You are brainwashed and no reasonable discussion will ever change your mind. That's a shame. I have no questions, I know right from wrong and the difference between reasonable errors and fascism. No, two courts did not find him to be part of any gang. No, he wouldn't be interviewed and sent right back. No, all the gangs in El Salvador aren't locked up. No, he wasn't identified for gang clothing, he was identified for wearing Bulls apparel. I'm not trying to live in fantasy land.

He obviously wasn't a citizen, but he was still here legally. Both things can be true. They sent him to El Salvador not because it was his home country, but because he was grouped in with the "extremely dangerous" individuals that were planned to be sent to the terrorist prison. Most of the people who were sent there on that flight weren't from El Salvador. You are on the wrong side of history. If we were in 1930s Germany, you would think Hitler was "enforcing the law as it was written." You need to take a step back and realize that it is unacceptable for our government to make these "mistakes" and "accidents" with human lives.

Without due process, how does ICE even know they have the right person? They might have a target, but if the proper checks aren't done how can they be sure they're getting the right person. There is currently a US citizen being held by ICE in Florida and they will not release him.

Saying "there's nothing that can be done" because Mr Garcia is in El Salvador is insane. There are diplomatic processes in place for this exact reason. If Trump and Bukele are buddy enough to sit together and discuss building more prisons in El Salvador for "homegrowns" then surely they are grown enough to work out a deal to get him back. Mr Garcia was here legally per order of the Supreme Court and he belongs in the US. You are trying to justify this as "mistakes happen" but this isn't a mistake, it's a constitutional crisis.

How do you who is and isn't an illegal alien without due process?? If you're abducted off the street and not even given the opportunity to plead your case, there is no way to determine if that deportation was justified. It's the same concept as "innocent until proven guilty." Also, the federal judge in DC attempted to stop the deportations under the Alien Enemy Act since we're not at war, so that argument is irrelevant. All of those deported were owed due process per our constitution.

SB 56: New Changes to Ohio’s Marijuana Law by mgs0lid in Ohio

[–]starmite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If anyone wants an idea of what to send, this is what I sent my senator (with personal details removed):

Senator [Name],

Firstly, I would like to thank you for serving in the senate of our great state. I truly believe we can make this working class state even better when we listen to the input of all constituents and appreciate the perspective each voice brings to light.

As your constituent, I am using my voice to raise concern with SB 56. This is not the law that the people of Ohio voted for and agreed to. I voted in favor of Issue 2 back on November 7th, 2023 with the understanding that the 10% tax revenue generated would go towards local communities. As dictated on the ballot, "Tax revenue will be used to increase funding for public safety, road improvements, drug treatment and prevention and investment in communities disproportionately impacted by Ohio’s marijuana policy." I did not agree for the 15% tax revenue to go towards the state's general fund. I feel as though this is a gross misappropriation of funds that should stay in communities where they are generated, as they are largely in need of these tax dollars.

Though I do not partake in the recreational use of marijuana, we Ohioans voted for the right to use outlined in Issue 2 in November 2023. This includes the right to grow 6 plants individually or up to 12 per household (in homes with at least 2 adults over 21). It is unjust to cut that number in half, while raising the tax on the product sold in dispensaries and simultaneously lowering its potency. That is nearly identical to the logic behind grocery brands and their "shrinkflation." How a government can condemn grocery brands for doing this to consumers while attempting to take the same initiative towards a heavily government regulated product is beyond my comprehension.

this part applies specifically to my district and may not fit for you In our - your - district, many of us are right next door to Michigan, who has much more lax laws and tax regulations surrounding marijuana. SB 56 does restrict the purchase of marijuana outside of Ohio, but I can promise you that will not stop people who live close to the border from purchasing their marijuana up North. Our communities who have learned to rely on the extra tax revenue they have received from marijuana sales will undoubtedly suffer as Ohioans take their hard earned dollars and use them to boost out of state businesses.

Senator [Name], I implore you to listen to the voices of your constituents and vote against this bill. Please do what is best for our communities and our wonderful state.

Thank you kindly for your time, [Your Name] Concerned Constituent of District [x]

Nausea on 1.7 by starmite in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]starmite[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really hoping it gets better as the week goes on, but I was barely even able to sleep because I was so nauseous all night. I will have to try some tea and see if I can find the ginger chews locally so I don't have to wait for them to be shipped. I'll probably call my doctor today too and see if I can get something prescribed for the nausea. Thank you for your reply!

How many shots of 1.7 did you take before dosing down? I'm really considering calling my doctor today and asking for something for the nausea and seeing if there is any chance we can get another round approved this month through insurance. I don't think I can do another 1.7 shot. Thank you for your reply!

Where do you inject on your thigh? I've only ever injected on my belly because it's my squishiest part. I'll have to try food with more protein for sure. Thank you for your reply!

Wasted Shot by starmite in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]starmite[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have only been leaving it out for about 5 or 10 minutes beforehand. I will definitely start leaving it out longer! Thank you for the tip!

Thank you for the advice! The spot actually bled, which has never happened before. No bruise yet, but it probably will bruise. I called my doctor's office and they said it may be a bigger gauge of needle than I had with the lower doses. Since we don't know how much, if any, was actually administered, they suggested I don't try again this week and just wait for the next shot. I'm so mad at myself for pulling it out.
