It remains illegal to <em>sell<\/em> shrooms in the capital, but that\u2019s quite a progressive move for the Beltway!<\/p>\n<p>Taking things a step further, Oregon passed a measure that will allow \u201clicensed service providers to administer psilocybin-producing mushroom and fungi products to individuals 21 years of age or older.\u201d (We\u2019re thinking weed cafe, but for shrooms.)<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not all.

On top of a pandemic and unprecedented voter suppression (fueled by a partisan controlled US Postal System and a misinformation campaign against mail-in votes), there were lies, myths, and conspiracy theories thrown about left and right.<\/p>\n<p>Possibly the most dangerous \u2014 and certainly the most powerful \u2014 conspiracy theory to emerge throughout the Trump presidency is QAnon, and they scored a big win with the election of Georgia Republican <strong>Marjorie Taylor Greene<\/strong>. She\u2019s the first open Q-supporter elected to Congress after running a campaign \u201cmarked by her racist, anti-Semitic and Islamophobic statements,\u201d according to the <em>Washington Post<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>FBI<\/strong> considers QAnon, a group formed around a completely baseless conspiracy theory, a domestic terrorism threat. Marjorie Taylor Greene is a QAnon supporter. Therefore we\u2019re forced to conclude a domestic terrorist was just elected to the House of Representatives, which is NOT a comforting thought.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t believe us, direct your attention to the photo Greene posted on her own <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, of herself holding a rifle alongside Reps. <strong>Ilhan Omar<\/strong>, <strong>Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/strong>, and <strong>Rashida Tlaib<\/strong>. She was already threatening her future co-workers before she even got the job. How will she even be an effective congressperson if she thinks she\u2019s working alongside a bunch of \u201cSatan-worshipping pedophiles\u201d (HER words, via a 2017 <strong>YouTube<\/strong> video)? No good can come from this, and it\u2019s frankly disgusting that her conservative district endorsed these toxic views.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mississippi-trades-racism-for-flowers\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mississippi_Trades_Racism_For_Flowers\"><\/span>Mississippi Trades Racism For Flowers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In MUCH happier news, down in the Deep South, one state actually held a reckoning on its own racist history.
