I have trouble with using tone in my words but not interpreting tone from others’ words. Weird, isn’t it?

    This trend was already shifting

    Without the complete provisional data through the years’ end, Vox could not conclude that “some 27,000 fewer Americans died of a drug overdose in 2024 than in 2023. That year-on-year drop is the steepest single-year decline since the government first began keeping track of overdose deaths 45 years ago. It means that drug deaths are now finally coming back down to pre-pandemic levels — and that we can make progress on what can seem like the most intractable social ills.”

    right as we make changes

    The proposed budget has not passed yet. A headline mentioning “Naloxone program that turned tide on overdoses cut by new budget” will go out if/once it passes with that provision, and it cannot go out before, since otherwise the changes haven’t been made and there’s a chance it won’t. Like I’ve mentioned, a linked article already discusses how the budget provision will cut naloxone programs more.

    disingenuous

    How is it misrepresenting anything? The entire article is about the precise narcan program methods the article attributes the success to with a clear message that it should continue and is being threatened by the proposed budget.

    One of the triggers for the current debate is this post, which followed the removal of a comment comparing National Socialism with the current situation in Israel, which can be considered a trivialization of National Socialism. Such statements can, among other things, lead to imprisonment. Among other things, the post claimed that the removal had a Zionist motive, an accusation that should always be supported by appropriate evidence and prior to which it should be ruled out that there are alternative explanations.
