After a deadly attack led to a murder charge and prompted his fellow Republicans to decry domestic terrorism, the president said there was “blame on both sides.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By planning a rally and \u003ca href=\"http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/08/14/trump-seriously-considering-pardon-for-sheriff-joe-arpaio.html\">reportedly stating\u003c/a> that he is “seriously considering” a pardon for Arpaio, Trump is seen as attempting to change the subject — and perhaps to further unite his base of support — in the face of criticism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the rally, Trump is also expected to speak in favor of a candidate he’s backing in the upcoming midterm elections; on Thursday, he tweeted his support for Kelli Ward, the challenger to Republican Sen. Jeff Flake. In recent interviews and in his new book, Flake, who refused to vote for Trump, said Republicans \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/08/08/542069448/jeff-flake-has-taken-on-trump-and-the-gop-but-will-it-matter\">made a “Faustian bargain”\u003c/a> by backing him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arpaio, 85, was voted out of the Maricopa County office in November; last month, he was found \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/07/31/540629884/ex-sheriff-joe-arpaio-convicted-of-criminal-contempt\">guilty of criminal contempt\u003c/a> by a federal judge in Arizona over his refusal to stop targeting Latinos for more than a year after a court order barred his deputies from detaining immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arpaio is facing a potential six-month prison term; he’s not scheduled to be sentenced until Oct. 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump and Arpaio have often spoken of their support for each another; the former sheriff backed Trump’s presidential campaign and spoke at events on his behalf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>News of the Phoenix rally \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/897974118959783937\">came via Twitter\u003c/a> on Wednesday night, when Trump posted a link to his campaign’s site where prospective attendees could register for tickets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement about the planned Trump rally, Stanton said, “It is my hope that more sound judgment prevails and that he delays his visit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that his city will prepare to protect First Amendment rights — and the public’s safety — if the rally goes ahead as planned.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The First Amendment should never be used as a shield or sword to justify violence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ACLU of California is reviewing requests for help \"on a case-by-case basis, but take the clear position that the First Amendment does not protect people who incite or engage in violence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Park Service directs \"anyone interested in expressing their opinion\" to send an email to goga_1st_amendment@nps.gov.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original Post, Tuesday, Aug. 14:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco city officials are united in their opposition to a right-wing rally planned on federal land near the Golden Gate Bridge later this month, and they're hurling criticism at the National Park Service for reportedly issuing a permit to the event's organizers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Portland-based \"Patriot Prayer,\" which is promoting an Aug. 26 \"Freedom Rally\" at Crissy Field, says it's not a white supremacist or white nationalist organization. But the group has often rallied with militias and unequivocal white nationalists at other events around the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are not welcoming this group into San Francisco to promote hate,\" Mayor Ed Lee said at a press conference Tuesday announcing the city's opposition to the rally. \"We think that the National Park Service, without adequate evaluation and conditions, would do just that and would then, I think, increase opportunities for violence in our city and on the shores of federal property.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"tgwmLulwRHhr0RpqET0cxfNvAXvKi3pG\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and San Francisco representatives in the state Legislature on Tuesday also announced their opposition to the rally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Park Service, which oversees the Golden Gate National Recreation Area that includes Crissy Field, did not respond to request for comment. It's unclear whether the service was aware of a letter Lee and other city leaders sent Tuesday afternoon that says San Francisco officials are \"outraged with the Golden Gate National Recreation Area's (GGNRA) decision to grant an event permit to Patriot Prayer on August 26 without proper planning and resources, given the public safety concerns.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To say that we are outraged is an understatement,\" Board of Supervisors President London Breed said. \"We will do everything that we can to stop you from being in San Francisco. We don’t want to see our city torn apart because of the hate and the violence that you continue to promote all over the country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the strong rhetoric, opponents of the rally are likely on shaky legal ground, according to Eugene Volokh, a UCLA law professor specializing in First Amendment issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In places presumed to be public forums, like the park where Patriot Prayer plans to rally, the government can impose only \"content-neutral restrictions, such as requiring some notice in advance so they can provide adequate protection,\" Volokh said in an interview. \"But those have to be content neutral. You can’t have one rule for Black Lives Matter protesters, one rule for animal rights protesters and another rule for white supremacist protesters.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"2wWu878Ku3oaTwkrBiq1wCL4KVswInQF\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But though they're stopping short of a legal threat at this point, San Francisco officials opposed to the rally are using the language of a legal argument. They're saying Patriot Prayer and affiliated groups are likely to \u003cem>incite\u003c/em> violence -- and incitement is a well-established legal exception to the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are a city of tolerance. We do enjoy free speech, but I suggest to you there is a difference between free speech and hate speech with the intent of causing violence,\" Lee said. \"People are coming here to commit violence, not to have an academic dialogue, not to have a fire[side] chat on differences of opinion. They’re coming here to promote violence. They’re aiming their guns at our people, and we’re going to stop them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Law professor Volokh said it would likely be more difficult for the National Park Service to revoke a permit, rather than reject or impose conditions before it was issued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Generally speaking, once the government issues a permit and then cancels it, there’s a pretty strong inference that it’s canceling it because of the viewpoint of the speakers,\" he said. \"That is unconstitutional.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Police Chief William Scott said he is trying to coordinate a law enforcement response with the National Park Service.

