Last year there were more arrests for marijuana than for violent crime

#News420 Despite what #USAGSessions thinks, weed smokers are not bad people. Persecution of cannabis users, growers and sellers doesn’t put violent criminals in jail…in fact, often forcing the release of violent criminals via early parole to make room for more third strike pot buyers.
Trust me, there were plenty of violent criminals who could’ve better filled those cells. If our legal system wasn’t hobbled by the millions incarcerated for wanting to get high and/or make some money the government can’t steal through taxation, there would be plenty of room and funds to keep violent offenders…like rapists and murderers…off the street. No need for early parole…they can stay in for their full sentence…with money and empty jail cells to spare for their violent cohorts. #ProhibitionIsRacist #EndProhibition

“We are dying”: San Juan mayor pleads for federal help after hurricane

Trump hits back? How is it that we’re OK with the supposed President “hitting back” against citizens asking…no, begging…for help after a hurricane? This is life or death, and he is treating US Citizens like they were illegal aliens. Why? Because Puerto Ricans are basically black Mexicans as far as his racist eyes can see.

Marijuana legalization would save 50,000 lives every year, new study shows

It’s time people. The benefits are clearly outweighing the paranoia, fear and 1950s reefer madness mentality that keeps weed illegal at the Federal level. Time to legalize and embrace the positives of a world with legalized cannabis…and deal with whatever negative issues arise using common sense, science, and reason, rather than fear and propaganda.

A stinging report: Research shows climate change a major threat to bumble bees

Our yard is a bee sanctuary. We have bumblebees, ground bees, honeybees and more. Maybe we can’t change the weather. Maybe we can’t roll back climate change, but we can haz much love for all our bee friends. Maybe someday we’ll get us a hive or two…if there’s still any bees left.

The US has a vast, untapped supply of renewable energy that’s neither wind, solar, or hydropower

I’m not sure how you would capture the ‘energy of evaporation’. Water evaporates in response to solar energy being applied to it…energy is applied until the water warms enough to become a gas. If you somehow capture the energy of this process, you would be robbing energy needed to heat the water, and the water would never evaporate…and once it has evaporated, aren’t you then capturing the energy of condensation? Is the goal to prevent evaporation? Because that seems like a bad idea.
I don’t get it.

Trump Wants to Give Priority to Refugees for ‘Ability to Assimilate’

In other words, if you look different or act different, or don’t speak English well enough, “NO VISA FOR YOU!”, thanks to Trumpy The #VisaNazi.
The irony is that in a stagnating economy, bringing in DIFFERENT is the fastest way to end the stagnation and boost productivity. People who are “different” think outside of the box, because they AREN’T IN THE BOX.
Diversity is a good thing. Don’t listen to the voices of discrimination promoted by President Cheeto.
