Bart Schaneman, Marijuana Business Daily - 6 hours ago
The Oregon Liquor Control Commission, which regulates marijuana in the state, took its first step toward adopting rules that would ban non-cannabis additives from inhalable products containing THC, though MJ-derived terpenes will be allowed. Although much of the evidence for the vaping illness outbreak that began in the summer of 2019 points to illicit-market products, […] Oregon mulls banning additives in marijuana vaping products is a post from: Marijuana Business Daily: Financial, Legal & Cannabusiness news for cannabis entrepreneurs

Do Not Belittle US Protesters By Calling Their Uprising A Color Revolution
Kevin Zeese, PopularResistance.Org - 7 hours ago
Those who are promoting the term Color Revolution are actually confusing the situation. During the last years and decades, the West has been using many different tactics on how to overthrow governments, subvert legitimate movements and revolutions, and deter revolutionary and anti-colonialist struggle. Each has to be examined and exposed separately, individually. Otherwise, it would create indigestible, on purpose confusing mass, and further damage independence struggle. Otherwise, nihilism would be spread, and revolutionary zeal deterred. The protesters should be discouraged, let ...
Atlanta Jail Task Force Recommends Razing Building, Creating Equity Center
Kevin Zeese, PopularResistance.Org - 7 hours ago
Nearly a year after its creation, the Atlanta City Jail task force has recommended closing the jail, demolishing the building and replacing it with a Center for Equity that would support Atlantans’ needs. The 26-page report was delivered to Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms on June 12, giving suggestions on how the city can change the institution and convert it into a space to serve Atlanta residents, particularly those from communities most affected by the criminal justice system. The report described a center “that will advance racial and economic equity, promote restorative ju...
Court Refuses To Block Information On Who Police Targeted In Social Media
Kevin Zeese, PopularResistance.Org - 7 hours ago
Massachusetts’s highest court will not block the disclosure of police reports that could show the Boston police department has targeted Black and Latinx men for surveillance on social media. Boston attorney Josh Raisler Cohn, who represents a man charged with several gun violations, began seeking the police reports in November 2018 to determine if the police have surreptitiously used the social media service, Snapchat, to target people of color. Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins appealed Ullmann’s order, but her office’s petition was denied. After an unsuccessful a...

A concerned parent, a white Slate reader, *seeks counsel from the woke hive mind:* "My sons have graduated, and their closest friends are still a mix of black, Hispanic, and white kids.

However, inevitably, the sky soon begins to cloud: "But one of our sons mentioned recently how irritated he is by the form he has to fill out regarding a college roommate. He has to specify his race, and all of the profiles of potential roommates he views also include race. He says all he cares about is if th...
You’ve Got Money: Mobile Payments Help People During the Pandemic
Jun 22 (IPS) - The practical challenge of quickly getting financial support in the hands of people who lost jobs amid the COVID-19 economic crisis has baffled advanced and developing economies alike. Economic lockdowns, physical distancing measures, patchy social protection systems and, especially for low-income countries, the high level of informality, complicate the task. Many governments are leveraging mobile technology to help their citizens. Read the full story, “You’ve Got Money: Mobile Payments Help People During the Pandemic”, on globalissues.org →
Children in Out-of-Home Care: Lessons from the Pandemic
LONDON, Jun 22 (IPS) - As the world continues to struggle with the Covid-19 pandemic, the situation in institutions like prisons or care homes has shown how quickly overcrowded facilities can become a breeding ground for an infectious disease. But what about other congregate facilities like residential institutions for children, such as orphanages? What risks do they face? And how should governments be responding during - and after - this pandemic? Read the full story, “Children in Out-of-Home Care: Lessons from the Pandemic”, on globalissues.org →

The Transformation of Societies on the Occasion of Covid-19 Heralds the Militarization of Europe
Noor al Haqiqa, SNIPPITS AND SNAPPITS - 6 hours ago
By Thierry Meyssan We reproduce a discussion between Thierry Meyssan and a group of students. He explains that the political responses to Covid-19 have no medical purpose. A partially identifiable transnational group seized the opportunity provided by the epidemic to try to impose a profound transformation of European societies, just as it had used the attacks of 11 September 2001 to transform the United States. There is still time to oppose the hierarchisation of the world to come. Voltaire Network May 12, 2020 *Question: Who do you think manufactured Covid-19?* *Thierry M...

