The repressor wants to require people applying for unemployment benefits to take drug tests.

There is no particular need for this, nor any justification. It's simply an opportunity for kicking people when they are down.

The US government imposes on many organizations the requirement to fire people for using marijuana even in states that have legalized it.

Even supposing that people should be fired for being high on marijuana while at work, it would be an injustice to fire them based on a test that shows they used it some time in the past month. Perhaps there is a way to legislate that such tests are not valid tests for use of marijuana.

US citizens: call on Congress to reform the laws governing national emergencies.

This is needed because the bully vetoed the bill to override his bogus national emergency.

The exercise was useful — it got some Republicans to go on record against the bogus emergency. But not enough to eliminate it.

A congressional override of an emergency should not be a a bill. It should be exercise of a provision of a law, not needing the president's signature.

Citizens of Massachusetts: call your state legislators to oppose a bill that would imprison some people if they drive and used marijuana in the past month or two.

Whether any particular person gets imprisoned will depends on how liked or disliked person is. I suspect that blacks will be imprisoned especially often.

A law like this would be acceptable if and when there is a reliable test for being impaired by marijuana at the moment.
