I’ve been encouraged to engage more socially, hence my arrival here. It may be useful to widen a few circles—carefully, of course. People reveal more of themselves in ordinary conversation than they realize.

🧵I have neither a moral nor medical opinion on cannabis.
My personal position, as with most matters, is about choice. I fully endorse the choice. For any reason.
However, politically and sociologically, I note that we were perhaps too quick to celebrate state decriminalization of cannabis. Why?

Any time lawmakers and governments seemingly yield with one hand, they are preparing to strike with the other.
While those in power allow the population to seek comfort or relief in THC, they have emptied the coffers.
Vape shops and dispensaries are in every town, typically in the poorer areas...

...wherein reside those most disenfranchised populations. Now they may anesthetize with products from ABC store or Cannabis store.
We were delighted government "gifted us this freedom."
So delighted we allowed Trump to be elected, Elon to edge closer to being a billionaire.

The single best way I know to feel great at Christmas or any other time is to do something for someone else. A loved one or a total stranger. It gets you out of the prison of self and into the world around you. Happy Holidays.

Donald Trump would absolutely throw every billionaire and "high-status" perp in the Epstein files under the bus if he thought it would distance him from the Epstein issue.
So we can't let them make the story be "Trump knew what was happening and kept silent."
It needs to remain "TRUMP RAPED KIDS."

We all stand in firm agreement that America under Trump is a problem for the US and the world.
This is a useful platform for that variety of dialog.
However, this platform will not endure on anti-Trump commentary alone. Accounts like the one below provide a bit of color.

Bari Bonds, former MLB slugger, was the subject of squabbles about steroid over-use.
Yes, his weigh-in got very suspicious over the years.
Conservative estimates of his over-use were that the over-use was not one bit conservative, in fact liberal.

Zuckerburg is paying only $190M to settle an $8B lawsuit by FB shareholders for the Cambridge Analytica crime.
$8B would’ve been 3% of his net worth, and $190M is .08%. ~$75 for ordinary working people.