Measles Has Been With Us For At Least 8,000 Years - And Cities May Be Why
News Staff, Science 2.0 blogs - 8 hours ago
Environmental groups believe that living in cities is better for the environment but if there is one thing that COVID-19 has made clear, it's that living in cities is better for spreading infectious disease also. Despite having numerous large cities, the U.S. was on the verge of having measles wiped out, but as the anti-vaccine movement spread on the east and west coasts, they brought a resurgence of it. A group of researchers looked for its origins and found it may help provide answers about coronavirus, which is in the same family as the common cold but was discovered to be novel...
Other Planets With Oceans Are Common
News Staff, Science 2.0 blogs - 8 hours ago
Though we've only detected a few thousand exoplanets, there are likely 6,000,000,000 Earth-like ones out there, and that means millions could be "ocean worlds" capable of supporting life. Right now, our knowledge of ocean worlds is limited to moons like Enceladus around Saturn and Europa around Jupiter. Plumes of water erupt from Europa and Enceladus, so we can tell that these bodies have subsurface oceans beneath their ice shells, and they have energy that drives the plumes, which are two requirements for life as we know it read more

Solidarity with striking BIW workers!

Independent candidate for US Senate in Maine (Ranked Choice Voting election) Lisa Savage wrote early this morning: I was at Bath Iron Works this morning to show solidarity with workers from BIW's biggest union, S6, who voted 87 percent to strike for a fair contract. BIW is owned by General Dynamics whose CEO made $17,828,591 in 2019. Think they can afford to take care of the workers, too?

In what has already become a parody of a shrinking empire’s habit of clutching at the vestiges of its Cold-War era mistakes, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) and fellow war-hungry reactionaries in the United States Senate, Rick Scott (R-FL) and Ted Cruz ((R-TX) have put a bill on the Senate floor meant to undercut Cuba’s medical missions program, which sends trained medics all around the developing world to assist in general healthcare services and emergencies in more than 60 countries.

The Secret Reason Billionaires Love A Pandemic
Kevin Zeese, PopularResistance.Org - 7 hours ago
Most billionaires don’t work harder, don’t think harder, and don’t know more. They have nothing over your average person except: a) luck b) sometimes inheriting a fortune and c) being more sociopathic. So I guess you could say they’re extraordinary on the sociopathy front. They are more willing to crush other humans to get what they want and thereby they are more able to get what they want. Billionaires in the U.S. have seen their fortunes skyrocket, increasing by 12.5 percent since the pandemic began. The Institute for Policy Studies released a study “showing that, in the eight w...
How Racism Complicates Black Parenting
Cynthia Okpokiri, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Cynthia Okpokiri* *Society, * Black parents’ burden of nurturing their children through the sufferings of racism is barely acknowledged. Racism is an all-encompassing factor in Black people’s lives. Experiences of racism can start very early in childhood, so Black parents have to manage their children’s encounters with racism. In the UK, Black children have higher rates of school exclusion and expulsion. They are over-represented in child protection interventions, such as referrals and investigations. My research with Black African parents in Britain demonstrates the deep and ...
How Gangs and Drug Dealers Adapted to the Pandemic Reality
Simon Harding, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Simon Harding* *Society, * Demand for drugs did not disappear in lockdown. As lockdown loomed, most people rushed to buy toilet paper and paracetamol, openly voicing fears of falling ill. But “ill” for addicted drug users has a different meaning. It means to suffer withdrawal symptoms due to missing a regular hit of either heroin or crack cocaine. While some party people will have stockpiled or bulk bought their lockdown supply of recreational drugs, most heroin and crack cocaine users will have lacked the financial means to do this.

On June 1, in the midst of the turmoil created by the coronavirus pandemic and the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration quietly issued 12 fracking permits to Aera Energy, a joint venture owned by ExxonMobil and Shell.

Capitalist Catastrophism
Kevin Zeese, PopularResistance.Org - 8 hours ago
We are not really in capitalist realism anymore, that we have in fact been leaving it for quite some time and that the signs of what might replace it in our pandemic-ridden and rapidly warming world are increasingly apparent. Unless there is a radical break from capitalism — a revolution — what will supplant capitalist realism is not the ability to imagine and fight for a post-capitalist future as Mason, Uetricht and Milburn had hoped, but something more ambiguous and perhaps ultimately worse. I call this something worse “capitalist catastrophism.” Capitalist catastrophism is what...
New Colorado Law Ends Immunity For Police

Colorado Governor Jared Polis on Friday signed into law a bill to remove the shield of legal immunity that has long protected police officers from civil suits for on-the-job misconduct, a measure civil libertarians hailed as landmark legislation. The Colorado state legislature passed the sweeping police accountability bill last week in the wake of nationwide protests over unfair treatment of racial minorities by law enforcement, sparked by the death of an unarmed Black man under the knee of a white Minneapolis policeman last month. Polis, a first-term Democrat, took the 155th anni...
