This IS Your Grandma’s Weed, says 85 y/o GOP Fan of Legalization

  Love us a good Grandma defending, growing, selling or using The Herbal Remedy story. "It's not Republican to support prohibition," says Houston granny and recently widowed marijuana activist Ann Lee. Who happens to be 85 and vote Republican. [Or used to, time will tell.] As this article and video

Homegrown Female Genital Mutilation In the U.S. Skyrockets

    This is a number that should induce massive gender-neutral outrage. According to draft statistics in a CDC study released to The Guardian and offered at Raw Story for our communal horror, the reported amount of women and girls mutilated and [surviving] victims of FGM in America has shot up from 168,000 to 513,000.

Unfurl your 'dress' rainbow and equality flags to wave high and wave proud - and let the euphoric, historic and speedy change wash over your progressive soul … and savor every hard-won human and civil rights moment. SCROTUS may have just made some equality reparations. Suh-weet! The United Stats of America just witnessed decades, centuries of LGBT oppression, sexuality and gender discrimination, and the lucrative political pay to play. Wisconsin and Utah are particularly satisfying, right? Was truly startled to hear Scott Walker throw in the gym towel … "We're done." From Talking Points Memo: "For us, it's over in [...]
