The “criminal loophole” has been written OUT of the TN constitution!

People talk about police brutality but not so much about prosecutor abuse. Prosecutors do so much heinous shit and get away with it. It’s unbelievable.

AN OPEN LETTER to THE PRESIDENT & U.S. CONGRESS; STATE GOVERNORS & LEGISLATURES

Support Marijuana Decriminalization for a more Equitable USA

4 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I am writing to express my strong support for the decriminalization of marijuana at both the federal and state levels. The current approach to cannabis, rooted in policies dating back to 1971, requires urgent reconsideration given evolving social norms and scientific understanding.

The revelation by President Richard Nixon's domestic policy chief, John Ehrlichman, that the war on drugs was designed to target Black communities underscores the urgent need to rectify the injustices perpetuated by decades of punitive drug policies. The disproportionate impact of these policies on communities of color has fueled systemic inequities in our criminal justice system.

Decriminalization of marijuana would shift our focus from ineffective punitive measures to evidence-based public health strategies, emphasizing harm reduction and regulated use, whether medicinal or recreational. It's crucial to differentiate between decriminalization and unregulated use, prioritizing public health and equitable access.

I urge you to champion legislation that decriminalizes marijuana and addresses the racial disparities entrenched by outdated drug policies. By investing in research and public health initiatives related to cannabis, we can develop policies that protect public health while respecting individual freedoms.

In conclusion, federal and state-level decriminalization of marijuana is imperative to rectify the failures of past policies and promote equitable, evidence-based drug reform. I urge you to seize this opportunity to advance sensible, ethical drug policy reforms that reflect our evolving understanding of cannabis regulation.

Thank you for considering my perspective on this critical matter. I look forward to your leadership in championing meaningful drug policy reform.

hot take but “the victim’s/the victim’s family’s feelings are the only ones that matter” attitude is dangerous. i know for a fact that i should not be in charge of the punishment for people who hurt me/the people i love. i’m too emotionally connected to it to make rational, ethical choices about it. the justice system should not be built around the darkest impulses of traumatized people.

Vote for safe neighborhoods

For all races! We are guessing that more of us read the small-print waivers on those on-line software updates than peruse the Candidate Q&As in our favorite Madison WI morning newspaper. Drop down, maggot, and give me 20! We got an election coming up on April 2! In their own words, candidates answer three questions, including: What can or should the county do to reduce racial disparities in the…

Harmless Error Rule

What’s up everyone? Today, I want to briefly talk to you about the “Harmless Error Rule,” which is another example of a miscarriage of justice. Harmless Error is a frequently invoked doctrine used in all criminal appeals. When a person is convicted of a crime, they are given a set of appeals to review the possible errors that occurred during their trial. Depending on these errors, they may…

Abolish the shield of privilege from justice's gaze. Release the captive fortunes seized in the name of law. Unchain the struggle against substances, let liberty thaw. Liberate the accused from the heavy yoke of criminalization. Banish the silent intrusions, no-knock warrants' dark incantation. Dismantle the fortress of force, let peace and trust prevail. Undo the rigid grip of sentences, where freedom tends to frail.
