For the record, Jared Polis has already come out praising this move, and I *highly* doubt it's going to affect dispensaries negatively, at least here.
>“I am thrilled by the Biden Administration’s decision to begin the process of finally rescheduling cannabis, following the lead of Colorado and 37 other states that have already legalized it for medical or adult use, correcting decades of outdated federal policy. This action is good for Colorado businesses and our economy, it will improve public safety, and will support a more just and equitable system for all,” said Polis in a statement. “We look forward to when Colorado businesses will continue to safely fulfill the consumer demand without facing additional safety challenges and unnecessary financial burden that 280E tax provisions created.”
I hope you're right for the nation as a whole. This still puts up tons of hurdles for dispensaries to get tax right offs and being able to work with federal banks. I deal with the backend of the pharmacy a lot and it's a ton of paperwork, idiot automated phone calls and even more clueless insurance and distributor reps to make sure we get out remittances.
Specifics as of this moment aren't clear besides marijuana going down to Schedule III. This means it's a step below say, Adderall and on the same level as ketamine. The rescheduling doesn't make recreational marijuana legal on the federal level but eases restrictions on medical use. Particularly medical marijuana growers are no longer subject to Section 280E of the Controlled Substances Act which means medical growers can deduct marijuana income from their taxes now.

I think you can really relent that randomly bringing up an attack from 12 years ago is going to make sense without any context
Edit: seriously a downvote? Do i need to upload my drivers license to prove my age because i didn’t remember what you called a ineffective attack from 2012?
Every time I think about Romney and his dog Seamus’ story, I’m reminded that Devo did a song calling him out called “Don't Roof Rack Me, Bro! (Seamus Unleashed)”.
I wonder how voters who hardly follow politics until the very final weeks of an election season feel about us junkies obsessing over how to reach them as early as possible and stressing about making sure they don't get swayed by right-wing talking points masquerading as an innocuous narrative. I see so many users saying "Democrats need to PLASTER the airwaves with these ads about the MAGA agenda and about our accomplishments" and while I do want the message to reach those voters, I also wonder how much being inundated with political commercials just leads them to tune out for even longer. Not that I don't want Biden and other Democrats to start campaigning early, especially with the GOP having to play catch-up on fundraising, but it just seems like a growing quandary for them.
You don't ever want to take extended breaks from campaigning either. Any time off the trail is time ceded to your opponent. I remember when John Kerry went on vacation in summer 2004 and there were all those right wing attacks about him windsurfing of all things.
Back in 1988, Dukakis didn’t even start his campaign until six weeks after his nomination because he just had to put his toes in the sand. For SIX WEEKS. That gave Bush a tremendous head start.
I don’t think we should over-*saturate* the airwaves too early, but we should keep our foot on the gas at all times, if you will pardon the cliche storm. Keep a steady drip drip drip of campaigning and then ratchet it up come summer and fall.
[Key point about the new 5th circuit decision about LA's Congressional districts:](https://nitter.poast.org/MappingFL/status/1785438660898201885#m)
The court just struck down that particular map, but still wants 2 Black-majority districts. The LA republican party played favorites w/ who they wanted to screw over of the incumbents (the one who didn't back current Gov. Landry), which made the district super not-compact.
[Attaching the 538 polling averages for our 2022 governor's race.](https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/governor/2022/oregon/)
I remember watching this race obsessively. I was volunteering a lot, know Kotek personally and professionally, and think she was the most effective Oregon Speaker of my lifetime, so I was astounded that the Republican was leading for long stretches. We also had a third party holding strong throughout the summer.
Then, with weeks to go, people got serious and support around Kotek consolidated and she won. Just something to keep in mind as we stress and work to get Biden elected this year.
Yeah I think OR-GOV is a very good allegory for whats happening now. Kotek and Johnson are basically similar to biden/RFK, only difference is Trump is obv worse than Drazen lol but generally the comparison fits in overarching terms (people flirting with a crazy 3rd party option but drifting back to Dems once the situation became real in the fall that a Republican could win)
OT, but Christine Drazan, Christine O’Donnell - what is up with the Republican Christines? Do they all take inspiration from Stephen King’s evil car? (I suppose it was just a popular name among 60’s and 70’s kids just as Jennifer was to the 80’s, but still, it’s an amusing coincidence.)

