Details about event

Monday, December 4, 2023, 1:00 PM
Please join the Marijuana Policy Project for a LIVE virtual discussion about what's next after voters passed Issue 2 at the ballot to make Ohio the 24th legalization state.  Karen O'Keefe, MPP's Director of State Policies, will be joined by Ohio State Rep. Juanita Brent and Tom Haren, Spokesperson of the Coalition to Regulate Marijuana like Alcohol (CRMLA) to speak about the details of Ohio's legalization law — and the challenges it will face in implementation.  \

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and his allies in the state legislature opposed the legalization measure that passed with a strong majority on November 7, and now prohibitionist lawmakers are seeking revisions and burdensome regulations that would undermine the will of voters and severely weaken legalization in the Buckeye State.  

PLEASE keep acting, forwarding, demonstrating, speaking out. It does make a
difference.

The president of the Islamic University of Gaza Prof. Sufian Tayeh and his
family were killed in Israeli bombing in North Gaza (Jabalya) 2 December
2023. I updated the detailed post on attacks on institution of higher
education including the call that was signed by Prof. Sufian few days
before he was killed:

Those unfamiliar with Gaza and its history are likely to always associate Gaza with destruction, rubble and Israeli genocide.  

 And they can hardly be blamed. On November 3, the UN Development Programme and the UN Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) announced that 45 percent of Gaza’s housing units have been destroyed or damaged since the beginning of the Latest Israeli aggression on Gaza.

 But the history of Gaza is also a history of great civilizations, as well as a history of revival, rebirth.

News: Youngstown State University follows Ohio State University in appointing a retired military man as president. Radically gerrymandered Ohio US Representative Bill Johnson—best known as a roaring Trumpist and loud election denier—served in the US Air  Force for 26 years.

Unlike “Top Gun” Ted Carter who retired as a vice admiral in the Navy and led 1200 student vocational US Naval Academy and briefly the University  of Nebraska System but never a large academic campus, Johnson retired as lieutenant colonel. Condemned by all YSU parties including faculty, students, and alumni, much like his OSU football coach predecessor Jim Tressell, Johnson has no relevant preparation or experience. Tressell at least knew the locker room.

That no longer matters in Ohio, much as State Senator Jerry Cirino wishes.

About “UnCharitable”

After three of the most dynamic and successful U.S. charities were shut down by conservative charity watchdogs, destroying lives and cutting off precious resources, many of the top influencers in the field knew something had to be done to overhaul the nonprofit sector.

Led by Dan Pallotta, whose record-breaking TED Talk on the subject has inspired leading philanthropists and changemakers, this feature-length documentary directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal exposes the dark side of philanthropy and introduces a radical new way of giving. In a powerful call to action, Uncharitable demands that charities be freed from the traditional constraints, so that they can truly change the world.

So anxious are Evangelicals for the second coming of the Lord by God, a zombie apocalypse, many anxious MAGA disciples are rushing headlong into Armageddon with their offering of not one, but two heirheads apparent: The Orange Jesus, Trump the Terrible  vs. The Satanist DeSantis.  I have been told by some that the Orange one has been overheard to say: There for the Grace of God, go I,” Or,  was it… Whither God goes’, go I. I forgot which.

In one corner, we have the” “Second Coming” Donald Trump suggested that he is second not only to Jesus but Abraham Lincoln as well.  As the television pundits might say, “There’s a lot to unpack here.” Replace Jesus with Satan and you’ll get no argument from me.

New GOP Motto: Ignorance is Bliss and we are the Blissful Party

Trump is not a Christ idol, unless we think of him as the idol rich.  He’s more into creating Hell on Earth. Here, Heil for chaos, callowness and cruelty.
