Kicked out of Twitter. I am a deaf cancer survivor and medical cannabis grower in California. I advocate for sensible gun control and disability rights.

    I’m watching the first season of this & it incorporates something that I really can’t stand about a lot of recent sci-fi: characters harping on their petty grievances & hurt feelings w/ friends & family while the world is in danger of ending abruptly.

    JD’s mom was not getting drugs from cartels, she was a nurse who was stealing painkillers from her patients.
    Her patients suffered and she got high. As a medical professional, I will tell you the lowest life form is someone who steals drugs from their patients. Zero sympathy for JD or his mom.

    The lunch counter sit-ins spread across the South. In Houston, 13 Texas Southern students sat down at Weingarten’s and refused to move.

    What people forget: Solidarity has always been key, even when forced underground.

    The Feds are not courageously rounding up the “worst of the worst.” They are not arresting violent criminals. They are focusing on soft targets and low-hanging fruit, people who are doing honest work, not gang members.

    BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.

    Dozens of Russian dissidents have been expelled from the US and forcibly returned to Russia with the co-operation of immigration authorities
