PORTAL (@Proplr) has three goals: de-stigmatize the responsible use of psychedelics, educate about their benefits, and advocate for legal accessibility.

This is very relevant to majority of our class discussions. We talk about social media, TikTok in particular, and how our society relies so heavily on it for info/news. Can TikTok be useful and educational or is it misinforming? Can it be both? #CrimEdCu

[Psychology Today @PsychToday]

A recent study examined 500 TikTok videos with 25 million total views. 83.7% offered inaccurate or potentially damaging advice. https://t.co/VS2iOCv5jc

This is so disheartening and disgusting. People are delusional to think that racism is dead in America. The county officials should not only lose their positions of power but also be arrested for conspiracy to murder. #CrimEdCU

[The New York Times @nytimes]

A small newspaper in rural Oklahoma secretly recorded what it said was an illegal public meeting where a county official talked about hanging Black people and several officials spoke of hiring hit men and digging holes for two of the newspaper’s reporters. https://t.co/yT4SlcCHNU

We need a change and more gun control in our country. It is way too easy to purchase a gun and why does anyone need an AR-15 rifle anyway? #CrimEdCU

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

The gunman who killed five people and injured eight in a shooting in downtown Louisville on Monday legally purchased the AR-15 rifle six days before carrying out the attack, authorities said Tuesday. https://t.co/zSwqq8DRB4

In class we always talk about TikTok and the potential harm it is doing to our society. I wonder what people will have to say about the potential banning of the app. #CrimEdCU #crimE

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

There are plans to BAN TikTok due to fears of the Chinese spying on Americans.

The bill received bi-partisan and public support

Most people don't see the darker side of the bill, one that should concern EVERY citizen of a democracy

What would good would this law do? With all of the mass shootings and gun violence in the world, why put even less restrictions on gun laws. This is terrifying #CrimEdCu

[The Associated Press @AP]

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill that will allow Floridians to carry concealed guns without a permit. The new law, which takes effect July 1, gives the Republican governor another legislative victory as he prepares a campaign for president. https://t.co/nt6leb8Z8W

I found this tweet relevant to our class discussions lately. We keep talking about gender and crime and it is interesting how when it is a man committing the crime we don’t stereotype that gender the way we stereotype other genders. #CrimEdCu

[Decoding Fox News @DecodingFoxNews]

Blaming all trans people for the mass shooting in Nashville is like blaming all straight white men for Ted Bundy. No one even brings up gender or orientation when a straight white man commits the same kind of crime.

[Jessica Ruk @RukJessica]

Last class we talked about mother blaming. Society always look to blame a mother for their child’s actions. We compared gender roles; do fathers receive as much blame as mothers? I wonder if people are blaming both parents equally or is there a disparity #CrimEdCu

@ea10233 @lawcrimenews I don’t know why anyone would want this..What would one gain from owning this? I think a sense of voyeurism is present here, society enjoys having access to other people’s private lives and this is one example of that. People just find the case so fascinating #CrimEdCu

[Jessica Ruk @RukJessica]

This is extremely disturbing. We rely on medical staff to HELP victims not turn them into victims. The medical episode that the teen was being treated for did not require any touching. Another disgusting example of people abusing their authority. #CrimEdCU

@DLSantiago_ I agree this is so sad for that young boy. Men are even more unlikely than woman to come forward regarding sexual assault and comments like this only deter them more. Victim blaming happens to men as well. #CrimEdCU

[Jessica Ruk @RukJessica]

This article made me think of a discussion our class had about gender in crime. It also proves the importance of language. The way we describe a crime alters people’s perceptions of the crime itself. Perhaps a “Love Killing” is not as heinous as a “Murder” ? #CrimEdCU

[Jessica Ruk @RukJessica]

Comments under this post asking why would she accept a massage from the coach are baffling. More importantly why are we so quick to victim blame when someone comes forward about sexual assaults? No wonder why more than half of these cases go unreported. #CrimEdCU

This situation made me think about how more misinformation could possibly be spread with using ChatGPT. Misinformation is already at an all time high in our society and it feels like our world is creating things to just spread more misinformation. #crimedcu

This whole case is so shocking. It would be interesting to look at how many death penalty cases have occurred under Murdaugh and how the crimes in those cases compare to the crimes he has committed. #crimEDCU

[Jay @jaybronious]

This was one of the most powerful parts of Judge Newman’s sentencing. You absolutely know the Solicitors Murdaugh put people to death for way less than what Alex did. #MurdaughTrial