The First Amendment should never be used as a shield or sword to justify violence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ACLU of California is reviewing requests for help \"on a case-by-case basis, but take the clear position that the First Amendment does not protect people who incite or engage in violence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Park Service directs \"anyone interested in expressing their opinion\" to send an email to goga_1st_amendment@nps.gov.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original Post, Tuesday, Aug. 14:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco city officials are united in their opposition to a right-wing rally planned on federal land near the Golden Gate Bridge later this month, and they're hurling criticism at the National Park Service for reportedly issuing a permit to the event's organizers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Portland-based \"Patriot Prayer,\" which is promoting an Aug. 26 \"Freedom Rally\" at Crissy Field, says it's not a white supremacist or white nationalist organization. But the group has often rallied with militias and unequivocal white nationalists at other events around the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are not welcoming this group into San Francisco to promote hate,\" Mayor Ed Lee said at a press conference Tuesday announcing the city's opposition to the rally. \"We think that the National Park Service, without adequate evaluation and conditions, would do just that and would then, I think, increase opportunities for violence in our city and on the shores of federal property.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and San Francisco representatives in the state Legislature on Tuesday also announced their opposition to the rally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Park Service, which oversees the Golden Gate National Recreation Area that includes Crissy Field, did not respond to request for comment. It's unclear whether the service was aware of a letter Lee and other city leaders sent Tuesday afternoon that says San Francisco officials are \"outraged with the Golden Gate National Recreation Area's (GGNRA) decision to grant an event permit to Patriot Prayer on August 26 without proper planning and resources, given the public safety concerns.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To say that we are outraged is an understatement,\" Board of Supervisors President London Breed said. \"We will do everything that we can to stop you from being in San Francisco. We don’t want to see our city torn apart because of the hate and the violence that you continue to promote all over the country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the strong rhetoric, opponents of the rally are likely on shaky legal ground, according to Eugene Volokh, a UCLA law professor specializing in First Amendment issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In places presumed to be public forums, like the park where Patriot Prayer plans to rally, the government can impose only \"content-neutral restrictions, such as requiring some notice in advance so they can provide adequate protection,\" Volokh said in an interview. \"But those have to be content neutral. You can’t have one rule for Black Lives Matter protesters, one rule for animal rights protesters and another rule for white supremacist protesters.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But though they're stopping short of a legal threat at this point, San Francisco officials opposed to the rally are using the language of a legal argument. They're saying Patriot Prayer and affiliated groups are likely to \u003cem>incite\u003c/em> violence -- and incitement is a well-established legal exception to the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are a city of tolerance. We do enjoy free speech, but I suggest to you there is a difference between free speech and hate speech with the intent of causing violence,\" Lee said. \"People are coming here to commit violence, not to have an academic dialogue, not to have a fire[side] chat on differences of opinion. They’re coming here to promote violence. They’re aiming their guns at our people, and we’re going to stop them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Law professor Volokh said it would likely be more difficult for the National Park Service to revoke a permit, rather than reject or impose conditions before it was issued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Generally speaking, once the government issues a permit and then cancels it, there’s a pretty strong inference that it’s canceling it because of the viewpoint of the speakers,\" he said. \"That is unconstitutional.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Police Chief William Scott said he is trying to coordinate a law enforcement response with the National Park Service. He said SFPD is unlikely to set up a perimeter and allow far-right and far-left protesters to brawl -- an approach taken in other cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our message is clear: Violence will not be tolerated in any form,\" Scott said.

