I’m a hardworking, taxpaying, churchgoing, grandkid-raising American citizen. And if I work all day long and want to go home, smoke a joint & just stare at the fireplace for 3 hours…that’s my civil liberty. ‪ @sarapayan.bsky.social‬ reports on my mission to end America's prohibition on marijuana:

Anti-ICE protesters in Austin, who as far as I can tell were mostly just standing on the steps and sidewalk in front of the JJ Pickle federal building, have been dispersed with tear gas and flash bangs.

With the $45 million being spent on the president's parade here’s what that money could do for veterans instead: House 3k veterans for an entire year in transitional housing Provide full PTSD treatment for 3.75k veterans for a year Deliver job training to 9k veterans through 12-week programs

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.

New blooms. Plains coreopsis and zinnia.

Small wildflower. Red in the center with many small yellow petals.

Pink zinnia. Bright pink petals on a single zinnia bloom.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

If we still had a White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, they’d be in Tallahassee helping the community access federal resources for survivors, families, & students. Then they’d take what was learned to help prevent it from ever happening again. Trump killed it on day 2.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

What were the 7 key major causes of the Great Depression? Do you see any of them happening now? The Great Depression, which began in 1929 and lasted through the 1930s, was caused by a combination of structural weaknesses in the economy, policy failures, and global financial interconnections. 👇

If we're locking people up in Salvadorian prisons because of their tattoos, can we at least start with Hegseth? I mean, he's got a fucking Nazi tattoo. Find me a gang anywhere in the world that caused more pain than the Nazis.

Some federal workers are going back to work. The USDA has been ordered to temporarily give over 5,000 workers their jobs back. Dozens of CDC scientists have been reinstated after being illegally fired. The National Science Foundation has rehired half of the workers it fired.
