The thing is while different addictions have different negative impacts on society every knows and agrees that to reduce the rates of addiction you have to cut down advertising, promotion & availability of the product.

This is why cigarette ads & sponsorships were banned here.

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

Trump: "You hear those sirens going off? That's good. A good sound. That means they either got the bad guy or they're gonna stop the bad guy. You didn't hear that sound bc nobody wanted to do anything. Listen to the beauty of that sound. That's the real deal sirens, not politically correct sirens"

I believe that China purposefully not buying our Soybeans, and causing difficulty for our Soybean Farmers, is an Economically Hostile Act. We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution. As an example, we can easily produce Cooking Oil ourselves, we don't need to purchase it from China.

I saw something recently that said a strategy for adhd is you just need to commit to doing 30%. The full scope of 100% of a project is just too overwhelming. So just start with some thumbnails or sketches for now and then commit to another 30% another day or week. Any progress IS progress

Clergy member shot w/a pepper ball by a federal agent outside of an ICE facility says that showing up for immigrants “is an act of solidarity and a deep desire for those who are inside the facility to know that they are not alone.” New at @americasvoice.bsky.social:

Clergy Member Shot With Pepper Ball Outside ICE Facility Says He Could Hear Agents ‘Laughing’

Rev. David Black, who has since joined a lawsuit against the administration “alleging violations of the First and Fourth Amendments,” says he protests to let immigrants know “that they are not alone."

Trump said he'd focus on the “worst of the worst," but he's mostly focused on people like Melissa Tran — a MD business owner who's lived here 30 yrs and is a fixture of her community.

Cruel.

I salute all who fought for her release. After months in ICE detention, she's finally home.

I'm generalizing, but why do conservatives remember political irritations for so much longer than liberals?

It's been 17 years since Obama said some voters "cling to their guns, to their religion" and I heard a senator denounce that last month.
