CandidatePartyVotes
Kevin Kiley *Rep.69,067
Jessica Morse Dem.53,842

Remember that Kevin Kiley was part of the Idiotic GOP Failure to Recall Governor Gavin Newsom... 
The turning point for the campaign, according to Newsom’s strategists, came in the governor’s adoption of aggressive mask and vaccine mandates — both widely popular in California — and in Newsom’s avalanche of spending depicting his top Republican opponent, Larry Elder, as an anti-science clone of former President Donald Trump.

Headline: Who is Kevin Kiley and what would he do as governor? He's an Anti-Vax Freak!

Jessica Morse US House CA03 - A Democrat Seeking to Beat Kevin Kiley


Jessica Morse announced on Tuesday that she’ll run in Eastern California — in an attempt to unseat Republican Congressman Kevin Kiley in District 3.



Five years ago, shortly after the #CampFire decimated the town of Paradise, I went up to help. I filmed this video thinking I was going to help for a few days but ended up on the ground through the next month working side-by-side with local heroes who, with resilience, strength, and courage rebuilt their community. https://www.facebook.com/jessica.morse.336/videos/10215833174875001
I met a paradise school board member who had lost her home in the fire, but was going shelter by shelter to track down each of her students to ensure they were safe.
Emulating their resolve, I spent the next four years working every day to prevent wildfires like the Camp Fire. I didn't relent until we had a state-wide strategy and resources to actively mitigate these fires. We now have tools and resources to meet the fire crisis head on so other communities don't need to test their courage and grit like the people of Paradise. #ParadiseStrong #CAWildfire


When Jessica Morse sees a problem, she runs toward it and wants to help solve it. In Congress, she will do what she always does when facing a problem: listen and learn, find common ground to build a coalition of support, and put forth the best ideas to solve it. Jessica needs your support to protect what’s important – our homes from wildfire, our paychecks, our healthcare, and abortion rights.

Trump made it easier for the mentally ill to get guns when he rolled back Obama regulation...
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/president-trump-made-it-easier-mentally-ill-get-guns-when-n1039301
 
President Donald Trump responded to the El Paso and Dayton mass shootings by insisting Monday that “mental illness pulls the trigger not the gun,” but shortly after taking office he quietly rolled back an Obama-era regulation that would have made it harder for people with mental illness to buy guns.

Trump did so without any fanfare. In fact, the news that Trump had signed the bill was at the bottom of a White House email that alerted the media to other legislation signed by the president.

And it came after the House and Senate, both of which were Republican-controlled at the time, passed a bill, H.J. Res 40, which revoked the Obama-era regulation.

This joint resolution nullifies the “Implementation of the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007” rule finalized by the Social Security Administration on December 19, 2016. The rule implements a plan to provide to the National Instant Criminal History Background Check System the name of an individual who meets certain criteria, including that benefit payments are made through a representative payee because the individual is determined to be mentally incapable of managing them. (Current law prohibits firearm sale or transfer to and purchase or possession by a person who has been adjudicated as a mental defective.)

The Human Be-In, also remembered as the “Pow Wow” & The Gathering of the Tribes, was held in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco 57 years ago on this day back in 1967, in which the world was invited to join in spiritual togetherness.


The Human Be-In, also remembered as the “Pow Wow” & The Gathering of the Tribes, was held in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco 57 years ago on this day back in 1967, in which the world was invited to join in spiritual togetherness. It is generally considered to be one of the most important events in the hippie/counter culture movement. A prelude to the San Francisco Summer of Love, the gathering promoted key ideas of the counterculture ... personal empowerment, cultural and political decentralization, communal living, ecological awareness, and higher consciousness. Music, dance, and spoken word conveyed these messages. It featured “All S. F. Rock Groups,” including the Grateful Dead, Big Brother & The Holding Company, Country Joe & The Fish, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and a host of others including LSD guru Timothy Leary, Allen Ginsberg, Gary Snyder, Richard Alpert (Ram Dass), Dick Gregory, Lenore Kandel, and Jerry Ruben. Timothy Leary, set the tone for the Human Be-In with his famous phrase "Turn on, Tune in, Drop out." Several different posters and handbills were made for the event. This one was designed by Stanley Mouse, Alton Kelley, and Michael Bowen. I am fortunate enough to have the original plates to the poster & handbill here in my archives!
Also seen here is the Original Artwork to the poster…just WoW!


This was another incredible event that helped usher in my involvement in the Hippie movement as a kid of just 16 years. It was a beautiful day in SF. LSD was provided en mass by the legendary chemist Owsley “Bear” Stanley, who was also the sound operator for the Grateful Dead and is the namesake behind the famous Grateful Dead dancing bears. The Diggers provided free food to the crowds, which were estimated in excess of 30,000. It was a day I will NEVER forget! This gathering changed a lot of lives.....