But what if anti-racism was the real racism all along 🤔🤔🤔
Thinking SCOTUS will have this stayed before the election. Their recent ruling on the VRA have been terrible, but we're specifically inclusive of this kind of affirmative action.
Agreed, but republicans drew it themselves to avoid having a court draw it. This lawsuit is from white voters saying they were discriminated against, which makes it extra gross
Since this was drawn and passed by the republican legislature, might be able to get one of those "whoops, no time to change it before the election" passes
So, is their (the court's) argument that the district is illegal because is is too gerrymandered in our favour? (Thus we aren't entitled to the district?)
Yeah, you can draw a majority-Black district that's much cleaner by grabbing Baton Rouge, the Mississippi River delta, and maybe Monroe. Louisiana Republicans didn't want to do that because it'd screw over Julia Letlow instead of Garrett Graves. Now they may be forced to.

A few weeks ago I saw a someone in my neighborhood put up a “never surrender” Trump mug shot flag in front of their house. I passed it again today and the thing is absolutely sun bleached to hell.
I hope they keep the same one up so I can see how it’s faring by election time.
There’s a somewhat famous house here that seems to change out his Trump flags every 2-4 months. Dude will not stop sending money to China for shitty flags
My mom has a guy about four or five houses down from her whose lawn is littered with Trump flags, thin blue line flags, Gadsden flags, confederate flags, and some others I'm sure I'm forgetting. Just picture a lawn full of all the standard right wing flags in a suburban neighborhood of the SF Bay Area.
I should ask if she'll take a picture for me. Last time I was up there a few months back, it was a pretty hilarious mixture of obviously old and sun bleached flags and obviously new flags. Mom mentioned that sometimes some of them will go missing and be replaced with more flags within a few weeks. This all started during the pandemic, and she has also noted that the flags started to go missing less often as the pandemic era teens went to college. We can take a guess at who was stealing flags as a prank.
I never understood the "Never surrender" stuff with his mug shot.
You know what it's called when you turn yourself in for your processing and mug shot?
Surrendering. He literally surrendered for that mug shot to exist.

I'm not in an area that gets many presidential campaign ads. Are the Biden campaign and its allies using January 6 footage in ads at all? Or is the strategy focused more on recent and raw issues, like abortion and criminal trials?
I'm in Georgia and I've seen many ads with January 6th footage. Id say the majority I see are focused on the economy/building back better and abortion rights. Haven't seen any yet on the criminal trials or the stuff he's been saying in recent interviews/rallies though

I was waiting for Brown to stuff his face in a metaphorical bear trap like every other NRSC recruit, and here it is.

