Folks! Here is the CBD/Hemp list 👇

BUT - read this backwards. I think. If you Senator is NOT on this list, go yell at them.
The shutdown deal includes a ban on hemp products that none of its negotiators debated in public.

Disappointing that only 24 senators voted against killing an amendment to strike that ban.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

The U.S. military is being used inside the United States. There's a lot we don't know about how, why, and under what authorities.

Today, Lawfare is launching a new project–which includes a tracker and a map–to follow where and how the military is being domestically deployed.

Resources like Scarleteen are under attack right now thanks to a hostile, censorious, puritan government. And, as illustrated last night, health care precarity in the US is a really big problem. Health educators deserve health care!
It's that time of year again: @scarleteen.com is holding their annual fundraiser to support inclusive, comprehensive, loving sex ed, and this year, they're raising money for health benefits for paid staff. I set a goal of $500 for my personal fundraiser, but please help me get way over the top!

W/alt. Also, I’m so freaking furious… I’m not gonna be tricked into arguing that insurance is good actually, but if these geniuses talk themselves round into affordable single payer healthcare and eliminating the insurance industry… I guess I can be glad it got there, even if it got there stupidly.

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF!

Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!
Talking Oglaf with Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne: 'We'd stay up all night drawing stuff to make each other laugh' - The Comics Journal
Other than some time off every year for Christmas, Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne have delivered a new Oglaf comic, skewering fantasy tropes with absolutely not safe for work humor, every week since 2008...

I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently.

In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?”

And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.

“With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more/than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty…”
SS Edmund Fitzgerald had a structural defect in its keel. Sailors on that ship had complained about the ship bending and flexing during storms, especially when it was overloaded, which it usually was. They had also found old keel weld breaks due to structural fatigue, which were never repaired

TIL the tale of the Edmund Fitzgerald is one of corporate malfeasance and worker endangerment.

I’m serious about this— I talk about this podcast a lot, but was listening to this ep yesterday and its a lesson that is deeply and profoundly important. Time keeps moving forward and there’s always something new and important to react to, to fix, to address. There are no breaks.
They should listen to episode 10.100 of Mike Duncan’s Revolutions Podcast to learn when that mythical moment will happen (spoiler, it won’t).
no matter what the circumstances, democrats are always saving their energy for a mythical future situation where they will do something good
