Maryland legalization of recreational marijuana comes into effect today, accompanied by record expungement. That's kinda notable.

Drusas ,

Nice to have more positive changes!

Not advocating for it but we don't need to be locking people up or scarring them for life over that stuff.

What, no period talk until 6th grade? Did no one tell them the average age of menarche has been declining for a while, and it's not unusual for 9-10 year olds to start menstruating? If anything they should be covering it for even younger kids than before.

Bluskale ,

That’s certainly one of the dumbest culture war legislations in recent history… I don’t even see any particular ideological justification for this either.

Also for Virginia: All Delta products or hemp based THC products are no loner legal

Arm yourselves and organize. Politicians aren't going to bite the hand that feeds them.

Can anyone explain to me how guns will help if the national guard is at your door? Or the military? Do people really think that they could go to war against the United States because the US government becomes overrun by fascists?

At worst you'll be labeled a terrorist and immediately murdered. Even if you ignore the military, brandishing a gun Infront of a cop is a death sentence (if you aren't white).

The black panthers are really the best example of the (few) benefits and many costs of armed community defense. It's much worse now, too.

Right blames something on Soros: lol one man doesn’t have that much power

But this dude is totally pulling all the strings of the government, the king of dark money, got it

Remember bribing Supreme Court Justices is exactly like literacy programs and organizing to expand voting rights.

chaogomu ,

The left doesn't say that one man doesn't have the power to pull strings, the left says that there's no evidence of Soros doing it.

A subtle distinction, but an important one.

Leonard Leo literally hand-picked every judge that Donald Trump appointed, all 234 of them, including 3 supreme court justices.

Leo then paid for nonsense cases to be filed in jurisdictions with friendly (read his own hand-picked) judges. These cases were all based on lies. Because it never mattered if there was any truth to them. They then get kicked up the chain to Leo's hand-picked supreme court, where the justices rule how Leo wanted from the beginning. Well, 3 hand-picked, and 1 bribed, all that's needed from there is to get Alito to fall in line, and that man has Fox News brain so bad that it's scary.

And that's how one man can shape the law in any way he wants, even if congress and the presidency are controlled by Democrats

bedrooms ,

You don't have to say it's subtle. It's far from that to people who can read.

sensibilidades ,

That's a nice straw man you made there. Unless, of course, you're specifically aware of anyone in this thread making that argument.

BurnTheRight , in Man cited in Supreme Court LGBTQ rights case says he was never involved

Strange. It's almost like conservatives are liars who delight in the oppression of others.

Conservatism is a plague of deception, bigotry and oppression. It always has been.

Col3814444 , in Man cited in Supreme Court LGBTQ rights case says he was never involved

This is fucking bullshit, conservatives are openly cheating the system, be it voting or court decisions. Shit like this will 100% destroy a country,

scaredoftrumpwinning ,

I would like to know if now anyone that adds to or creates things can actively not sell to someone with a prolife hat, maga hat or someone else that identifies themselves as a trumpy grumpy.

I personally don’t fall in this category but if this is true we need to spread the word for anyone that can afford to do this.

Col3814444 ,

Do you have a strongly held personal belief? Go for it.

rayyyy , in Prosecutors In Rep. George Santos’ Case Turn In Over 80,000 Pages Of Evidence Against Him

You can see why the Republicans cherish this guy.

Hairyblue , in Man cited in Supreme Court LGBTQ rights case says he was never involved
@Hairyblue@kbin.social avatar

The Christian web designer who says she was harmed by a gay couple asking her to do a webpage for their wedding was LYING. This Christian took a case to the Supreme Court claiming she was harmed by the gays but she was LYING. And the Christians on the court ruled to cause harm to the LGBTQ community by allowing their bigotry to be legal.

keeb420 ,

thats what i dont get about this whole thing. i thought in order to bring a case you had to have standing and courts would examine if your case was legit. how did it even get this far? wtf? i hate this country sometimes.

Drusas ,

The liberal justices' first criticism of the decision was that the court shouldn't have heard the case at all because the plaintiff didn't have standing.

So yeah.

They didn't even have a business, they just made it up for the lawsuit. Check out any of their "work" and you will be laughing
