  • They told the crowd that a key focus of their visit was to underscore the Resolve Tibet Act, passed by the U.S. Congress last week, and aims to encourage dialogue between the Dalai Lama and Chinese officials with the hopes of finding a peaceful resolution between Tibet and Beijing. The bill should now be sent to the White House for President Joe Biden to sign into a law.

    Pelosi said the bill is “a message to the Chinese government that we have clarity in our thinking and our understanding of this issue of the freedom of Tibet,” eliciting applause.

    McCaul, the Republican representative, said it reaffirmed American support for the Tibetan right to self-determination. “Just this week our delegation received a letter from the Chinese Communist Party, warning us not to come here… but we did not let the CCP intimidate us for we are here today,” he said as people cheered.

    I like reading news like this :)














  • It would be really nice if we’d decriminalize soft drugs anyway. I mean mushrooms actually help addiction, and we have a lot of people struggling with addiction yet mushrooms are illegal mostly because Nixon was scared Tim Learey and other hippies would end his political career.

    Which of course Nixon did himself so why are the mushrooms still illegal?

    Maybe they are legal in Canada I didn’t see in the article. It only mentioned very hard drugs and cannabis as far as I could tell.

    Still, I blame Nixon. He got the whole UN to back the psychotropic drug resolution so he could continue his war in Vietnam
