After some deep introspection, my answer is Yes.

Abolish DHS. Abolish DEA.

Turns out Orwellian security systems are too easy to abuse.

This can’t be repeated enough.

People are shot every day in this country and nobody even knows about it. When a right-wing provocateur is treated like some great national tragedy while liberal politicians get shot and it doesn’t even make the headlines, something is very wrong with the country.

Nothing really to add, but the people lionizing him fucking hate you & have been wanting a civil war since… the last civil war. The media’s coverage really exposes how well the right-wing captured it & how badly the left dropped the ball.

This video summed it up pretty well.

Americans would sooner chew their legs off than accept that public transportation is good.

We’ve been conditioned to do what’s best for the owning class (at the expense of the working class) for so long that I don’t know if we’ll ever see class solidarity without bankruptcy or a Greater Depression.

In the case of the current regime, where population centers are being debased, I partially agree. The problem in the case of coordinated multi-regional is w/logistics & keeping on message.

I bunk massive organic protests carry more weight than handfuls of smaller ones.

Either way we need transit.

I don’t think that frames it well. The US is an empty wasteland with a few populous regions (why the senate/electoral college should be abolished; land != people). You’d want to compare metropolitan areas rather than treating the whole country as a singular block.

They’re looking mighty delicious these days. We should make a cookbook.

You simply have to look at SUD to see that junk-science in action. This is how and why NIDA gets away with keeping drug research as negatively charged as it is.

A positive side effect of Trump may be the death of NIDA. He knows the drug war is wrong. He doesn’t care.

The US will never be able to compete with Europe’s mass-protests, by design. I can’t help but think part of the reason we’ve so thoroughly rejected public transportation in 🇺🇸 is to limit large displays of dissidence.

At least that’s how it works in effect.

The Swiss rail system is unbelievably good.

Prohibition is hopeless.

Blue states love & support Nixon’s drug war as much as red states do. Remember, the drug war’s entire purpose was to mass-incarcerate the poor and the melanated. They caused millions to die in an overdose crisis but they keep trucking along like “fentanyl did it”. There was never an “opioid crisis”.

There’s no data on your “20% reduction in brain volume” claim.

Nearly every “scientific study” wrt illicit drugs is funded by a biased agency whose sole purpose is to prevent drug use. There’s barely any objective/unbiased drug research.

NIDA is a state propaganda agency wearing a lab coat.

I wouldn’t. She’s spreading nonsense like seemingly every outspoken person in the recovery community.

Pure made-up nonsense.

Important parts of the brain do decrease by up to 90% due to #recovery cult programming, particularly the empathy and skepticism centers.

Cite your sources. Stop making things up & spreading harmful disinformation.

It would be ideologically compatible with Trump’s (correct) earlier statements. Unfortunately Trump has no ideological standards and he’s gone full drug-warrior despite knowing that the war on drugs has killed millions and ruins the lives of tens of millions. For no good reason.

How long have you been on it?

Sorry to jump into your medicine cabinet, but I’m really worried about where this is all going. RFK wants to put us to work on addiction farms.

Made me think of Aphex Twin.
