Telling that the smallest harm reduction approach requires unending studies but the government can expand an unproven approach targeting the province’s most vulnerable without any arms length evaluation

The decisive factor in any coup, rebellion, revolution: What do the ones with the guns say?
Jessica Kant@jessdkant.bsky.social · last mo.People who are unfamiliar with the UCMJ may not realize that for an active duty major to do this in uniform, the consequence can be court martial and incarceration. All of it is prohibited, but the wearing of the uniform was an intentional choice, and a likely forfeit of both his career and freedom.

Kratom is an entheogen under active research to discern its possible medical applications, not just a “gas station drug.” It should be legalized and regulated so people like Mullin have no role in its production, distribution, and sale
Ken Vogel@kenvogel.bsky.social · 2mo agoSCOOP from @by-cjewett.bsky.social & me: Markwayne Mullin urged the Department of Health and Human Service to remove warnings from the FDA website about the health risks of the gas station drug kratom. Mullin owns equity in a leading kratom company called Botanic Tonics that could have benefited.
In Canada, also less mentioned how leading suffragettes (e.g., Emily “Janet Canuck” Murphy) were white supremacists who supported drug prohibition, immigration bans and sterilization
Mallory Moore@sexabolition.blog · 2mo agoIn fairness, the historical memory of the Suffragettes that's been actively maintained by liberal feminists has erased all the arson, bombing and suicide protest attacks in favour of loads of twee bullshit about votes for women sashes and glorifying simultaneously Emeline Pankhurst and Nancy Astor..
Restating my assertion that these concentration camps are the sites of active outbreaks of HIV because ICE is not providing HIV meds to the people they have kidnapped
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 2mo agoToday's Government Accountability Office report on ICE's Camp East Montana is scandalous: - Evidence of a homicide was destroyed or went missing - Detainees with HIV and diabetes were not given treatment plans - Cells were filthy and only cleaned weekly - A guard lost a loaded gun in the facility
And the cherries on top: the events are inaccessible to all but the 1% here in BC. Meanwhile, the gangsters in FIFA won‘t even let local businesses (including the university!) use the phrase “World Cup”
Andrew Longhurst 🇨🇦 🍉@alonghurst.bsky.social · 2mo agoI still can’t believe governments allowed such a significant transfer of wealth from the public to FIFA. At a time when our care economy needs investment (BC cancelled multiple care home projects, but can find hundreds of millions for FIFA)
Science has nothing to do with it; it is politics, or, the value they have placed on some lives

Popehat@kenwhite.bsky.social · 2mo agoIf you go out, go out like a Scott Pelly, not like a John Cornyn. Fight evil, fight corruption, fight vapid anti-anti-Trumpism, fight the trash people ruining the country and the culture. But hey, congrats to Nick Bilton. I assume he’ll now get an invite to speak at that big FIRE conference.
Quoting all this dumbass racist bullshit ("And then there’s this other dark belly of non-community members who are coming into our town with weapons") and amplifying the age-old rumours that people are being bused in from Vancouver (wasn't true in 2010, isn't true now) is journalistic malpractice
CHEK News@cheknews.ca · 2mo agoThere is a growing influx of homeless people on Duncan and North Cowichan streets this spring. It's raising concerns and fuelling speculation that Vancouver is bussing unhoused people out of the city and over to Vancouver Island ahead of the FIFA World Cup.
Not at all problematic that a local university is giving up a big chunk of its athletic infrastructure to Team Canada and other teams at the World Cup and the uni even use "FIFA" or "World Cup" in its communications about the event. All hail the the "global soccer tournament" soccer2026.ubc.ca
