I'd Kaepernick the situation myself. This fascist regime is an insult to everything America stood for and I wouldn't stand to salute it either.

They know that. The science on the failure of the "war on drugs" and successful models for how to actually address substance use as effective policy has been known for some time now. They use these tactics to justify violence against the poor. Period.

I work in a crisis center in Seattle. All of my clients have substance use or mental health issues.

I have never felt fear of the people I work with or the neighborhood I work in.

This is reefer madness for blue cities. It's really, really fn dumb.

Generally the left approves of what's right, not who gets credit or blame.

Release the Epstein files. We'll apply punishment equally to anyone in there, regardless what their politics are

Meanwhile the only value that sticks on the right is "whatever gives the advantage right now".

It's like the "war on terror". It's vague enough you can use it against anyone.

We used to. We used to have a pretty good education system and were fairly competitive with the world. But the upper classes saw what an educated populace was leading to, including a greater equality and wealth and rights, and they decided to put a stop to that starting around 1980.

The government is spending our money with no regard to our desires. This is literally taxation without representation. And all of our money is just being funneled to the rich. At what point do we start withholding our federal taxes? Do we do this individually or at the state level?

We're controlled by the rich. The rich currently benefit. The right spent 40 years engineering this situation.
