Vivian McPeak, Debby Goldsberry & Chris Bennett Powerful, tragic and funny as hell.  Please share.

Becker's Questions:  The tactics and procedures of the drug war are now used in every police encounter, all growing from the racism of drug war. What we have before us is a war on reality, utilizing racism as the alternate fact to legitimize the abomination the MAGA team retches forth. Maybe folks don't think they are racists, but if they don't mind voting for racists, then they are racist. The Confederacy is indeed rising again.

Donald Trump has a criminal brain, a defective brain. He's an Orange faced Kool Aid salesman. Much like the Frankenstein monster. Trump cares not for the American people, a fact he stated out loud a few days ago. Trump is mass murdering ghoul who cares only for the gold he can hoard away for him and his family along with his inept cabinet of ball suckers and corporate whores.

The Chevron decision: Judge decides Justice. WHERE ARE THE EPSTEIN FILES?

4:20 Drug War News

The 90 minute premiere of CLAIMING THE MORAL HIGH GROUND - A Global Indictment of the War on Drugs video features 19 government officials and high level experts from around the world, all greatly desirous of being a part of this "indictment'. These experts describe in great detail the misery, the ineptitude, the corruption and the myriad horrors we inflict on ourselves and the whole world by continuing to believe in the policy of drug prohibition. Thankfully they also provide the simple solution, first to decriminalize to prove a point and then ASAP to legalize, regulate and actually control these now ludicrously named "controlled substances".
