Ok, signing off for ... not quite sure how long.
Leaving tomorrow on a long planned, much anticipated vacation and it feels like the moment to take a social media break.

I strongly recommend following Columbia Spectator coverage too, and not just because I'm a former Speccie. Their coverage has been tremendous throughout this.

As I've been saying, Democrats are the party of marijuana, mifepristone, marriage equality, (and let's add Medicaid expansion) ... and it's a popular agenda
The Drug Enforcement Administration will move to loosen restrictions on marijuana in what would be a historic shift in federal drug policy, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.
DEA plans to reclassify marijuana as a lower-risk drug, officials say
The measure, if enacted, does not instantly legalize marijuana at the federal level but could broaden access to the drug for medicinal use.

The first Trump presidency was merely a dress rehearsal for all the bad shit they want to do. Now they know where all the levers of power are, and that there won't be any legislative or judicial brakes to slow the assault.

I feel like "We don't need to be teaching science" is one of those clarifying quotes that explains why no person with any pretensions to normality should ever vote Republican.
MAGA, what is the right age to tell your kids that science exists?
NC Lt. Governor Mark Robinson is a voting member of the State Board of Education and the GOP’s candidate to be our next governor.
He wants North Carolina’s elementary schools to stop teaching science and history to children.
This is the modern Republican Party.

An important point for all the pearl clutchers acting like we're in unprecedented times:
According to the Columbia wiki, Hamilton Hall was blockaded or taken over by protesters in 1968, 1969, 1972, 1985, 1987, 1992, and 1996.

Since writing this article, I have received messages from angry men, calling me names, telling I’m wrong, & that I’d be begging a man to save me if I was lost in the woods. To recap, there are men are sending me abusive emails to prove they are the safe choice.