Reynolds Tobacco Co. of Winston-Salem, N.C., which gave more than $685,000 to the effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Howard, a spokesman for R.J. Reynolds, said the company is proud to be a part of the coalition and sees the referendum campaign “as an opportunity to educate the citizens of San Francisco on the negative impacts that this [ordinance] can have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The industry giant manufactures Newport, the nation’s leading menthol brand, which would be banned under the ordinance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just a complete hoax,” Glantz said. “This organization that’s putting itself out as a bunch of free-thinking concerned local citizens is actually just a front for the tobacco companies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Malia Cohen, who sponsored the tobacco measure, called the opposition referendum “a ridiculous attempt to put profit over people’s health.” She said R.J. Reynolds is attacking the legislation “because they know it is strong and that people will stop smoking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flavored tobacco and menthol cigarettes, including Newport, the No. 2 cigarette brand in the nation, are popular with young people and minorities, \u003ca href=\"http://californiahealthline.org/news/sf-seeks-to-ban-sale-of-menthol-cigarettes-and-flavored-tobacco-products/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">especially African-Americans\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Menthol is an especially pernicious additive,” Glantz said, since it interacts with nicotine to make cigarettes easier to smoke and all tobacco products more addictive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miriam Zouzounis, a board member with the Arab American Grocers Association and member of the coalition, insisted that the campaign against the tobacco ordinance started as a grass-roots effort by working-class shop owners and their customers. She said the tobacco industry stepped in only after the ban was approved unanimously by the Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zouzounis believes the ordinance is a burden for small merchants like her family of immigrants who own Ted’s Market, a corner grocery and sandwich shop south of Market Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Basically it is a redundant policy. There’s laws already on the books to keep tobacco out of the hands of kids,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She pointed to a \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520162SB7\">law\u003c/a> signed last year by Gov. Jerry Brown that raised the legal smoking age in California from 18 to 21. Under the new rules, anyone caught giving or selling tobacco products to people under 21 could face misdemeanor charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s kind of nonsense,” said Jiries Totah, an auto mechanic who buys Grizzly wintergreen-flavored chewing tobacco from Ted’s Market. “I’m 27. I pay my taxes and I do what I’m supposed to do as a citizen. How can someone tell me I can’t purchase a legal product?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zouzounis and other business owners say city officials failed to consult with them or consider amendments that addressed their concerns. The ordinance also gives out-of-state businesses that sell online an advantage over brick-and-mortar shops in the city, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can buy these products they’re trying to ban online and get them delivered straight to your address in SF, and we know that an online check of an ID is not fail-proof,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But advocates of the ban say these arguments are diversions from the real point, which is to reduce tobacco consumption and improve health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They vow to fight to keep the ordinance in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve seen this group pop up out of nowhere,” said Valerie Yerger, an associate professor of health policy at UCSF. “Obviously it’s a concerted effort that’s getting a lot of support from R.J. Reynolds to confuse the issues.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Reynolds Tobacco Co. of Winston-Salem, N.C., which gave more than $685,000 to the effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Howard, a spokesman for R.J. Reynolds, said the company is proud to be a part of the coalition and sees the referendum campaign “as an opportunity to educate the citizens of San Francisco on the negative impacts that this [ordinance] can have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The industry giant manufactures Newport, the nation’s leading menthol brand, which would be banned under the ordinance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just a complete hoax,” Glantz said. “This organization that’s putting itself out as a bunch of free-thinking concerned local citizens is actually just a front for the tobacco companies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Malia Cohen, who sponsored the tobacco measure, called the opposition referendum “a ridiculous attempt to put profit over people’s health.” She said R.J. Reynolds is attacking the legislation “because they know it is strong and that people will stop smoking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flavored tobacco and menthol cigarettes, including Newport, the No. 2 cigarette brand in the nation, are popular with young people and minorities, \u003ca href=\"http://californiahealthline.org/news/sf-seeks-to-ban-sale-of-menthol-cigarettes-and-flavored-tobacco-products/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">especially African-Americans\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Menthol is an especially pernicious additive,” Glantz said, since it interacts with nicotine to make cigarettes easier to smoke and all tobacco products more addictive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miriam Zouzounis, a board member with the Arab American Grocers Association and member of the coalition, insisted that the campaign against the tobacco ordinance started as a grass-roots effort by working-class shop owners and their customers. She said the tobacco industry stepped in only after the ban was approved unanimously by the Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zouzounis believes the ordinance is a burden for small merchants like her family of immigrants who own Ted’s Market, a corner grocery and sandwich shop south of Market Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Basically it is a redundant policy. There’s laws already on the books to keep tobacco out of the hands of kids,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She pointed to a \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520162SB7\">law\u003c/a> signed last year by Gov. Jerry Brown that raised the legal smoking age in California from 18 to 21. Under the new rules, anyone caught giving or selling tobacco products to people under 21 could face misdemeanor charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s kind of nonsense,” said Jiries Totah, an auto mechanic who buys Grizzly wintergreen-flavored chewing tobacco from Ted’s Market. “I’m 27. I pay my taxes and I do what I’m supposed to do as a citizen. How can someone tell me I can’t purchase a legal product?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zouzounis and other business owners say city officials failed to consult with them or consider amendments that addressed their concerns. The ordinance also gives out-of-state businesses that sell online an advantage over brick-and-mortar shops in the city, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can buy these products they’re trying to ban online and get them delivered straight to your address in SF, and we know that an online check of an ID is not fail-proof,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But advocates of the ban say these arguments are diversions from the real point, which is to reduce tobacco consumption and improve health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They vow to fight to keep the ordinance in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve seen this group pop up out of nowhere,” said Valerie Yerger, an associate professor of health policy at UCSF. “Obviously it’s a concerted effort that’s getting a lot of support from R.J. Reynolds to confuse the issues.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

