Doctors say it's possible to get hooked on pot. There's a widespread misconception that marijuana is not addictive, and it's expanded as a growing number of states legalize pot.

Bloody he**! So the US is back to seeking to “hold the moral high ground”. It is to laugh. “Pro-life” while treating entire communities like dirt, and killing anyone they’ve trapped in jail.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

The Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas and nooses as hate symbols.
This action, coupled with the President's call to hang Democratic members of Congress - both in the past few hrs - are more than "potentially divisive."
They are vile, unconscionable, and dangerous.

When Trump was asked about the release of the Epstein files, he called one reporter "piggy" and said another was "being insubordinate."
When Trump saw a video calling on the military to follow the constitution, he called for the death of the Democrats who made the video.
He's a tyrant.

Nobody’s Girl by the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre is a tough but important read. It has me reflecting on resilience and the power of speaking hard truths. It's a reminder of how many stories stay in the shadows and how much strength & courage it takes to bring them into the light

This is basically making it so trans people who were adopted and had their birth records sealed cannot obtain a passport at all. This will also ensnare cis people who were adopted and have clerical errors on their records or are suspected of being trans.
