The academic Jewish Studies world really needs to reckon more with the fact that, even as the humanities as a whole is getting gutted, the Trump administration is funding a parallel right-wing Jewish Studies cohort to produce ahistorical cases for "Judeo-Christian" civilization.

The article doesn't detail what percentage of teen weed smokers developed these mental illnesses, just that they were "twice as likely" as non smokers. 0.05% is twice that of 0.025% but neither anyone would see as that high

It seems the study accounted for that by removing any teens who had already been diagnosed with mental illnesses before using weed. Its not a perfect correction, bur it does denote a causal link.
Either way it still seems like a very small percentage of users develop these issues

Authoritarianism from Below | Stuart Schrader
As National Guard troops and federal officers swarmed Washington, D.C., in August, sent by President Donald Trump to confront what he declared a βcrime
"Another advantage of the federal invasions is less obvious: to some cops and the unions that represent them, this season of repression promises to extinguish the expectation that police might have to answer to the locally elected officials who allocate their budgets and authorize their mission."

Going off of Democracy or "rule of the common people" I thought I would start there with ancient Greek. The Thetes were the class of quasi wage earners or artisans too poor to qualify to stand for office in ancient Athens, so Thetesocracy"? Sounds too much like Theocracy.