If someone is caught in a melee, well look … all rules are off.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Criminal justice experts say police have little choice but to let these fights happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes intervention by police will result in everyone attacking the police,” said CSU San Bernardino professor Brian Levin. “If there’s one thing that can unify rival protesters, it’s the presence of the police. They’re making a tactical judgment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levin has studied violence on the extremes for more than two decades. He said these so-called free speech rallies have “really become roving street fights” that are growing in size.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the last couple years, we’ve seen mega-rallies,” Levin said. “The number of people has gone up exponentially. There have been 24 violent political rallies in California since December 2015. We’re going to see more of this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for police consulting with right-wing militias and white supremacists, Levin said, “the optics are horrible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But they’re not as horrible as someone getting shot to death,” he continued. “Sometimes, all you have is a bunch of lousy options. What police will generally try to do is keep thoroughfares and roads open, and do the best they can to protect the general public.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, white nationalists like Identity Evropa’s Nathan Damigo use the space that is void of police to fight — for the moment, and for future recruits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo told KQED that even the video from Charlottesville showing a driver running over a crowd of counterprotesters — in which a woman was killed and many others injured — will help his cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every time there is a major incident like this, people will look to the media,” Damigo said. “And then a handful of them will go online and see what they weren’t being told by the media. And they’ll say, ‘Wait a minute, why is the media trying to manipulate my perception on this?’ And they realize they’re being lied to.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

If someone is caught in a melee, well look … all rules are off.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Criminal justice experts say police have little choice but to let these fights happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes intervention by police will result in everyone attacking the police,” said CSU San Bernardino professor Brian Levin. “If there’s one thing that can unify rival protesters, it’s the presence of the police. They’re making a tactical judgment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levin has studied violence on the extremes for more than two decades. He said these so-called free speech rallies have “really become roving street fights” that are growing in size.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the last couple years, we’ve seen mega-rallies,” Levin said. “The number of people has gone up exponentially. There have been 24 violent political rallies in California since December 2015. We’re going to see more of this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for police consulting with right-wing militias and white supremacists, Levin said, “the optics are horrible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But they’re not as horrible as someone getting shot to death,” he continued. “Sometimes, all you have is a bunch of lousy options. What police will generally try to do is keep thoroughfares and roads open, and do the best they can to protect the general public.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, white nationalists like Identity Evropa’s Nathan Damigo use the space that is void of police to fight — for the moment, and for future recruits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damigo told KQED that even the video from Charlottesville showing a driver running over a crowd of counterprotesters — in which a woman was killed and many others injured — will help his cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every time there is a major incident like this, people will look to the media,” Damigo said. “And then a handful of them will go online and see what they weren’t being told by the media. And they’ll say, ‘Wait a minute, why is the media trying to manipulate my perception on this?’ And they realize they’re being lied to.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

She’d been trapped in transit for three miserable days, stewing in a horrific sickness only a heroin addict can understand. Again, and again, she stumbled down the aisle to the bathroom to vomit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She hadn’t used since Chicago. She told herself that if she could just get through this self-prescribed detox, if she could get to her mother’s house in her hometown of Lake Isabella, Calif., all her problems would be solved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been through a lot of horrible, crazy stuff,” said Menzel, now 34. “I’ve been raped. I’ve been beaten up. I’ve been in prison. But trying to kick heroin on the Greyhound on the way home was the worst experience of my entire life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Menzel finally arrived at the Bakersfield bus station at 6 a.m. that day in February 2014, her mother and stepfather were there waiting. The two women hadn’t seen each other in years, not since Menzel stole her mom’s jewelry and fled the area. They didn’t talk much as they drove east though the twisty canyon on State Route 178 toward Lake Isabella, a two-stoplight town with a population of 3,500, nestled in the golden Sierra Nevada foothills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Menzel hoped that the worst of the withdrawal was over — that a new life without heroin awaited. What she didn’t know was that heroin was now cheap and plentiful in Lake Isabella, as in so many small towns in the U.S., and that her best hope for treatment was far away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>32 Churches, No Methadone Clinic\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts recommend medication-assisted treatment for drug users like Menzel, one of nearly 2 million Americans struggling with opioid addiction, whether to prescription pills or heroin. MAT, as the therapy is known, has been proven far more effective — and less dangerous and miserable — than cold-turkey quitting. Drugs like methadone and buprenorphine can help suppress opioid cravings and stave off the physical and psychological symptoms of withdrawal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When carefully managed, MAT can cut the risk of overdose death by half, research shows. But not all medical providers \u003ca href=\"http://californiahealthline.org/news/one-major-force-lacking-in-fight-against-opioid-addiction-in-rural-california-doctors/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">are properly trained\u003c/a> and approved to provide the treatments, which themselves are opioids (albeit less likely to be abused). Only state-licensed and federally approved clinics can provide methadone, and doctors need to apply for a federal Drug Enforcement Administration waiver to prescribe buprenorphine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lake Isabella sits in the Kern River Valley, home to 32 churches but not a single methadone clinic or doctor able or willing to prescribe buprenorphine.

In addition, $6 million was dedicated to support treatment in tribal communities. The agency hopes to create a network of “oases” in the state’s vast treatment deserts, many of which are in far Northern California, as well as eastern Kern County, which encompasses Lake Isabella.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The grants aim to pay for clinical and educational support to rural physicians, many of whom have never been trained in addiction medicine. Local doctors will handle most buprenorphine prescriptions, and in some towns, a mini-methadone program may set up shop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But eastern Kern didn’t make the cut. For now, expanding opioid treatment in this area, and eastward, will have to wait.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without such help, many experts say people like Heather Menzel — whose story a reporter followed over the course of a year — barely stand a chance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hooked Again\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the beginning, Menzel struggled to stay clean at her mother’s.

