“I never use the word arbitrary. And here’s why: because all of these have been political decisions.” In an interview with Tasha Sandoval, Daisy Hernández discusses the legislation & activism that have led to wins & losses in the fight for social justice.

ADDICTION, INC. by Emily Dufton is out today! This eye-opening book explains how the war on drugs created the gold standard treatment for addiction—until America’s opioid crisis got privatized for profit, to the detriment of patients. Read an excerpt over at @@medpagetoday.com.

From federal investment in nationalized treatment clinics for addiction to a predatory system focused on profits, leaving those who need the most help behind, Dr. Emily Dufton takes us through Nixon's legacy, the failed War on Drugs, and our pathway to fixing our broken treatment system.

Coming up tomorrow (Monday) at 2:00 pm ET on my YouTube channel. @emilydufton.bsky.social will be joining me and we would love to see you in the live chat! www.youtube.com/live/LvGd1eD...
