Recovering clinical researcher (determining via science if a drug/device helps people) who loves dogs and is aghast at the USA slide into authoritarianism. Huge fan of the 1st Amendment.
Heck yeah. Stop funding this unconstitutional federal regime.

If we could use nullification for people to get high, why can’t we use it to protect human rights and stop fascism?

The GOP isn’t debating Reagan vs. Trump anymore. That battle is over. Now the divide is darker—between controlled authoritarian power and a party willing to welcome open fascists into the room. The GOP is still strong, but cracks are forming.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The vast majority of Americans did not vote for the criminal sludge known as trump, yet we stand by as his regime tears the nation apart. Sniveling ghouls like Stephen Miller target terrified children—dragged from beds and zip-tied in the dark—while America watches in shame.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.