On average, 91 people a day in the United States died of an opioid overdose in 2015, the latest figures available \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/epidemic/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/06/05/upshot/opioid-epidemic-drug-overdose-deaths-are-rising-faster-than-ever.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">projections show\u003c/a> the death rate will continue to rise. Overall, California’s opioid death rate is relatively low: 4.73 deaths per 100,000 people. Still, 1,966 Californians died of an opioid overdose in 2015. \u003ca href=\"https://pdop.shinyapps.io/ODdash_v1/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kern County’s rate\u003c/a> was nearly double the state’s in 2015, and some sparsely populated rural counties, mostly up north, have rates that are far higher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Policymakers fear the death risk is growing as use of fentanyl moves west. A synthetic opioid \u003ca href=\"https://www.drugabuse.gov/drugs-abuse/fentanyl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">estimated to be 50 to 100 times stronger\u003c/a> than morphine, fentanyl has caused numerous overdoses and deaths on the \u003ca href=\"http://khn.org/news/another-circle-of-hell-surviving-opioids-in-the-fentanyl-era/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">East Coast\u003c/a>. Some policymakers fear the fentanyl monster is heading to California, a potentially vast market of addicts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We really feel an urgency in California to increase access to services so if and when fentanyl arrives, we are more prepared to deal with it,” said Marlies Perez, chief of the Substance Use Disorder Compliance Division at DHCS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immediate, convenient access to these treatments is key. “It is very important for someone in the middle of addiction to access treatment when they are ready,” said Pfeifer. “There are these moments when people have wake-up calls — when they are ready to seek care and get out of the chaos of trying to get drugs to feel normal again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘What Do I Do?’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Menzel’s wake-up happened when she noticed that she was still sick after a morning heroin injection. After an angry call to her drug dealer to accuse him of ripping her off, Menzel soon realized it wasn’t fake heroin — she was pregnant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She took the bus to the emergency room in Bakersfield. “I’m fully addicted to heroin,” she blurted out to the ER doctor. “What do I do?” The doctor told her, “If you want to save your baby, you need to get on methadone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Affording methadone wasn’t a problem for Menzel. Medi-Cal, the state’s version of the Medicaid program for the poor, covered the costs. What impeded her was the daily trip from Lake Isabella to Bakersfield — an hour-plus bus ride down the curving canyon road. A round-trip ticket cost $5, more than she could spare. And if she missed an early bus back, she had to stay most of the day in Bakersfield to catch the next one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_360816\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-360816 size-large\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2017/08/menzel_4_1170-1020x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/08/menzel_4_1170-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/08/menzel_4_1170-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/08/menzel_4_1170-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/08/menzel_4_1170-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/08/menzel_4_1170-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/08/menzel_4_1170-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/08/menzel_4_1170-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/08/menzel_4_1170-520x347.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/08/menzel_4_1170.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">After receiving her methadone dose at a clinic in Bakersfield, Calif., Heather Menzel waits for the bus to take her back home to Lake Isabella on June 6, 2016.

She’d been trapped in transit for three miserable days, stewing in a horrific sickness only a heroin addict can understand. Again, and again, she stumbled down the aisle to the bathroom to vomit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She hadn’t used since Chicago. She told herself that if she could just get through this self-prescribed detox, if she could get to her mother’s house in her hometown of Lake Isabella, Calif., all her problems would be solved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been through a lot of horrible, crazy stuff,” said Menzel, now 34. “I’ve been raped. I’ve been beaten up. I’ve been in prison. But trying to kick heroin on the Greyhound on the way home was the worst experience of my entire life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Menzel finally arrived at the Bakersfield bus station at 6 a.m. that day in February 2014, her mother and stepfather were there waiting. The two women hadn’t seen each other in years, not since Menzel stole her mom’s jewelry and fled the area. They didn’t talk much as they drove east though the twisty canyon on State Route 178 toward Lake Isabella, a two-stoplight town with a population of 3,500, nestled in the golden Sierra Nevada foothills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Menzel hoped that the worst of the withdrawal was over — that a new life without heroin awaited. What she didn’t know was that heroin was now cheap and plentiful in Lake Isabella, as in so many small towns in the U.S., and that her best hope for treatment was far away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

MAT, as the therapy is known, has been proven far more effective — and less dangerous and miserable — than cold-turkey quitting. Drugs like methadone and buprenorphine can help suppress opioid cravings and stave off the physical and psychological symptoms of withdrawal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When carefully managed, MAT can cut the risk of overdose death by half, research shows. But not all medical providers \u003ca href=\"http://californiahealthline.org/news/one-major-force-lacking-in-fight-against-opioid-addiction-in-rural-california-doctors/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">are properly trained\u003c/a> and approved to provide the treatments, which themselves are opioids (albeit less likely to be abused). Only state-licensed and federally approved clinics can provide methadone, and doctors need to apply for a federal Drug Enforcement Administration waiver to prescribe buprenorphine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lake Isabella sits in the Kern River Valley, home to 32 churches but not a single methadone clinic or doctor able or willing to prescribe buprenorphine.

