Alabama's parole board shot down every single case yesterday, denying relief to all 28 eligible people including this man, after he's served 12 of a 20-year sentence for MARIJUANA possession & distribution. He's at a minimum security work center where they work him for $2 a day.

The FDA is about to approve a vaccine - that doesn't stop Covid contraction or transmission - for an age group to which Covid poses almost zero statistical risk of death or bad outcomes. If you didn't think this was political, think again.

Mayor Adams is having fun with 20,000 maskless friends at Knicks game today.
Tomorrow he will force 3-year-olds to mask for speech therapy and Kindergartners to mask for recess outdoors.
Adult recreation once again takes precedence over children’s developmental needs.

You can’t change the past, but dwelling on the past can change you!
I don’t care what the topic is, you cannot live in the past. Never letting go of the past will never get you to your future.
