One thing I’ll never understand is why the GOP rails against Biden for stopping loads of fentanyl from entering the country. Every time there’s a major bust, they treat it like it means things are going badly for the country—when in fact it means the precise opposite. They are stopping more of the bad guys. You just can’t win with the GOP spin.
@georgetakei personally I think the #WarOnDrugs needs to end including cancelling all #VictimlessCrimes, purging all convictions, freeing as well as rehabilitating and reimbursing those affrcted by it.
Eyewitnesses described widespread destruction of neighborhoods in Gaza City from the Israeli strikes. All of the Gaza Strip's borders are closed, leaving Palestinian civilians with nowhere to escape and around a tenth of Gaza's population of about 2.3 million people internally displaced seeking shelter. Gaza has been under a blockade for 16 years.
@daveystew Drug Cartels are Warlords - and whether or not they're accepted as official representation is irrelevant.
The #DrugWar could be ended any day and #victimlessCrimes could be expunged as well as #OrganizedCrime defunded - it's just that that big donors are interested in the continuation of violence...
Swedish authorities are threatening Greta Thunberg with a prison sentence — while the real criminals, the owners of the fossil fuel companies and the multinational corporations, are making 💵 millions of dollars 💵 every day by destroying the ecosphere that Greta Thunberg and others are trying to protect.
The author of this article claims to be a doctor, but lacks the facts.
However, if she took the time to delve into the research and went to the people behind these clinical trials and patients, with data in hand that is often shared in an open setting, she’d know that psychedelics have great promise in treating multiple diseases, not just mental health issues.
She is simply giving her unfounded opinion on a topic she isn't all that familiar with.
@Astro_Jmona I think all #VictimlessCrimes need to be abolished and everyome penalized for it freed and reimbursed as well as repariated - with interest!
The entire city of #Yellowknife is being evacuated. This is unprecedented and terrifying.
And thousands of citizens aren’t aware because Meta continues to block news in the country.
This is what happens when citizens are convinced to use an American multinational corporation as their community’s primary communications channel — a corporation that couldn’t give two shits about anything except its “fiduciary duty” to shareholders.
Banning GAFAMs for Espionage is as legitimate as sanctioning a North Korean Front used to launder money or going after "P.R." China's "Overseas Police" which is basically a network of foreign agents conspiring in everything from embezzlement and blackmailing to bamb threats and forced disappearances...
Personally, I just prefer chilling sober but that's my decision.
If it wasn't illegal, I'd gladly accompany people on their trips so that in case it doesn't go as nice as they thought, someone is able and willing to intervene and do the little things that make it better...
Even if that means handing them a pillow and blanket or a glass of water...
if we’ve brought back global pandemics, titanic disasters, railroad strikes, a King of England and Russian coups, we should also get to bring back the parts of the 20th century where they had cocaine in the soda and a minimum wage earner could buy a family home
@VeryBadLlama net thing you gonna demand your votes to actually count and corporate donors to be shunned upon...
#sarcasm aside, all #VictimlessCrimes including #DrugProhibitions must not only be canceled but all past convictions be annuled and people rehabilitated and paid reparations for the opression if not incarceration suffered...