In addition, $6 million was dedicated to support treatment in tribal communities. The agency hopes to create a network of “oases” in the state’s vast treatment deserts, many of which are in far Northern California, as well as eastern Kern County, which encompasses Lake Isabella.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The grants aim to pay for clinical and educational support to rural physicians, many of whom have never been trained in addiction medicine. Local doctors will handle most buprenorphine prescriptions, and in some towns, a mini-methadone program may set up shop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But eastern Kern didn’t make the cut. For now, expanding opioid treatment in this area, and eastward, will have to wait.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without such help, many experts say people like Heather Menzel — whose story a reporter followed over the course of a year — barely stand a chance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hooked Again\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the beginning, Menzel struggled to stay clean at her mother’s. She soon fell back in with her old drug-abusing friends. Within two months of arriving home, her grand plan for getting clean slid into her veins and disappeared with the push of a plunger.

On average, 91 people a day in the United States died of an opioid overdose in 2015, the latest figures available \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/epidemic/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/06/05/upshot/opioid-epidemic-drug-overdose-deaths-are-rising-faster-than-ever.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">projections show\u003c/a> the death rate will continue to rise. Overall, California’s opioid death rate is relatively low: 4.73 deaths per 100,000 people. Still, 1,966 Californians died of an opioid overdose in 2015. \u003ca href=\"https://pdop.shinyapps.io/ODdash_v1/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kern County’s rate\u003c/a> was nearly double the state’s in 2015, and some sparsely populated rural counties, mostly up north, have rates that are far higher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Policymakers fear the death risk is growing as use of fentanyl moves west. A synthetic opioid \u003ca href=\"https://www.drugabuse.gov/drugs-abuse/fentanyl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">estimated to be 50 to 100 times stronger\u003c/a> than morphine, fentanyl has caused numerous overdoses and deaths on the \u003ca href=\"http://khn.org/news/another-circle-of-hell-surviving-opioids-in-the-fentanyl-era/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">East Coast\u003c/a>. Some policymakers fear the fentanyl monster is heading to California, a potentially vast market of addicts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We really feel an urgency in California to increase access to services so if and when fentanyl arrives, we are more prepared to deal with it,” said Marlies Perez, chief of the Substance Use Disorder Compliance Division at DHCS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immediate, convenient access to these treatments is key. “It is very important for someone in the middle of addiction to access treatment when they are ready,” said Pfeifer. “There are these moments when people have wake-up calls — when they are ready to seek care and get out of the chaos of trying to get drugs to feel normal again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘What Do I Do?’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Menzel’s wake-up happened when she noticed that she was still sick after a morning heroin injection. After an angry call to her drug dealer to accuse him of ripping her off, Menzel soon realized it wasn’t fake heroin — she was pregnant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She took the bus to the emergency room in Bakersfield. “I’m fully addicted to heroin,” she blurted out to the ER doctor. “What do I do?” The doctor told her, “If you want to save your baby, you need to get on methadone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Affording methadone wasn’t a problem for Menzel. Medi-Cal, the state’s version of the Medicaid program for the poor, covered the costs. What impeded her was the daily trip from Lake Isabella to Bakersfield — an hour-plus bus ride down the curving canyon road. A round-trip ticket cost $5, more than she could spare. And if she missed an early bus back, she had to stay most of the day in Bakersfield to catch the next one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_360816\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-360816 size-large\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2017/08/menzel_4_1170-1020x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/08/menzel_4_1170-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/08/menzel_4_1170-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/08/menzel_4_1170-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/08/menzel_4_1170-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/08/menzel_4_1170-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/08/menzel_4_1170-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/08/menzel_4_1170-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/08/menzel_4_1170-520x347.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/08/menzel_4_1170.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">After receiving her methadone dose at a clinic in Bakersfield, Calif., Heather Menzel waits for the bus to take her back home to Lake Isabella on June 6, 2016.

