This is a good example of why Yang would be a good president. He bases his decisions on factual evidence. He looks at data rather than societal pressure or conceptions, and comes at problems from a place of empathy and morality. I think he’s the best choice.
A veteran in Davenport told me that psilocybin mushrooms were the only treatment he found effective for his depression after returning home. We should explore making psilocybin mushrooms legal for medical and therapeutic use particularly for veterans.
There are more than 450 demonstrations planned, in every state. It won't just be DC. People just have to know about them, and show up. I feel like everyone is waiting for the spark for a new wave of protests, but it's up to all of us to try and create it
