@SenMarkKelly It's my understanding that civil servants aren't allowed to own a piece of anything related to CBD or even use it topically if they're in drug testing positions. But lawmakers trading stocks related to the laws they make is NBD. 🙄
Whether it's the unearthed remains of indigenous children at a boarding school, or finally a visit to Tulsa by a president 100 years later, one thing is clear: We cannot move forward until we acknowledge the atrocities of the past. We must teach true history, however painful.
