It makes sense to put criminalized populations first for cannabis retail licenses

In state after state that's taken the leap to legalize recreational use of cannabis - doing so in large part to stop disproportionately dragging through the criminal justice system thousands of Black and Brown people who peddle and use a drug that's no more harmful than alcohol - a cruel irony has manifested.

Missouri might criminalize out-of-state abortions. That's ridiculous

The assault on women's reproductive rights in state legislatures across the country has ramped up since the Supreme Court signaled in December that it might uphold a Mississippi ban on abortion at 15 weeks of gestation and dismantle the landmark ruling in Roe vs. Wade that protects a woman's right to an abortion.

No-fly zone is no solution

As days stretched into weeks, our news screens have been bombarding us with images of brave and determined Ukrainian civilians seeking shelter and sometimes getting killed as Vladimir Putin's war of choice exploded over their homes, schools, hospitals.

Putin's dangerous nuclear brinkmanship in Ukraine

Most Americans view nuclear weapons as a relic of the Cold War.

Europe steps up to welcome refugees

Less than two weeks into Russia's invasion, 2 million Ukrainians have fled their country.

Great inflation scam

It's not just you: All across the country, it costs more to heat our homes, fill up our gas tanks and feed our families.