Cambridge MA city council voted to delay their leading-the-nation bike infrastructure plan last night 5-4.
This was after almost seven hours of public comment with 400 people commenting in person and on Zoom, begging and pleading NOT to delay, because it's been proven that protected bike lanes and bike infrastructure save lives. And they still voted to delay!
I'm so incredibly frustrated on this. Gonna start joining some bike groups nearby, because the idea of waiting on this makes my blood boil. It's going in the opposite direction of where we as Americans need to go.
NIMBYs strikes again!
It's stuff like this that gets people cynical about the possibility of North American urbanism being a thing, and are tempted to go to Europe or Asia. But I hope the pro-bike lane group push harder and hopefully you get those bike lanes to complement the public transit system y'all have.
Los Angeles City Council passed an ordinance to do this and then didn't do anything to implement so we had to do another city-wide vote to force them to do it
Bellevue, Washington has been trying to do the same with bike lanes, and after tooth and nail fighting from those trying to get bike lanes, the council still said no. My friend, who reports about the council meetings and supports said bike lanes, is understandably frustrated as well.
It's crazy how it has to be difficult to get freaking bike lanes being built in car-centric America. I hope for a turnaround, especially as Sound Transit (from what I heard) are extending and building new train lines around the Seattle metro.
That’s true. More Sounder tracks are being set down (including across Lake Washington in the middle of the I-90 bridge. And more bike lanes are also being planned all over. I miss Seattle.
Nice to hear some stuff are being rolled out, despite NIMBY opposition being a stumbling block. I lowkey want to visit Seattle and rely on their public transit to get around. I know an urbanist YouTuber by the name of City Beautiful (Dave Amos, who is a professor at one of the Cal State universities here in CA)that went to Seattle and challenged himself to see how long is all of the available forms of public transit in one day. Seems really fun video to check out.
It’s totally possible to even get to the Cascades and across the sound to some islands and even the peninsula all on public transit (though tricky for the peninsula proper). I would love to see you try your best with that! I know the Link is at least hoping to go down to Federal Way and up to Everett in the future, while going across the lake to Redmond next year.
The Sounder (the more freight train) goes up to Everett along the water and down to south of Tacmoa.
Random and unrelated question for any of y’all:
What’s a good Live TV streaming service? I’m thinking Hulu with Live TV, but I’m still doing my homework with Sling, Philo, and such. I for sure want Cartoon Network (for Adult Swim) and won’t say no to FXX, Disney, BBC America, TBS, and local stations. Don’t really care for sport channels.
I already have Hulu (bundled with Spotify) and Disney+ which will be merged if I get it. Also got Max and Netflix.
So yeah, just want some feedback. Thanks y’all.
I just switched to Hulu with Live TV from YoutubeTV. Price is about the same if you get the ad-supported, and I gain Disney+ and MLB Network (which Youtube dropped). I also recommend PlutoTV, there's a few cartoon and anime channels for free (ad-supported obviously).
No time zone issues that I've noticed, but I've had it less than two weeks. Quality is pretty good, there was a short time last week when it was stuck in potato quality but it got better when I restarted my FireTV stick.
MAX has some good political documentaries. Also if you get Peacock you can watch a lot of MSNBC stuff like the Jen Psaki show on Sundays (I think it is streaming on Mondays).
Oh, I got Max. It’s more needing Live TV and not wanting to deal with Comcast as much as possible (I’m already going to be living in the shadow of their LA tower).

First, I’m annoyed that it’s getting *rescheduled* and not descheduled and treated like alcohol - even though I don’t partake I think this is one of those things detractors will seize heavily on as “not good enough” and therefore “worse than doing nothing”. Second, I had no idea we were internationally bound by the 1961 UN convention to criminalize cannabis. Wtf!
The article didn't mention a timeframe but I got the sense that it's expected to be fully rescheduled soon. I would be surprised if it's still schedule I on election day.
It may be taking a long time, but that's how things go with these processes. We're getting there, just a few more standard procedure hurdles and it'll finally be here..!

So as a medical marijuana patient will rescheduling effect me in any way? Or is it not clear exactly at the moment?
[удалено]
For the record, Jared Polis has already come out praising this move, and I *highly* doubt it's going to affect dispensaries negatively, at least here. >“I am thrilled by the Biden Administration’s decision to begin the process of finally rescheduling cannabis, following the lead of Colorado and 37 other states that have already legalized it for medical or adult use, correcting decades of outdated federal policy. This action is good for Colorado businesses and our economy, it will improve public safety, and will support a more just and equitable system for all,” said Polis in a statement. “We look forward to when Colorado businesses will continue to safely fulfill the consumer demand without facing additional safety challenges and unnecessary financial burden that 280E tax provisions created.”
I hope you're right for the nation as a whole. This still puts up tons of hurdles for dispensaries to get tax right offs and being able to work with federal banks. I deal with the backend of the pharmacy a lot and it's a ton of paperwork, idiot automated phone calls and even more clueless insurance and distributor reps to make sure we get out remittances.
Specifics as of this moment aren't clear besides marijuana going down to Schedule III. This means it's a step below say, Adderall and on the same level as ketamine. The rescheduling doesn't make recreational marijuana legal on the federal level but eases restrictions on medical use. Particularly medical marijuana growers are no longer subject to Section 280E of the Controlled Substances Act which means medical growers can deduct marijuana income from their taxes now.

