HEY @chesaboudin - WHY has the Honduran drug dealer my kid buys from allowed out after being arrested THREE TIMES? And that’s only what I know of-I’m sure there’s more. My daughter is accountable for her use, YOU are accountable for his release!

The more time my daughter is away from drugs and her addiction (6 months), the more she starts to open up to me. My latest conversation with her, which I share with her permission, is not only heartbreaking, but infuriating.

I think more people need to understand what these Open Drug Markets/Scenes REALLY are. These are not people simply “down on their luck”. We are talking about people IN CRISIS with severe drug addiction and mental illness. Literally surrounded by drug dealers peddling death.

Woke up this morning 11 years free from the bondage of my drug/alcohol addiction. It's been a challenging year to say the least. I've waded through the death of my brother to addiction and a cancer diagnosis - neck deep in feelings that I used to "use" at. One day at a time.

She says there are a number of days she was there that she can’t even remember. We found her in a RV/encampment/drug scene days later. She weighed less than 100 lbs. She was at her worst. I hope she NEVER recalls what happened to her in those days she can’t remember.

These activists handed my daughter a tent. And City funded nonprofits handed her foil/pipes/straws under the guise of “making a connection”. She was able to languish out there much longer because of this. Where do I send the therapy bill? @StopDrugDeaths

These activists are the same people who hand out tents to keep people on the street instead of working to bring them indoors, as we are trying to do. They are instructing and encouraging people to refuse shelter – to remain on the street instead of going indoors.

From my beautiful daughter Sam (now 18mo sober) 🙏🏼 When you are FOREVER traumatized by your life as addict on the streets of San Francisco. When you are offered nothing but shit to get high and die. #ThatsFentalife @StopDrugDeaths @TSFAction @Twolfrecovery @SteveAdami

I survived my 10 hr Twitter jail. Apparently we’re not allowed to talk about how pipes/foil/straws and enabling help to expedite the death of addicts on the streets of San Francisco. #NotShuttinUp #SpeakYourTruth #WeDoRecover

Beyond proud to stand in solidarity with these women. It’s not easy sharing your family struggles with addiction. It’s painful. Heartbreaking. Exhausting. But NOT shameful! Speak out! Our loved ones need HELP! ⁦ @StopDrugDeaths #TreatmentOnDemand #MADAD #NoShame

@ShellenbergerMD @lwoodhouse During my meth induced psychosis, I was convinced that Jimmy Hoffa and the Teamsters had me under surveillance. I look back on these emails I sent myself in 2011 and am shocked that I made it out with my mind intact. Point being ~ I believed EVERY BIT of these emails.

Absolutely true! Not only does the City provide legal aid, my daughters dealer was represented by the ACLU! 🤬

The City of San Francisco is effectively giving legal aid to the Sinaloa cartel to evade its own police force. The same kinds of things are happening in other cities, too. I'm focusing on SF because I know it best and because it's the bleeding edge case.

Lots of harm reduction vs abstinence talk today. So many opinions. Here is how harm was reduced in my addiction/recovery: -MANDATED to a facility by @ACSOSheriffs due to meth-induced psychosis. They saved my life♥️ Apparently public electrical boxes are NOT surveilling me!

I will NEVER stop fighting for addicts on the street who are being handed tools by @sfgov to literally aid in their death. Hundreds of families have contacted us from all over the US asking us to check on their loved ones in #SanFrancisco IT HAS TO END!

One question: Are you blaming cops for the release of my daughter’s drug dealer? THREE TIMES!?!? They brought him to @chesaboudin THREE TIMES! 🤬😡😤

I'll say it AGAIN - Placing an UNTREATED mentally ill/drug addicted person in a room ALONE is DANGEROUS! You can provide all the "rap around" services in the world, but until they are REQUIRED to participate, these incidents will continue.

All those out there that believe enabling a drug addict to continue to use until “they decide” to get treatment , PLEASE READ : Three days ago, I received a frantic phone call from my 84 yr old mother. Barely audible and in tears she said “Billy had a stroke”.

No names tags on @UrbanAlchemyUA And they NEVER identify themselves- unless they threaten you with “I’m supervisor whoop your ass”.

How long will @UrbanAlchemyUA go unchecked. @JeffKositsky - can we get some help here? One of our loved ones was assaulted and it’s not an isolated incident. The very people they are hired to HELP are being mistreated. @StopDrugDeaths

Tomorrow morning I will stand in protest of the illegal drug den “Linkage” center being operated by @sfgov . My daughter being able to buy and use drugs sanctioned by @sfgov is a travesty. I should file a lawsuit!
