Help ain't coming from the top down. Presidents, senators, governors, these people wouldn't piss on our teeth if they were on fire. We got to have each other's backs out there. I'm talking mutual aid organizations, community-driven programs, grassroots harm reduction services. This is what saves lives and builds solidarity.

He critiques both Trump and Biden's drug policies, shedding light on their shortcomings and the ongoing failures of the drug war.