"content": "\u003cp>At the intersection where protections against unreasonable search and seizure meet the rights to free speech and association, there is now a web hosting company called DreamHost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California-based company is resisting a Department of Justice warrant that demands it hand over all files related to DisruptJ20.org, a website created by one of its customers to plan and announce actions intended to interrupt President Trump's inauguration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inauguration Day protests in Washington, D.C., turned violent; \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/mass-inauguration-day-arrests-a-challenge-for-prosecutors/2017/02/04/594bf238-ea2b-11e6-bf6f-301b6b443624_story.html?tid=a_inl-amp&utm_term=.cd904e5537f6\">230 people were arrested \u003c/a>and charged with felony rioting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In gathering evidence for the nearly 200 still-open cases in D.C. court, the Justice Department issued a warrant that DreamHost says is so broad it would require handing over the logs of 1.3 million visits to the website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company \u003ca href=\"https://www.dreamhost.com/blog/we-fight-for-the-users/\">called\u003c/a> the warrant \"a highly untargeted demand that chills free association and the right of free speech afforded by the Constitution. ... This is, in our opinion, a strong example of investigatory overreach and a clear abuse of government authority.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A week after the inauguration, DreamHost says the Justice Department asked it for records relating to the person who had registered the site — such as the person's physical and email addresses — and it complied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in July, the government issued \u003ca href=\"https://www.dreamhost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/DH-Search-Warrant.pdf\">a new warrant\u003c/a> that asked for additional materials: \"all files, databases, and database records\" related to DisruptJ20's website, as prosecutors moved to seize all information \"involving the individuals who participated, planed [sic], organized, or incited the January 20 riot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DreamHost resisted providing the newly requested information, citing concerns that the warrant was \"overbroad\" and may result in \"overseizure.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Justice Department said DreamHost must provide the information regardless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"DreamHost's opinion of the breadth of the warrant does not provide it with a basis for refusing to comply with the Court's search warrant and begin an immediate production,\" U.S. Attorney Channing Phillips wrote \u003ca href=\"https://www.dreamhost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/DH-DOJMotiontoShowCause.pdf\">in a motion\u003c/a> to the D.C. Superior Court, which will soon hold a hearing regarding the matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.eff.org/files/2017/08/14/opposition_motion.pdf\">In its filing with the court\u003c/a>, DreamHost says the warrant requires the company \"to turn over every piece of information it has about every visitor to a website expressing political views concerning the current administration\":\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"This information includes the IP address for the visitor, the website pages viewed by the visitor, even a detailed description of software running in the visitor's computer. In essence, the Search Warrant not only aims to identify the political dissidents of the current administration, but attempts to identify and understand what content each of these dissidents viewed on the website. The Search Warrant also includes a demand that DreamHost disclose the content of all e-mail inquiries and comments submitted from numerous private e-mail accounts and prompted by the website, all through a single sweeping warrant.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department told NPR that it won't comment on the case aside from the court filings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is the government really asking for all those visitor logs?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes, they definitely are,\" says Electronic Frontier Foundation senior staff attorney \u003ca href=\"https://www.eff.org/about/staff/mark-rumold\">Mark Rumold\u003c/a>. EFF advocates for internet privacy and free speech, and has advised DreamHost in its case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rumold tells NPR that when DreamHost first approached EFF about responding to the warrant, he guessed \"that DOJ would realize how broad the warrant was, and say, oh you know, in fact we're not actually looking for IP logs for everyone who's ever visited the site\" and would narrow its request accordingly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But instead, the government insisted on DreamHost's compliance with the warrant as written.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It always raises red flags when the government is trying to pry into the organization or the association of its political opponents,\" Rumold says. \"That said, the DOJ has apparently demonstrated to a judge that there is probable cause to believe that something on this site is evidence of a crime.\" But, he says, the logs of everyone who ever visited the site, along with when and where they viewed it — \"there's no way that that's all evidence of a crime.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's always troubling when the government seizes far more information than it could ever use,\" he says. \"That's just generally a problem regardless of the investigation. I think what's particularly unique about this case is that the crime and the topic that is being investigated is a group of people who are politically opposed to the president.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For administrators of websites that involve political dissent or discussion, Rumold says best practices would dictate not keeping logs of visitor data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Legba Carrefour, who was one of the organizers for DisruptJ20, says the site's administrators \u003cem>didn't\u003c/em> keep this data for DisruptJ20.org, but DreamHost did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We would not keep records on who visits our website,\" Carrefour told NPR. \"We don't want to know, and we don't care. But also I'm sure like half of those are probably cops\" checking to see what the group had planned for the inauguration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carrefour said DisruptJ20 used what is called \"the open organizing model\": Instead of making plans in secret, they posted everything they intended to do right on their website. They held biweekly meetings to audiences of 200 or 300 people at a time, in places like church basements, which he assumes police attended. \"We feel like open organizing is a better way to recruit people and also sort of a more honest, forthright, and successful way of organizing mass mobilizations.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carrefour said he was \"surprised and impressed\" that DreamHost is \"going to the lengths they are to resist\" the government's request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DreamHost says its stance isn't a political one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This has become a political issue for many — but our interest in this case truly isn't that specific,\" DreamHost spokesman Brett Dunst wrote in an email to NPR. \"We're completely content-agnostic in this. For DreamHost, this is simply an over-broad request for records, and we feel obligated to contest it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said DreamHost keeps server logs in order to manage the sites of its 400,000-plus customers and identify issues like Distributed Denial of Service attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We only retain those logs for a very brief time,\" Dunst wrote. \"The DOJ served us with a preservation notice immediately after the inauguration, which is why we still have access to that data in this case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department's demand for the logs has troubling implications, says Georgetown University law professor \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.georgetown.edu/faculty/ohm-paul.cfm\">Paul Ohm\u003c/a>, who formerly worked as an attorney in the Department of Justice's Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's disturbing to me,\" Ohm tells NPR, \"that with a single warrant, signed by a single judge — especially given the speech implications of this particular website — it's disturbing to me that that could be the single key that unlocks the political and speech habits of I-don't-know-how-many-people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He estimated that 1.3 million visitor logs could represent thousands of people, or hundreds of thousands. And he said that the framers of the U.S. Constitution specifically wanted to avoid practices like British general warrants, which gave sweeping access to search any location with a single piece of paper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This smells like a general warrant,\" says Ohm. \"I think the framers would recognize a single request to get the reading habits of tens of thousands of people to essentially be the closest thing we have in modern times to a general warrant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ohm says courts have often considered how rights against illegal search and seizure begin to overlap with free speech rights — and \"this case is tailor-made to sit at that intersection.