A 2021 #IOS update from #Apple let users opt out of tracking with one click. More than 96% clicked, costing #Facebook $10b in *one year*. The kicker? Even if you opted out, *Apple* *spied* on you, just like Facebook had, to fuel its own targeted ads:

We are so PUMPED to be back at House Judiciary committee to hear HB23-1187 Alternative Sentencing for Pregnant People #copolitics

We know that pregnancy is contraindicated towards a #healthy pregnancy & being incarcerated while pregnant is harmful to both the pregnant person and the child - #reproductivejustice is what we are fighting for today #copolitics @elephant_circle @S2SSisters
Correctional facilities are not mandated to track or report pregnancy-related data & most facilities do not have any routine process for collecting such information - another reason why we are saying YES on HB23-1187 #copolitics #leadership #reproductivehealth
I'm at the courthouse in #ColoradoSprings for the preliminary hearing of the alleged #ClubQ shooter. The suspect is charged with more than 300 counts, and the hearing is scheduled for three days.
I'll thread updates here throughout the day.

If you're wondering what a preliminary hearing is, it's when prosecutors must prove to the judge there's enough evidence for a trial.

2022 #Midterms Simulation: #ArtoftheGerrymander
A Republican House win will be built on gerrymanders (TX/GA/FL/TN/LA, etc.)
To illustrate the need for fair maps, I'm calculating the results using the 2022 votes, but if every state had a Democratic gerrymander. #ElectionTwitter

Methodology:
I’ll apply the difference in Presidential margin to the House result. Thanks @davesredist @mikemathieu @vest_team + @DKElections @PoliticsWolf
Keen to see how my maps perform over the decade; tried to comply with state law if partisan intent were allowed to stand.

Hello! I’m Sáde Cromratie Clemons. My work involves Eco-hydrology and fluvial geomorphology. I study tree response to flooding and how that affects carbon transport and storage. #Colorado #hydrology #gueSTAAR
When floods happen, big pieces of trees can be moved into or near a stream, causing a jam of wood pieces. Wood jams are pretty neat because they can store carbon. Since floods create wood jams, flooding affects how carbon is transported through forests and rivers.
Wow! That's a crazy logjam! But where did the wood come from? That’s what I try to figure out by looking at tree rings and isotope values. Last fall and spring, I took samples from a logjam near a stream and samples from hillslope trees in the same area for reference.
Hey y’all wanna see some #wins #chisme #copolitics celebrations & milestones on campaigns?! Join us on this 🧵 to get your #ElectionDay updates in #Denver #colorado starting with our FAVS @CBWPA 😍🗳❤️ #coloradovotes

#copolitics @CBWPA bringing it live to you from Veronika - local #community #leader and co-chair #denverliving #coleg #coloradovotes
Researching candidates for #Election2022 with a simple strategy: I won't vote for anyone who has cashed a dime of Big Pharma donations and/or ignored pleas for help from the #VaccineInjured like my elected officials @RepJoeNeguse, Sen @MichaelBennet, and @GovofCO. #VoteThemOut 🧵
I lean left on some issues and right on others so I've always been independent. I'm a one-issue voter now, and Democrats have by and large been hypocritical & abysmal in acknowledging #VaccineInjuries, censoring us instead. My elected officials in #Colorado have left me for dead.
That doesn't mean I'm voting straight Republican either. Just because one party sucks doesn't mean the other is the right answer. They BOTH often put special interests before the best interests of the people. Do your research. opensecrets.org

Day #5 of the #BannonTrial is set to begin shortly in the E. Barrett Perryman US District Courthouse in Washington, D.C. Prosecutors and defense make final arguments and the case then goes to the jury. That's the plan. #BannonTrial
Thursday's proceedings concluded with Judge Carl Nichols recessing to chambers to craft final jury instructions and ponder the defense's motion to dismiss the case. He will not rule on the motion until after the verdict. #BannonTrial
In response to Nichols' final jury instructions, which were emailed to all parties last night, Bannon's attorneys have filed a 10-page notice of objection. #BannonTrial storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Die Kernaussage ist und bleibt:
Es kommt zu keinem Anstieg - aber auch zu keinem signifikanten Fall im Konsum - selbst USA-weit ist das so zu bestätigen.
Was genau in CO zum Knick seit 2019 geführt hat, kann ich nicht sagen. Vielleicht sind Jugendliche verantwortlicher?

In der Gesetzgebung zur Legalisierung in CO (=Colorado) wurde festgelegt, dass die Steuereinnahmen aus der Legalisierung in Bildung zu stecken sind.
Allerdings ist damit Bildung ganz allgemein gemeint und nicht zwingend Aufklärung oder Prävention.
