I wanted Steve Sweeney gone for so long, and he was bad, but Nick Scutari is somehow far worse.
With some of the highest cannabis prices in the country and dispensaries in only 30% of towns, critics say the proposed penalties will hurt New Jersey consumers.

Despite the steady drizzle, we were nearly 500 strong as we celebrated our nation's democracy on a very historic corner in Rahway. Flag and signs were brought out on the very spot once visited by our first president, who also declared #NoKings, en route to his inauguration in New York.

For the sake of your long-term health and that of others, please keep in mind that the New York Times has “safewashed” COVID the same way they’ve “sanewashed” Trump. Same outlet, different lies (often lies of omission).
I count 49 news headlines on the NYT mobile app home page right now, not including opinion, sports or cooking. None of them are about the massive protests yesterday.

Thank you to everyone who took to the streets for No Kings today.
Who said “no” to fascism. To hatred. To bigotry. To policies rooted in division and cruelty.
To my fellow disabled people who couldn’t attend in person, please don’t feel guilty.
There’s plenty of ways we can help the fight!
