Millions of Americans use weed to treat chronic pain, but there's little high quality research on whether it works. New findings suggest it can be effective for low back pain, on par with opioids.

I saw a joke about an unhoused neighbor using one of my signs as a mattress. That’s not funny — it’s a reminder we have work to do. Let’s lead with compassion and action.

ICE arrested a Chicago father whose 16-year-old daughter has Stage 4 cancer. It’s spread to her bones, and she’s undergoing aggressive treatment to try to save her life. They don’t know if she’s going to make it—and all she wants is her dad back. This is cruel, and it’s not making anyone safer.

Yesterday two Trump-appointed judges lifted a stay on Trump sending the National Guard into Democratic cities, and today Coons, Durbin, Fetterman, Hassan, Heinrich, Kaine, Kelly, Klobuchar, Reed, Schiff, Shaheen, Welch, and Whitehouse are giving him yet ANOTHER appointment. Totally fucking useless!

Lyft contributed $10,000 to All of Mpls. Omar Fateh was sponsor of bill securing statewide living wage for Uber and Lyft drivers, which both companies fought, even threatening to leave Minneapolis if it passed. It did pass, neither have left the city, but they fear Mayor Fateh

Under Over Over - West Hampstead

So it's taken a while, but I've finally found a location where you can clearly see London Underground trains traveling over London Overground trains.

The vantage point is at West Hampstead Overground station at the end of the platform.
