Here are some of the best signs from the 2020 Women's March. Today, protesters around the country united for the 4th annual Women’s March, where women and allies rallied in support of reproductive rights, immigrant rights, gun reform, climate justice, and more. Protests were held in cities like Washington, D.C., New York City, and Los Angeles. 

 

At one point, protesters gathered to perform the global feminist anthem ‘A Rapist in Your Path’ in Washington, D.C.. The song was first written and performed during national protests in Chile last year and has since been sung around the world. 

In New York, Evelyn Yang opened up about surviving sexual assault and why she decided to speak out. Evelyn, who is married to Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang, first spoke about being abused by her OB/GYN in an interview with CNN.

Some of the signs spotted at the protests included phrases like, ‘So much wrong, so little poster’ ‘Public Cervix Announcement: F*ck the patriarchy’ ‘Does this ass make my country look small?’

Are we really listening to what MLK had to say?

#MartinLutherKingJr #MLK #CivilRights #DrKing In 2020, the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday falls in a national election year, one that reminds us of the importance of voting rights, citizenship and political activism to the health of our democracy. King imagined America as a "beloved community" capable of defeating what he characterized as the triple threats of racism, militarism and materialism. The passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act, alongside the 1954 Brown Supreme Court decision, represents the crown jewels of the civil rights movement's heroic period. Yet King quickly realized that policy transformations alone, including the right to vote, would be insufficient in realizing his goal of institutionalizing radical black citizenship toward the creation of the "beloved community." King argued that justice was what love looked like in public. 2020 also marks the 55th anniversary of the passage of the Voting...

A Single Dose of CBD Reset the Brains of People at High Risk of Psychosis

#CBD #Psychosis #MentalHealth #Medicine #Neuroscience #Psychology #Weed P sychosis, a severe mental disorder characterized by a loss of grip on reality,  can include unsettling hallucinations and delusions . As no one’s been able to pin down a single cause of psychosis, it’s been even harder to pin down a treatment. But researchers behind a new JAMA Psychiatry study seem to be on the right track. In the study, they report that they’ve found a way to reset the psychosis-afflicted brain using an unlikely plant: marijuana. Researchers are increasingly finding evidence that the  active components  of marijuana can help ease symptoms in people with  epileptic seizures ,  chronic pain , and  post-traumatic stress disorder , but there’s much to be learned about its relationship to psychosis. The most well-known  cannabinoid  Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol — better known as THC — has  previously been linked  to the development of psychosis...
