Thank God for @potus who is destroying the drug trade..it's just unfortunate the liberal haters with TDS are fighting him every step of the way. @MassGovernor Michelle Wu and the @MaSenateDems are trying their best to keep drugs, homelessness and immorality BostonStrong. Gross.

Our state government supports the use of IV drugs in the open. They give them the tool to kill themselves. The freaking irony!

Sadly democrats work against Trump who closed the border, is fighting the drug cartels. Just look at the democrats run cities, they are a complete mess.

Only in Boston would they make a display like this, then condemn Trump for destroying drug boats meant for the US. Hypocrites.

Libs will do shit like this then vote to hand out needles and drugs to drug addicts.

20,000 flags is a stark reminder, but awareness alone won't stop the next 20,000. Which investment matters more: treatment access or harm reduction?

So much help and attention given to drug addiction (a choice) yet mental health/suicide (not a choice) is not given a quarter of the attention or help. Pathetic

A woman is excused for murder because she was on multiple substances and not prescribed enough of them, so no consequences. All of Boston says drugs are good

A good indicator of how Democrats in the state have done nothing to curb or control drug use. They hand out needles and release repeat offenders over and over. Very few ever recover.

If Biden and like minded libtards didn’t open the borders fewer would’ve died. We know because under Trump the numbers are way down.
