This is a bill to concentrate both political and market power in Massachusetts cannabis and pave the way for it to become a billionaire-controlled industry. It doesn't happen because it's inevitable, it happens slowly and over time because of intentional policy choices like this bill.

Mass. House passes bill overhauling cannabis laws, Cannabis Control Commission
The House approved a significant overhaul of marijuana oversight in Massachusetts on Wednesday, passing a bill that would downsize and reorient the scandal-hounded Cannabis Control Commission that has kept tabs on the legal industry since it launched almost eight years ago.

Can someone explain why there's no developmental support for kids 3-5 years old?
Seems weird to offer early intervention from 1.5-3 & special ed in starting in kindergarten but leave kids & parents on their own for 2 formative yrs.

I hope more people of all backgrounds and politics come here and wouldn't mind some debating and arguing in addition to all the positive and personal stuff people share and discuss.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Was there today for the H.R. 9495 vote (bill that would have allowed labeling nonprofits as terrorist supporting organizations).
Voted no, of course - but I do want to report that the activism DID work and persuaded members.
I thought it’d be a lonely NO vote, which we take often. It wasn’t.

Just heard someone on NPR say that the fact that Gaetz was appointed is a sign of how few loyalists Trump has.
Not sure if I buy it, but that's the kind of copium I'm looking for this Monday morning.

if you’re having trouble summoning a wellspring of hope, try doing it to spite them
Defeatist attitudes are best kept to yourself, don't do the leg work for the enemy.