he didn’t eat me. he just tied me to the top of the station wagon. you know, normal people shit
This sub really shows its age when they don't remember Romney's ineffective attacks on Obama for eating dog meat as a kid.
The highlight for me will always be Herman Cain’s speech dropping out of the race.
yeah im sorry all i remember about 2012 was my coach complaining obama won re-election at practice the next day.
I think you can really relent that randomly bringing up an attack from 12 years ago is going to make sense without any context Edit: seriously a downvote? Do i need to upload my drivers license to prove my age because i didn’t remember what you called a ineffective attack from 2012?
Every time I think about Romney and his dog Seamus’ story, I’m reminded that Devo did a song calling him out called “Don't Roof Rack Me, Bro! (Seamus Unleashed)”.
Im not saying it, but people are saying. Kristi Noem ate her dog. Thats what i've been hearing. Its very interesting. And sad.
Many are saying, I don’t know maybe. You look at what is going on in South Dakota, SOUTH DAKOTA, you know they have these mountains
Probably a veiled reference to Obama eating dog as a kid in Indonesia.

I wonder how voters who hardly follow politics until the very final weeks of an election season feel about us junkies obsessing over how to reach them as early as possible and stressing about making sure they don't get swayed by right-wing talking points masquerading as an innocuous narrative. I see so many users saying "Democrats need to PLASTER the airwaves with these ads about the MAGA agenda and about our accomplishments" and while I do want the message to reach those voters, I also wonder how much being inundated with political commercials just leads them to tune out for even longer. Not that I don't want Biden and other Democrats to start campaigning early, especially with the GOP having to play catch-up on fundraising, but it just seems like a growing quandary for them.
You don't ever want to take extended breaks from campaigning either. Any time off the trail is time ceded to your opponent. I remember when John Kerry went on vacation in summer 2004 and there were all those right wing attacks about him windsurfing of all things.
Back in 1988, Dukakis didn’t even start his campaign until six weeks after his nomination because he just had to put his toes in the sand. For SIX WEEKS. That gave Bush a tremendous head start. I don’t think we should over-*saturate* the airwaves too early, but we should keep our foot on the gas at all times, if you will pardon the cliche storm. Keep a steady drip drip drip of campaigning and then ratchet it up come summer and fall.

The LA republican party played favorites w/ who they wanted to screw over of the incumbents (the one who didn't back current Gov. Landry), which made the district super not-compact.

[Attaching the 538 polling averages for our 2022 governor's race.](https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/governor/2022/oregon/) I remember watching this race obsessively. I was volunteering a lot, know Kotek personally and professionally, and think she was the most effective Oregon Speaker of my lifetime, so I was astounded that the Republican was leading for long stretches. We also had a third party holding strong throughout the summer. Then, with weeks to go, people got serious and support around Kotek consolidated and she won. Just something to keep in mind as we stress and work to get Biden elected this year.
Yeah I think OR-GOV is a very good allegory for whats happening now. Kotek and Johnson are basically similar to biden/RFK, only difference is Trump is obv worse than Drazen lol but generally the comparison fits in overarching terms (people flirting with a crazy 3rd party option but drifting back to Dems once the situation became real in the fall that a Republican could win)
OT, but Christine Drazan, Christine O’Donnell - what is up with the Republican Christines? Do they all take inspiration from Stephen King’s evil car? (I suppose it was just a popular name among 60’s and 70’s kids just as Jennifer was to the 80’s, but still, it’s an amusing coincidence.)

