Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.
Voters in Kansas saw through a blatant political power grab and sent a message — our courts are not for sale.
@altcdc.altgov.info can you direct us to large data sets from reliable sources w/clear data dictionaries & procedures to help us better understand COVID, now 6yrs in? Vaccines were hugely beneficial; a friend in a discussion wants to understand the vaccine myocarditis risk in different demographics.
“[If] you’ve confirmed Pam Bondi, Pete Hegseth, Kash Patel, and Kristi Noem, you’ve funded ICE, you’ve stood by while Trump hollowed out the [intelligence community], fired thousands of people, drained the U.S. Treasury…. Is Todd Blanche really going to be THE LINE?”—Asha Rangappa on the U.S. Senate

If you can’t impeach a President for laundering money, War crimes, corruption, Market Manipulations, illegal Wars nowadays, what can you impeach them for?
Josh Schooley: “Social Security is not a ‘scam’ or a ‘Ponzi scheme’. It never was. The real scam is calling a program that has paid out benefits reliably for 90yrs a ‘fraud’, while quietly building the paperwork & political cover to gut it…” #socialsecurity joshschooley.substack.com/p/theyre-com...
They're Coming For Your Social Security. Here's Proof.
From a sign on the Senate floor to the Treasury Secretary's slip of the tongue, the plan to gut Social Security is already out in the open. You just have to connect the dots.

Aftermath of this week’s storm! My hiking friend for scale in the first downed tree root cavity. Second photo is of a great splinter of wood that had come down like an arrow and pierced the ground. Some huge trees down, including a great oak that got twisted into a dragon. #middlerunvalley #Delaware
I teach for a cancer support community. This administration’s “Big Beautiful Bill” cuts to U.S. Medicaid and Medicare coverage are already causing harm to people with cancer, and the big bite of the cuts’ effects won’t come until after this year’s midterm elections. Here are some people’s stories:
I didn’t know that the four private US nursing staff agencies were purchasing AI-generated credit card data and offering the lowest wages to nurses with the highest debt, who are the most desperate. That is despicable. www.instagram.com/reel/DbbDz__...

Just 6 or 7 years ago, this was a clear-felled Sitka plantation. NONE of these native trees were planted, they all self-seeded. And, in contrast to Sitka, this is a natural ecosystem that WON'T burn, and WILL be fantastic habitat for 1,000s of native species. Nature knows what to do, if we let it.

One of my flower paintings from the '80s, scanned from a film photo of the original which was taken through the frame glass so there are reflections. It was sold a long time ago and I wonder if it's still on someone's wall?
“Trump’s increasingly inflammatory rhetoric is itself a threat to the integrity of the 2026 election, said Georgia state senator Saira Draper, a leading voting administration expert, who warned that narrative attacks are designed to undermine outcomes, regardless of who wins.”

“In court filings, federal officials admitted that the $7.5 billion in cuts from clean energy projects begun under former president Joe Biden were “based solely” on whether states had voted for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.” @hcrichardson.bsky.social

American ticks are invading Canada including the lone star tick causing people to become allergic to red meat. These are Trump's ticks. He's not doing enough to keep them from crossing our border. Until he fixes this problem it's time for BIG tariffs on American products. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
