The First Major Presidential Candidate to Support Marijuana Legalization

Like most Americans, Vice President Kamala Harris has evolved on marijuana.

In 2010, when she was San Francisco’s district attorney, Harris urged voters to reject a proposed ballot initiative to legalize the adult-use marijuana market. At the time, Harris’ position aligned with that of most California voters, 54 percent of whom ultimately decided against the measure.

But not long after, Harris — and most Americans — changed their stance. 

Israel Is Excluded From the Ceremony Commemorating 1945 Atomic Bombing of Nagasaki

The victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 6, 1945 and Gaza in 2023 and 2024 were civilian population while the criminals and killers were the same students of the American and Western schools of terrorism, capitalism, imperialism, colonialism, racism, and aggression.

There is no difference here between America's atomic bombs and the bombs of destruction and annihilation that "Israel" drops on the people of Gaza which are smart American bombs that have many similarities and bloodiness to those found in successive American administrations which are united by the characteristic that they are inhumane administrations.

In Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, the population was exterminated and in Gaza they have been doing the same thing for ten months. Yes, and we do not exaggerate when we mention that the size of the destructive force and the number of bombs that fell on Gaza and as a reminder and so that we never forget, "Israeli" American, German, British, French and Western bombs in general.

The Struggle Within

And they searched his chest
But could only find his heart
And they searched his heart
And could only find his people
(Palestinian Poet Mahmud Darwish)

I hope we all continue to post about the ongoing genocide. We will not
rest, we will not stop- because this is the moral and most critical issue
of our time, the test of humanity and the test for all who claim they want
peace.

but it is even worse: In Gaza, the Casualty Rate Is a Mere Fraction of the
Death Rate. Starvation. No Food or Medical Supplies are Entering Gaza

Josh Shapiro Would Be a Dangerous Choice for Harris Running Mate

Kamala Harris has gained strong support as the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate. Putting Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro on the ticket would likely fracture that support.

 The most divisive issue among Democrats is the U.S.-enabled Israeli war against the civilian population of Gaza. To unify the party and defeat Trump’s MAGA forces, Harris needs to distance herself in a meaningful way from Joe Biden’s Gaza policy. If she does so, she can win back the votes and energy of young activists, progressives, racial justice organizers, Arab Americans and Muslims – many of whom devoted weeks or months of their lives in 2020 to defeating Trump on behalf of the Biden-Harris ticket.

 But a Harris-Shapiro ticket would jeopardize all that.
