Over the last few mornings, HRAC participants have not only voiced their opposition of the Drug Induced Homicide element to the Fentanyl criminalization bill being heard at the Capitol tomorrow, but signed Do Not Prosecute Orders. #reframetheblame

A conservative dark money group is running Prop 132 asking voters to put more Coloradans in prison for fentanyl. Is it backed by people who make money off private prisons? Don’t know. It’s dark money.

Fentanyl exposure doesn’t work this way. It would take massive, weaponized quantities of fentanyl powder continuously aerosolized over a prolonged exposure window to cause clinically significant effects via passive inhalation.
“Hazmat” cleanup is unnecessary, and expensive.

Thanks for asking! Here’s who it’s NOT backed by:
Colorado Society of Addiction Medicine
Colorado Academy of Family Physicians
Colorado Psychiatric Society
American College of Emergency Physicians (Colorado Chapter)
All oppose Prop 132.

Thank you @sarahblyth for the tour of @vancouverops, esp. last minute as I reached out to you 3 days ago while rush planning my 30hrs in Vancouver! And thanks so much for the OPS “toque” - I googled what that meant later and learned a new word! I treasure it 😍
Tuesday updates. We had a visitor this morning from Denver @DrSarahAxelrath Denver is dealing with the same issues but with very little support.

I just watched Love In The Time Of Fentanyl about a group of activists’ response to the overdose crisis in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside and I am reminded that the entire organizing principle of my career is:
I absolutely love working with people who use drugs.

There were 1,542 news stories about “rainbow fentanyl” in the two months before Halloween, most warning that dealers could slip this drug to trick-or-treating kids.
There hasn’t been a single story today confirming this happened anywhere in the U.S.

An inspiring evening with @samrivera1111 from @_OnPointNYC, sharing his experiences of running the nation’s first overdose prevention center #OPC and building solidarity for the difficult times ahead. Thank you @HRAC_Denver, @ccjrc1, and @ColoradoDPC for filling my cup.

By centering political optics Johnston undermines evidence-based harm reduction approaches.
Sweeping people away from services and disappearing them into warehouses while ignoring overdoses + layoffs is not public safety. It’s politics over people. 5/

When one of Denver’s big developers cheers Mayor Johnston for echoing Trump’s “tough on crime” playbook you know he’s on the wrong side of history. Addiction is a public health issue.
Here's why mandating treatment + laying off workers is doomed to fail🧵 denverite.com/2025/08/25/den…

exactly this, there are people sitting in jail because they were charged with “endangering a police officer” due to “fentanyl exposure.” this article is from 2022.

Big article out in @denverpost investigating @dobetterdnvr’s claims to be providing necessary “citizen journalism” to the City of Denver.
🚨 The Post and an outside expert in ethical journalism found:
-Unsubstiated claims
-Personal attacks
-Lack of transparency
-No solutions

BREAKING: Trump’s new Executive Order directs states to treat homelessness and mental illness as crimes. Criminalization doesn’t help anyone – we need housing and healthcare, not handcuffs and budget cuts. #HousingNotHandcuffs
