There are concepts of a plan

We don’t need to legalize. If we decriminalized, then took the money for jailing and funded mandatory treatment, we could do what Portugal did in the early 00’s.

Minor clarification -Technically it was decriminalized, not legalized. Distribution will send you to jail and, after 2 or more possession offenses, you’re forced into a treatment program.

And sadly, things have started to get worse again in Portugal. Lately they’ve been sending fewer people to treatment, and surprise surprise, usage and deaths have gone up.

And that’s a symptom of media and social media echo chambers.

He’s definitely finished now

What do you think the Russian / right wing disinformation angle will be? AI video?

Germany, cutting down on knife crime.

The dumb sex offender who went to jail because he didn’t hide his shitty Romanian pizza when he replied to a Greta Thunberg burn.

Pretty sure it’s the other way around in many nations. The right’s goal is to meet the Taliban in BCE.

And, like with the US, you now have progressives inheriting a house that conserves shat in for over a decade. Austerity, Brexit, etc.

I’m curious to see how good Britain’s long term memory is. America forgets about the dangers of conservatism all too quickly.

Apparently those Bieber bangs made it all the way to Russia a decade ago.

People talk about Biden all the damn time when Trump’s court corruption comes up. If I had a dollar for every time I saw a thread about Biden changing the court via packing or using the “official act” ruling, I’d be a rich man.

People aren’t getting grumpy at you because you’re bringing up Biden, they’re getting grumpy because you want to start talking about Gaza in court corruption comment thread.

Lemmy’s got noooo shortage of Gaza articles with comments that shit on the current president’s policies. And yes, since this is an election year, they also talk about his opponent’s policies in the region. That guy is winning in the polls and has policies that would be even worse for civilian deaths in that area. Those of us that care about saving civilian lives want to reduce military aid, not double down.

Paying a pornstar? Now that is just unacceptable!

That person wasn’t complaining about the hush money, they were complaining about a corrupt court system, that bends the law in extreme ways, to let their appointer commit crimes without consequences.

[Bolivia] has seen about 190 coups, as well as military dictatorships and revolutions, since it gained independence in 1825.

Jesus Christ. That country fucking loves coups.

I guess talk show hosts did get about a decade out of that dick joke.

A reference that no one under 40 will get.

Transportation in general usually has a lot of public funding and government involvement. Tend to be common for air, sea, rail, and car transport solutions.