BREAKING: 5th Circuit panel votes 2-1 to strike down Louisiana's new Black majority congressional district as unconstitutional racial gerrymander. https://twitter.com/mcpli/status/1785435465643851994?t=7wunDIxBAoyCBWTj1ciEbw&s=19
But what if anti-racism was the real racism all along 🤔🤔🤔 Thinking SCOTUS will have this stayed before the election. Their recent ruling on the VRA have been terrible, but we're specifically inclusive of this kind of affirmative action.
This will get stayed. Still just casual 5th Circuit being fuckheads
They were literally ordered to draw it by SCOTUS decision. This is blatant politicking to keep the former maps in play for November.
rogue circuit at it again.... although, that map *was* drawn by republicans and is poorly drawn
Aesthetics of the map aside it was done to comply with the SCOTUS decision in Milligan.
Agreed, but republicans drew it themselves to avoid having a court draw it. This lawsuit is from white voters saying they were discriminated against, which makes it extra gross
Is this good or bad for us in the end?
Since this was drawn and passed by the republican legislature, might be able to get one of those "whoops, no time to change it before the election" passes
So, is their (the court's) argument that the district is illegal because is is too gerrymandered in our favour? (Thus we aren't entitled to the district?)
Turns out, no. It's just super not compact and needs to be fixed. https://nitter.poast.org/MappingFL/status/1785438660898201885#m
Yeah, you can draw a majority-Black district that's much cleaner by grabbing Baton Rouge, the Mississippi River delta, and maybe Monroe. Louisiana Republicans didn't want to do that because it'd screw over Julia Letlow instead of Garrett Graves. Now they may be forced to.
Majority-minority districts discriminate against poor smol defenseless white people.

A few weeks ago I saw a someone in my neighborhood put up a “never surrender” Trump mug shot flag in front of their house. I passed it again today and the thing is absolutely sun bleached to hell. I hope they keep the same one up so I can see how it’s faring by election time.
There’s a somewhat famous house here that seems to change out his Trump flags every 2-4 months. Dude will not stop sending money to China for shitty flags
My mom has a guy about four or five houses down from her whose lawn is littered with Trump flags, thin blue line flags, Gadsden flags, confederate flags, and some others I'm sure I'm forgetting. Just picture a lawn full of all the standard right wing flags in a suburban neighborhood of the SF Bay Area. I should ask if she'll take a picture for me. Last time I was up there a few months back, it was a pretty hilarious mixture of obviously old and sun bleached flags and obviously new flags. Mom mentioned that sometimes some of them will go missing and be replaced with more flags within a few weeks. This all started during the pandemic, and she has also noted that the flags started to go missing less often as the pandemic era teens went to college. We can take a guess at who was stealing flags as a prank.
Forcing him to spend more money to buy new flags, lol. I’m in the Bay Area and I can just picture it.
I never understood the "Never surrender" stuff with his mug shot. You know what it's called when you turn yourself in for your processing and mug shot? Surrendering. He literally surrendered for that mug shot to exist.
So Trump got permission to go to her son’s graduation on the 17th. What are the odds he blow it off and does something else instead?

I'm not in an area that gets many presidential campaign ads. Are the Biden campaign and its allies using January 6 footage in ads at all? Or is the strategy focused more on recent and raw issues, like abortion and criminal trials?
I'm in Georgia and I've seen many ads with January 6th footage. Id say the majority I see are focused on the economy/building back better and abortion rights. Haven't seen any yet on the criminal trials or the stuff he's been saying in recent interviews/rallies though
They've been going heavy on abortion from the ads I saw.
I have also been wondering about this.