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This site is about speech. It's about listening, which is also kind of a First Amendment right,\" he says. \"It's about assembly. It's about petitioning the government. And so I think it's not going to be hard for the lawyers in this case to say this isn't just about policing and the limits of policing. This is about disruption of speech. And so for all those reasons, it really raises the stakes on this particular litigation and it means it's going to get a close look from the courts.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Superior Court, which will soon hold a hearing regarding the matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.eff.org/files/2017/08/14/opposition_motion.pdf\">In its filing with the court\u003c/a>, DreamHost says the warrant requires the company \"to turn over every piece of information it has about every visitor to a website expressing political views concerning the current administration\":\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"This information includes the IP address for the visitor, the website pages viewed by the visitor, even a detailed description of software running in the visitor's computer. In essence, the Search Warrant not only aims to identify the political dissidents of the current administration, but attempts to identify and understand what content each of these dissidents viewed on the website. The Search Warrant also includes a demand that DreamHost disclose the content of all e-mail inquiries and comments submitted from numerous private e-mail accounts and prompted by the website, all through a single sweeping warrant.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department told NPR that it won't comment on the case aside from the court filings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is the government really asking for all those visitor logs?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes, they definitely are,\" says Electronic Frontier Foundation senior staff attorney \u003ca href=\"https://www.eff.org/about/staff/mark-rumold\">Mark Rumold\u003c/a>. EFF advocates for internet privacy and free speech, and has advised DreamHost in its case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rumold tells NPR that when DreamHost first approached EFF about responding to the warrant, he guessed \"that DOJ would realize how broad the warrant was, and say, oh you know, in fact we're not actually looking for IP logs for everyone who's ever visited the site\" and would narrow its request accordingly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But instead, the government insisted on DreamHost's compliance with the warrant as written.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It always raises red flags when the government is trying to pry into the organization or the association of its political opponents,\" Rumold says. \"That said, the DOJ has apparently demonstrated to a judge that there is probable cause to believe that something on this site is evidence of a crime.\" But, he says, the logs of everyone who ever visited the site, along with when and where they viewed it — \"there's no way that that's all evidence of a crime.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's always troubling when the government seizes far more information than it could ever use,\" he says. \"That's just generally a problem regardless of the investigation. I think what's particularly unique about this case is that the crime and the topic that is being investigated is a group of people who are politically opposed to the president.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For administrators of websites that involve political dissent or discussion, Rumold says best practices would dictate not keeping logs of visitor data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Legba Carrefour, who was one of the organizers for DisruptJ20, says the site's administrators \u003cem>didn't\u003c/em> keep this data for DisruptJ20.org, but DreamHost did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We would not keep records on who visits our website,\" Carrefour told NPR. \"We don't want to know, and we don't care. But also I'm sure like half of those are probably cops\" checking to see what the group had planned for the inauguration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carrefour said DisruptJ20 used what is called \"the open organizing model\": Instead of making plans in secret, they posted everything they intended to do right on their website. They held biweekly meetings to audiences of 200 or 300 people at a time, in places like church basements, which he assumes police attended. \"We feel like open organizing is a better way to recruit people and also sort of a more honest, forthright, and successful way of organizing mass mobilizations.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carrefour said he was \"surprised and impressed\" that DreamHost is \"going to the lengths they are to resist\" the government's request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DreamHost says its stance isn't a political one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This has become a political issue for many — but our interest in this case truly isn't that specific,\" DreamHost spokesman Brett Dunst wrote in an email to NPR. \"We're completely content-agnostic in this. For DreamHost, this is simply an over-broad request for records, and we feel obligated to contest it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said DreamHost keeps server logs in order to manage the sites of its 400,000-plus customers and identify issues like Distributed Denial of Service attacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We only retain those logs for a very brief time,\" Dunst wrote. \"The DOJ served us with a preservation notice immediately after the inauguration, which is why we still have access to that data in this case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department's demand for the logs has troubling implications, says Georgetown University law professor \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.georgetown.edu/faculty/ohm-paul.cfm\">Paul Ohm\u003c/a>, who formerly worked as an attorney in the Department of Justice's Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's disturbing to me,\" Ohm tells NPR, \"that with a single warrant, signed by a single judge — especially given the speech implications of this particular website — it's disturbing to me that that could be the single key that unlocks the political and speech habits of I-don't-know-how-many-people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He estimated that 1.3 million visitor logs could represent thousands of people, or hundreds of thousands. And he said that the framers of the U.S. Constitution specifically wanted to avoid practices like British general warrants, which gave sweeping access to search any location with a single piece of paper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This smells like a general warrant,\" says Ohm. \"I think the framers would recognize a single request to get the reading habits of tens of thousands of people to essentially be the closest thing we have in modern times to a general warrant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ohm says courts have often considered how rights against illegal search and seizure begin to overlap with free speech rights — and \"this case is tailor-made to sit at that intersection.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
