This is what legalization and regulation is all about; making sure the recreational narcotics are what they are supposed to be.

If all drug, yes ALL, were sold like this so much would be better.

Additionally, the Air Force revealed that General David Allvin, the chief of staff, would retire early, after serving just two years of his four-year term.

This comes shortly after Hegseth suggested any general who disagrees with him should resign.

Every life in Gaza has the same value as someone killed in the West.

There are at least 50-100 people being murdered in Gaza every single day, and this is almost exactly 2 years.

Canada’s climate contradictions come with economic risks Overinvesting in oil and gas is not just a problem for the climate β€” it also poses serious risks to the Canadian economy.

Up to 66 per cent of future capital investment in Canadian oil and gas projects (2025–2040) is at risk of becoming stranded, writes Nichole Dusyk www.nationalobserver.com/2025/10/03/o...

DHS denies using child as 'bait'; Family shares video of incident Video shows federal immigration agents surrounding a child outside a Massachusetts home while the family said agents were trying to draw her father outside.

A mother says that her autistic 5-year-old was left "scared and afraid" after ICE agents surrounded the child last week, keeping her separated from her family, allegedly in order to detain her father.

That is definitely not the job of a PM. That isn’t even possible for anyone to do in any job.

His job is to do what’s best for the country. That should lead them to prioritize the needs of the people. But we all know that isn’t what happens.

True, many people still think if it’s not on traditional media, it's not even happening, for example

πŸ’₯ a genocide in Palestine, and

πŸ“Ί their traditional media being a propaganda machine.

Megachurch founder and Trump ally Robert Morris pleads guilty to child sex abuse After a plea deal, the evangelical preacher will spend six months in jail and register as a sex offender

Robert Morris, the founder of Gateway Church in Texas, says trans people are a threat to children.

He helped Trump get elected.

He prayed over Trump in the White House.

And he just pleaded guilty to five counts of β€œlewd or indecent acts to a child.”

This is not a moment to abandon principles and morals.

Human rights are worth fighting for.
Democracy is worth fighting for.

People need housing, healthcare, education, and the ability to live a good life. That’s not controversial.

Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post, and the Cost of Speaking Out As Saudi Arabia hosts comedians and courts gamers, the silenced voice of Jamal Khashoggi still echoes.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.

They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.

But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.

RIP, Jamal.

The learning and growth I’ve experienced by listening to and observing marginalized folks over the past decade or so has been one of the best learning experiences of my life. White folks need to stop believing the lie that we know better.

Whiteness got us here. It won’t save us.

"This desire to meet the hard right halfway, to find a middle point, is hopelessly exploitable. In an age of radicalisation you get pulled further & further to the right, while tacitly validating those values at every step. Nowhere is this more evident than in the UK media fixation on trans people."