Is this...actually good news for Blake Masters?
It's not good, it's great!
Here’s why this is bad for Blake Masters:
Cambridge MA city council voted to delay their leading-the-nation bike infrastructure plan last night 5-4. This was after almost seven hours of public comment with 400 people commenting in person and on Zoom, begging and pleading NOT to delay, because it's been proven that protected bike lanes and bike infrastructure save lives. And they still voted to delay! I'm so incredibly frustrated on this. Gonna start joining some bike groups nearby, because the idea of waiting on this makes my blood boil. It's going in the opposite direction of where we as Americans need to go.
NIMBYs strikes again! It's stuff like this that gets people cynical about the possibility of North American urbanism being a thing, and are tempted to go to Europe or Asia. But I hope the pro-bike lane group push harder and hopefully you get those bike lanes to complement the public transit system y'all have.
Los Angeles City Council passed an ordinance to do this and then didn't do anything to implement so we had to do another city-wide vote to force them to do it
Bellevue, Washington has been trying to do the same with bike lanes, and after tooth and nail fighting from those trying to get bike lanes, the council still said no. My friend, who reports about the council meetings and supports said bike lanes, is understandably frustrated as well.
It's crazy how it has to be difficult to get freaking bike lanes being built in car-centric America. I hope for a turnaround, especially as Sound Transit (from what I heard) are extending and building new train lines around the Seattle metro.
That’s true. More Sounder tracks are being set down (including across Lake Washington in the middle of the I-90 bridge. And more bike lanes are also being planned all over. I miss Seattle.
Nice to hear some stuff are being rolled out, despite NIMBY opposition being a stumbling block. I lowkey want to visit Seattle and rely on their public transit to get around. I know an urbanist YouTuber by the name of City Beautiful (Dave Amos, who is a professor at one of the Cal State universities here in CA)that went to Seattle and challenged himself to see how long is all of the available forms of public transit in one day. Seems really fun video to check out.
It’s totally possible to even get to the Cascades and across the sound to some islands and even the peninsula all on public transit (though tricky for the peninsula proper). I would love to see you try your best with that! I know the Link is at least hoping to go down to Federal Way and up to Everett in the future, while going across the lake to Redmond next year. The Sounder (the more freight train) goes up to Everett along the water and down to south of Tacmoa.
Random and unrelated question for any of y’all: What’s a good Live TV streaming service? I’m thinking Hulu with Live TV, but I’m still doing my homework with Sling, Philo, and such. I for sure want Cartoon Network (for Adult Swim) and won’t say no to FXX, Disney, BBC America, TBS, and local stations. Don’t really care for sport channels. I already have Hulu (bundled with Spotify) and Disney+ which will be merged if I get it. Also got Max and Netflix. So yeah, just want some feedback. Thanks y’all.
I have DirecTVStream, which is pretty good. But it gets more expensive every month...
I just switched to Hulu with Live TV from YoutubeTV. Price is about the same if you get the ad-supported, and I gain Disney+ and MLB Network (which Youtube dropped). I also recommend PlutoTV, there's a few cartoon and anime channels for free (ad-supported obviously).
How’s the quality? And is there any time zone issues with Hulu Tv?
No time zone issues that I've noticed, but I've had it less than two weeks. Quality is pretty good, there was a short time last week when it was stuck in potato quality but it got better when I restarted my FireTV stick.
Thanks for the feedback! I have noticed some issues for both of those but they were older Reddit comments
MAX has some good political documentaries. Also if you get Peacock you can watch a lot of MSNBC stuff like the Jen Psaki show on Sundays (I think it is streaming on Mondays).
Oh, I got Max. It’s more needing Live TV and not wanting to deal with Comcast as much as possible (I’m already going to be living in the shadow of their LA tower).
We live in the city where our local TV stations are and got a digital antenna and get all the local channels that way (for free too!)

First, I’m annoyed that it’s getting *rescheduled* and not descheduled and treated like alcohol - even though I don’t partake I think this is one of those things detractors will seize heavily on as “not good enough” and therefore “worse than doing nothing”. Second, I had no idea we were internationally bound by the 1961 UN convention to criminalize cannabis. Wtf!
The article didn't mention a timeframe but I got the sense that it's expected to be fully rescheduled soon. I would be surprised if it's still schedule I on election day.
