.@nytimes’s @cdcaron investigates health threats to teens from increasingly high potency #cannabis products, incl. psychosis, schizophrenia, & suicidal ideation, citing CA’s #SB1097 – which will add mental health warnings - as way to address crisis. https://t.co/tRhJWmfTbi #CaLeg

Historically racist policies like redlining continue to negatively impact health of Black people, says @NIH funded study. We can combat #StructuralRacism by addressing root causes of #HealthInequities. @CAGovernor: Support #HERJFund/Advance #RacialJustice. https://t.co/g0GsV1bQpP

I wonder whether Justice Thomas realizes that the gift the Chief Justice gave him by scheduling the announcement of the gun rights decision for Thomas’s date of birth will be a gift of death for thousands?

Californians 15 & older deserve the right to choose to get vaccinated against #COVID – just as young people ALREADY can consent to treat infectious diseases or prevent STDS. @AssemblyDems in #CaLeg: #SB866
(@Scott_Wiener) would save lives & make schools safer! #CovidIsNotOver

.@TheDailyShow’s @Trevornoah on #Uvalde's police indifference & cowardice during school slaughter. The ONE time its appropriate for cops to go in guns blazing, they picnic. But if you're a black person w. a broken taillight they go Rambo on your ass. https://t.co/Rki5fxpuvJ

#HERJFund is supported by the #CaLeg, @AssemblyDems & @CASenateDems like @Rendon63rd, @SenToniAtkins, @PhilTing, @NancySkinnerCA, & 200+ orgs! @CAGovernor: Join us & make history for Communities of Color by including the #HealthEquity & #RacialJustice Fund in the final #CaBudget!

Today’s testimony opens a new possibility: charging Trump not only with seditious conspiracy (18 USC 2384), inciting insurrection (2383), defrauding the US (371) & obstructing a congressional proceeding (1505) but also wire fraud (18 USC 1343): fleecing ordinary citizens of $$$$$

US loses $93B in medical care costs & $42B in lost productivity per year due to #HealthInequities. By focusing on keeping people healthy in first place #HERJFund would improve lives & contain healthcare costs while promoting #RacialJustice & #HealthEquity! https://t.co/wHpD1yBnhu

[Safely Opening Schools @SOSacrossCA]

Young people can choose to get birth control, abortions, or treatment for infectious diseases. Teens deserve right to get lifesaving #COVIDVaccine too! #CaLeg: #SB866 will allow teens to be healthier & stay in school more safely. @teensforvaxx @CMAdocs @AmerAcadPeds @SchoolNurses

[Getting it Right from the Start @GetItRightonMJ]

.@AsmMiaBonta/@RobBonta: Thank you for #AB1706 & #AB1793 advancing expungement of criminal records for #cannabis. No one should go to jail for #cannabis but no one should go to the hospital either. Please support #SB1097 (@SenDrPan/@AsmKevinMcCarty)–#Cannabis Right to Know Act!

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

When people like Sen. Lindsey Graham speak, you don't hear anything about the major issues facing the country. That's what the political establishment does.
