My latest article on cannabis's future in Virginia. https://t.co/X1sjtlNi3o via @CannabisWire

Thanks to AAN for this! My article "Straight Time" for the Orlando Weekly looks into the discriminatory actions of a Christian rehab that punished a woman for kissing another woman.

Politico article today: "Ron DeSantis thinks pot is a menace to society. His biggest backer is working to legalize it." I wrote about this topic last month for @CannabisWire! https://t.co/BK8PdfqYF0

"DeSantis is not just guilty of a failure of words but of imagination- and of course of introspection...One can't pack the barn with TNT and then act shocked when it explodes. This very rational logic would trouble a leader burdened with empathy or even a hint of self-awareness."

[Craig Pittman @craigtimes]

Column: Mourning Jacksonville needed a leader. Instead, it got #Florida @GovRonDeSantis "lacking even the vocabulary to speak lucidly about the awful thing took place the day before." https://t.co/rMCoUSFjJQ via @NateMonroeTU

[Cannabis Wire @CannabisWire]

.@Trulieve, by far Florida's biggest cannabis player, has contributed a staggering $39M to an adult use legalization campaign in the state.

But, the ballot initiative needs approval from the state’s high court, which has shot down similar measures.

I’m late on the debate reaction, but I doubt DeSantis will be shucking the “Soros-funded prosecutors” line any time soon.

[Ethan Corey @EthanSCorey]

If you want to know the back story behind DeSantis's declaration of war against "Soros-funded prosecutors," check out @EricTegethoff's story from last month on the right's effort to remove and disempower pro-reform prosecutors. https://t.co/dgUiNQnhOk

[Ethan Corey @EthanSCorey]

Monique Worrell just became the latest casualty in the right's war on pro-reform prosecutors. @EricTegethoff took a deep dive on conservatives' motivations and strategies last week -- check it out! https://t.co/dgUiNQnhOk

[The Appeal @theappeal]

Between 2019-2022, 16 states introduced bills to curtail prosecutorial power. At least four more have passed similar laws in 2023. @EricTegethoff explains that this is all part of a broader anti-democratic attack on progressive prosecutors. https://t.co/0tln403cZj

[Eric Tegethoff @EricTegethoff]

It was great to work with @theappeal on this article about the right's attack on the "progressive prosecutor" movement. It likely comes as no surprise that this story starts in Florida. https://t.co/9gBITuxiqk

[Eric Tegethoff @EricTegethoff]

@mywiishforlife @craigtimes Yeah, to reiterate Craig, this involves a study of using waste in roadways. But the EPA still has to approve it before it can happen.

[Eric Tegethoff @EricTegethoff]

Whoa! Truly an honor to have Craig tweet about an article I wrote for The New Republic. @craigtimes is an environmental journalist icon!

[Craig Pittman @craigtimes]

#Florida looks to pave its roads with toxic waste (after big donations from the phosphate company producing those wastes) https://t.co/odax1tYBCU via @EricTegethoff

[Eric Tegethoff @EricTegethoff]

Here is an article I wrote for The New Republic on Florida exploring using radioactive waste in roads. Cool, Florida. Cool. https://t.co/PtuhDdyTfv Follow @newrepublic

"Closing Time" playing at a UPS at 9:30 am on Wednesday is officially the saddest place to hear that song.

The Taintsville Puppy Mill project seems to have come to end. To quote one of the public commenters on it: "You can put all the sound buffering on Abu Ghraib that you want to, but this is not something anyone wants in their neighborhood."

This letter from State Attorney Monique Worrell to Gov. Ron DeSantis is the spiciest thing you’ll see on the internet today https://t.co/s1ztcp2RgR

[Eric Tegethoff @EricTegethoff]

I'm back at it for the 420 Issue. Even came up with the headline! "Joint resolution in Tallahassee could leave cannabis measure up in smoke." https://t.co/qmeriu8i0P