Hofmann Collection
The Albert Hofmann Collection is a collection of around 4,000 scientific articles related primarily to LSD, but also psilocybin, BOL (an obscure relative of LSD), and a handful of other psychoactive chemicals. These articles were nearly all cut from original journals and then bound with tape into 93 cloth bound binders. It covers almost all of the world's scientific literature about psychedelics through the early 1980s.
While Albert Hofmann was working at Sandoz Pharmaceuticals, where he first synthesized LSD, he and his staff collected any journal articles, news stories, and mentions of LSD that they could find, cutting them from journals or copying them, taping them into binders, and organizing them into a sequential physical library.
In 2001-2002, with Albert Hofmann's knowledge and permission, Erowid accepted the boxes of Hofmann's binders' from the Albert Hofmann Foundation. We carefully disassembled the binders and scanned the documents. The digital documents were entered into a database while the physical collection was returned to Switzerland. The result is this digital archive, The Albert Hofmann Collection, available to the public through Erowid.
Will post link to collection in comments
#PsychedelicSynchronicity

Remembering ALBERT HOFMANN (RIP) on his belated birthday! The Swiss scientist known best for being the first person to synthesize, ingest, and learn of the psychedelic effects of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). Hofmann was also the first person to isolate, synthesize, and name the principal psychedelic mushroom compounds psilocybin and psilocin. He authored more than 100 scientific articles and numerous books, including LSD: My Problem Child.
“It gave me an inner joy, an open mindedness, a gratefulness, open eyes and an internal sensitivity for the miracles of creation. I think that in human evolution it has never been as necessary to have this substance LSD. It is just a tool to turn us into what we are supposed to be.” - Albert Hofmann, Speech on his 100th birthday

The consequences of Over Breeding. 


I am not exactly an Atheist but i have no respect for those who believe in Gods from Holy Books. The words describing any of these "Gods" basically describe them as super powerful human beings and therefore justify humanity being reckless and insane because that essentially is the only way that "Gods" are described. We are made in God's image and the only way to justify our tendencies towards cruelty and pure evil is by saying we are emulating and therefore honoring some inhumane supreme being. No one can describe or truly picture an all knowing and all powerful being so we instead make it out to be a being just like we are other than it is omniscient and super powered. It must be worshipped in order that we tolerate various degrees of indifference towards the welfare of humanity within ourselves and consider hatred and selfishness as holy and therefore desirable in ourselves.

and I said: 
reading about someone having a "Religious Experience" is so freaking LAME... Eat Psychedelics and have a religious experience yourself! Especially PEYOTE... It's Very similar to Moses and the Burning Bush...

Of Course, The US Government Does Do Some Useful Things! The FCC Makes Sure We Have Net Neutrality on the Internet... and the FDA Makes Sure that When You Buy LSD in the Parking Lot of a Grateful Dead Concert that it is PURE LSD and there is NO Weird Stuff in there... 

OMG! Neither of those Agencies Actually Do That!

