Interesting choice

For someone who seems to do everything he can to remove freedoms, this seems an odd choice.

President Trump on Saturday signed an executive order seeking to hasten research into the therapeutic benefits of LSD, Ecstasy, psilocybin and other mind-altering drugs by ordering federal agencies to ease restrictions that have long limited the ability of scientists to study them.

The measure also provides $50 million for state-level research into ibogaine, a powerful psychedelic made from the root of a Central African shrub that has been drawing interest from researchers for its potential to treat opioid use disorder and other forms of substance abuse.

Bingo

 

Resisting throught the courts

 

I doubt a decade will be enough

 

At least a generation - if ever -  to repair this Trump term.

One day they''ll go too far even for MAGA

 You might well have thought he already has, but you'd be wrong.

We are living in a David Lynch movie

Death cult

 

State by state

 A disunited approach will, in the end, affect everyone in the country.

Better than nothing, though.

A break from ICE...

That was to protect the company from future lawsuits over possible birth defects.

In 1978, women production workers at the American Cyanamid chemical plant in Willow Island, West Virginia, learned that they would soon have to make a distressing choice. In a series of meetings with small groups of women, company officials announced a “fetus protection policy.” They were told that doctors and lawyers at American Cyanamid’s headquarters in Wayne, New Jersey, had long been at work on a plan to protect any potential fetus from exposure to a range of chemicals produced at the factory, located on the southern bank of the Ohio River. After May 1, 1978, any woman between the ages of sixteen and fifty “whose ability to become pregnant has not been precluded by surgical means” would be “out the gate” and unemployed, in the words of Glenn Mercer, the superintendent.1 Some of the women cried. Others angrily demanded an explanation. A few offered to sign waivers freeing the company from liability if they should give birth to a disabled child. Some volunteered elements of their sexual and medical history, bargaining that birth control pills or a husband’s vasectomy might exempt them from the edict. It did not.

Four women ultimately underwent tubal ligations. Two others refused sterilization and were demoted to janitorial positions at a lower pay rate.

[...]

Ultimately, the fetus protection policy applied only to the lead pigments department—though one woman who worked in another division underwent the procedure after the plan was articulated in an early, expansive form.

[...]

After enduring a year of abuse from coworkers and supervisors alike, the women who opted for sterilization to maintain their jobs in the pigments once again found themselves buffeted by a cruel corporate calculus: In late 1979, American Cyanamid shut down its Willow Island pigments department.

Trump 2.0 is a death cult

 

RFK Mengele Jr

 

Impeach RFKJr

 

Destroyer of worlds

 

GOP is not totally self-destructive

 

Hawley?!

PS How old is that picture of Susan Collins?  Murkowski, too.  And Rand Paul, come to think of it.  

UPDATE 06:06 pm:

Do better in 2026

 Looking back over 2025 MAHA...

MAGA

 Thanks, RFKJr.

'12 Monkeys' was prophecy

 

Arbeit Macht Frei

 And you thought the goal of the health system was to provide health care for American citizens.

RFKJ and Trump are destroying what health system we had

 Look for state and local guidance.

Who could have foreseen?
