suffered from an opioid use disorder herself, until she found her way into sobriety through a nine-month stay at a recovery house.

Though Feldman now lives in Fishtown, she hasn’t forgotten about Kensington, which she frequently visits to do outreach. She had recently been bonding with a user named Johnny, who was in favor of CUES, she said, and whom she was supposed to pick up to testify at Wednesday night’s meeting.

But when Feldman drove under the Tulip Street bridge Wednesday morning where Johnny was staying, she learned that he had just died of an overdose.

“He was just a beautiful soul who was in a lot of pain who just left this earth – and who is going to tell that he is gone?” Feldman asked after the meeting.I previously reported on the Hammond family, a family of ranchers in Oregon whose two patriarchs are being targeted in a government conspiracy to remove the ranchers from the land they have been on for decades. The family has been threatened by federal agents and fear for their lives. Now, the Bureau of Land Management is doing the very thing that the Hammonds did, which is burn off some of the land, only in the case of the BLM, they have killed more than 80 head of cattle, endangered the ranchers, injured other cattle, burnt homes and other structures such as fences and power poles and threatened an entire town! Yet, it is ranchers who are considered terrorists by the feds, not the BLM.