The Merry Pranksters are a group of people who formed around American author Ken Kesey in 1964 and sometimes lived communally at his homes in California and Oregon. The group promoted the use of psychedelic drugs. Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters are noted for the sociological significance of a lengthy road trip they took in the summer of 1964, traveling across the United States in a psychedelic painted school bus enigmatically and variably labeled "Further" or "Furthur". Their early escapades were chronicled by Tom Wolfe in The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Wolfe also documents a notorious 1966 trip on Further from Mexico thru Houston, stopping to visit Kesey's friend novelist Larry McMurtry. Kesey was on the lam from a drug charge at the time.
Notable members of the group include Kesey's best friend Ken Babbs and Neal Cassady, Carolyn Garcia (also known as Mountain Girl), Wavy Gravy, Paul Krassner, Stewart Brand, Del Close, Paul Foster, Kentucky Fab Five author Ed McClanahan (also known as "Captain Kentucky"), Gurney Norman, George Walker, Sandy Lehmann-Haupt, Anonymous (Linda Breen) and John Page Browning (also known as "Rampage" or the "Cadaverous Cowboy").
A hippie was a member of a liberal counterculture, originally a youth movement that started in the United States and the United Kingdom during the mid-1960s and spread to other countries around the world. The word hippie came from hipster and was initially used to describe beatniks who had moved into New York City's Greenwich Village and San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district. The term hippie was first popularized in San Francisco by Herb Caen, who was a journalist for the San Francisco Chronicle. The origins of the terms hip and hep are uncertain, although by the 1940s both had become part of African American jive slang and meant "sophisticated; currently fashionable; fully up-to-date”. The Beats adopted the term hip, and early hippies inherited the language and countercultural values of the Beat Generation. Hippies created their own communities, listened to psychedelic music, embraced the sexual revolution, and used drugs such as cannabis, LSD, peyote and psilocybin mushrooms to explore altered states of consciousness. In January 1967, the Human Be-In in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco popularized hippie culture, leading to the Summer of Love on the West Coast of the United States, and the 1969 Woodstock Festival on the East Coast. Hippies in Mexico, known as jipitecas, formed La Onda and gathered at Avándaro, while in New Zealand, nomadic housetruckers practiced alternative lifestyles and promoted sustainable energy at Nambassa. In the United Kingdom in 1970, many gathered at the gigantic Isle of Wight Festival with a crowd of around 400,000 people. I was there! In later years, mobile "peace convoys" of New Age travelers made summer pilgrimages to free music festivals at Stonehenge and elsewhere. In Australia, hippies gathered at Nimbin for the 1973 Aquarius Festival and the annual Cannabis Law Reform Rally or MardiGrass. "Piedra Roja Festival", a major hippie event in Chile, was held in 1970. Hippie fashion and values had a major effect on culture, influencing popular music, television, film, literature, and the arts. Since the 1960s, many aspects of hippie culture have been assimilated by mainstream society.
During the past few years, attempts to put on exhibits to expound on the Hippies or Summer of Love or of Woodstock was and is well meant, but somewhat futile as is like trying to capture lighting in a bottle….. Nice try, but (IMHO) …no cigar. The philosophies of the true Hippie does still live on but these days to run across a true Hippie is a lot harder than you may think. Alas…..keep your eyes open, they’re still out there just the same, but not always where you may think them to be.
Still lett'in MY Freak Flag Fly!

and then SC Replied:
I was born too late to be a TRUE Hippie (1962), but I am & always will be a Hippie in my Heart. I got on the Grateful Dead bus in 1980 & never got off 
☮️❤️ I've kept the ideals of peace, love & environmental activism my whole life! I'm married to a slightly older, late blooming Hippie as well. (40yrs next month!)

and then SD Said:
A hippie was a lifestyle choice not a person or thing we lived on in our lives with a acceptance mindset that went beyond being liberal it was being truer to our inner spiritual self and a willingness to accept that we may not change others but we could change ourselves I know many that have not changed a bit and some who have but I judge not least I believe in the inherent ability of our creator to give us strength to adapt to change and still be able to be a hippie at our core Loving caring forgiving gentle and generous humans...

and SOC Said: 
Very well explained and very accurate. I lived it and my inner Hippie lives on at age 70. I'm so glad to have come up in that Era, with all the great music, experimentation, play, and fantastic creativity. We were encouraged to be ourselves, not clones. We were colorful, to say the least. And we were well intentioned, with perhaps an air of too much naiveté....I so agree with you that the summer Hippie Fests are just so wanna- be and syrupy. You really had to live it to really get it. It truly was spontaneous and very organic. To recreate it just isn't possible in today's world. Blessed am I have to have been part of that scene while it lasted.

Aoxomoxoa Hawaii Concert Poster

• HOLY GRAIL of ROCK POSTERS •
One of the most rare and sought after psychedelic rock posters from any era. From the summer of 1969 comes this Hawaiian Aoxomoxoa by the late & legendary Rock Artist Extraordinaire Rick Griffin. It was for a show that was CANCELLED so the posters are very few and far between, only a couple of dozen are known to exist! Griffin did the first Aoxomoxoa for a series of shows the Grateful Dead did in January of 1969 at the Avalon ballroom, and the Dead in turn, flipped that artwork into the cover of their third album. Griffin reworked the art from those shows, into the Hawaiian Aoxomoxoa. This poster is SOOOOO VERY rare. It was for an event in Hawaii, that was supposed to be for three days at the Honolulu international Center in Honolulu Hawaii. Besides the Dead, It's a Beautiful Day was also on the bill. Can you imagine how many hours went into this poster ?!
The shows were cancelled, the promoter never paid the printer, and the printer threw most of the items in the trash can. Of course there wasn't a collectors market for these items at the time. Legend has it that Rick Griffin captured a few before they were thrown out and brought them back on the plane with him. A few of the cut ones, and a few of the ones with the handbills still not cut off of them. These are the ONLY remaining ones that have survived.
And so it was on this day 54 years ago that the Aoxomoxoa Tour with the Grateful Dead, It's a Beautiful Day and Starchild at the Honolulu International Center was "supposed" to take place. The second reprinting of this poster is somewhat smaller than the original and is recently beginning to rise in price as well. The second printing as seen here also has a white border while it is black on the original as you can see in my framed picture of the poster in the comments.

Aloha.... Share this rare one!
