Apparently it’s a crime to remind military members to follow the law and refuse illegal orders (something that it is ingrained in basic) and the pentagon can recall you into the service to discipline you. However, the pentagon will not prosecute you for dodging the draft five times.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Hidden in the U.S. Senate bill to end the government shutdown is a provision that would ban hemp-derived products like THCA, delta-8, HHC, THCV and CBD nationwide.
In WI, this means 100s of small businesses, 1000s of jobs, and millions of dollars of economic activity are at risk of disappearing.
