So today @safety.bsky.app gave Saeed a lifetime ban despite going out of his way to prove his existence. I don't know what problem @jay.bsky.team has with Arabs, but if you find @bsky.app's draconian and racist targeting bad, donate and email moderation@blueskyweb.xyz.

The government shutdown may last longer because of a fight over hemp
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said he will not support speedy passage of a deal to reopen the government because of a provision that would make some THC products illegal.

Hemp regulation is a genuine issue but overnight obliteration is ludicrously bad policy. Whole lot of hemp and hemp-associated businesses will go under, this criminalizes basically every delta-8/9 product with enough in it to have a psychoactive effect.
(Those 24 Senators voted the right way.)

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.

Since the @michigandems.bsky.social thanked @peters.senate.gov and @slotkin.senate.gov for voting against this measure, then I expect @curtisherteljr.bsky.social and our Democratic Senators to call for @schumer.senate.gov's removal as Minority Leader.

Many things led to this moment but top of mind right now are blaming women for ruining the workplace & continuing to smear those who speak out against genocide.
It’s a shame because I need to be up-to-date on the news but I will not support fascism financially.

The broad vibe shift against an organization like AIPAC is good overall and indicates something serious in the underlying direction of the Democratic base but I think, and have for a long time now thought, it was always a bit too simplistic to chalk up the pro-Israel consensus *to* AIPAC et al.
