The document discusses how cannabis legalization exposes a disconnect between politicians and the public. Most Americans now support legalizing cannabis for medical and recreational use, yet politicians have been slow to change policies. The upcoming presidential election features candidates like Biden who have historically opposed cannabis but are now calling for decriminalization. The author argues this does not go far enough and that the election could mark the end of the "old regime" of politicians out of touch with current public opinion on cannabis legalization.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

How Cannabis Exposes the Disconnect
between the People and Politicians
People want marijuana legalization but the Politicians still ght it, why?

How Cannabis Exposes the Disconnect between the People
and Politicians
Since the early 1900s, cannabis has been a point of contention within the United States and the world. The plant has
been demonized and used as political fodder to support a particular narrative that bene tted a small bundle of
organizations and industry.
3. 9/9/2020 How Cannabis Exposes the Disconnect between the People and Politicians
https://cannabis.net/blog/opinion/how-cannabis-exposes-the-disconnect-between-the-people-and-politicians 4/14
I’m not going to rehash the 50-year state-sponsored propaganda against the plant nor the origins and character of the
architects of the policies. As the decades rolled by – the proponents of legalization fought long and hard to convince the
world that “cannabis is not what the government claims it to be”.
In 2020 – the acceptance for cannabis is at all-time high. Some 94% in the US are in favor of medical cannabis and nearly
as much for complete legalization.
There’s even some political clout these days around the idea of legalization. Even though in the US federal legalization is
still not on the books – enough states have legalized in one shape or manner to indicate that cannabis will eventually be
legalized federally as well.
Which brings us to the two options for President in November. On one hand we’ve got Trump who has certainly not
been one of the more popular presidents in the history of the US. He has been on record saying that he doesn’t care if
cannabis is legalized, that is should be a state issue, but also as not done anything to advance the issue of legalization.
4. 9/9/2020 How Cannabis Exposes the Disconnect between the People and Politicians
https://cannabis.net/blog/opinion/how-cannabis-exposes-the-disconnect-between-the-people-and-politicians 5/14
In fact – there is absolutely no talks of legalizing cannabis from the Trump side.
On the other hand we have Biden – an old “drug warrior” who made his name in politics as being the toughest “blue
politician” out there. He was once quoted saying that “Bush wasn’t tough enough” when it came to drug laws. Biden’s VP
Kamala Harris is in favor of legalization – now – but wasn’t always in the past.
Harris however, does seem to be leaning more to the legalization route – despite the fact that Biden’s o cial policy is
decriminalization.
Some politicians aren’t too happy…
In particular, Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) was vocal about Biden’s approach to cannabis saying,
“It is demanded by the American public. It’s no longer controversial,” Blumenauer, who is co-chair of the Congressional
Cannabis Caucus, said of legalization. “For the campaign to talk about decriminalization is essentially meaningless. Your
grandmother is for decriminalization.” - Source (https://www.marijuanamoment.net/bidens-marijuana-
decriminalization-plan-is-meaningless-democratic-congressman-says/)
And he’s right. As mentioned – Americans are overwhelming in favor of legalization. People have awoken to the idea
that regulation works better than incarceration and that tax dollars could be better spent in prevention and education
than ramping up the drug war.
“Over two-thirds of the American public supports full legalization. A majority of Republicans support full legalization. An
overwhelming majority of young people,” he went on to say. “I think that’s where we’re going. I’m optimistic that, before
the election, we’ll get a better statement. But ultimately, what’s going to matter is what we do in Congress and we are
poised, maybe even this Congress, to fully legalize, but certainly in the next Congress.”
The Last Presidents of the Old Regime
I sincerely hope that this November elections sees the last dinosaur politician sit in a place of power. It’s become
painfully obvious that the people who are trying to run the country do not share the same values as the rest of the
country – at least when it comes to cannabis.
5. 9/9/2020 How Cannabis Exposes the Disconnect between the People and Politicians
https://cannabis.net/blog/opinion/how-cannabis-exposes-the-disconnect-between-the-people-and-politicians 6/14
Biden and Trump are remnants of an old regime. A place where “big wigs” made “Big decisions” and “grabbing them by
the puss” was A-okay. Biden used to sni little girls without people making too much of a fuss about it – but today, none
of that is okay.
Perhaps – there needs to be an age limit on presidents. If we’re trying to get the “best of us” to lead us – then perhaps
we should exclude those who are starting to become senile. If you take a step back and look at both of the candidates –
they both look like they are on a heavy regimen of drugs just to get by.
Cannabis is the divider…
While what Blumenauer said was true – “even your grandma is for decriminalization” – it continues to show us who are
at odds with the will of the American people. Biden and Trump are playing politics when there are people being
arrested for cannabis. Instead of simply saying, “enough is enough” they still have to appease their base – and this is
why both are such terrible options. The base of both of these candidates are fringe versions of the American people.
In fact – both left and right sound eerily the same, arguing over their candidates with blind faith and sacri cing their
own values to suit that of their party leader.
Most Americans – and the world – just wants to make a livable wage, be relatively safe in the streets, have a home and
have access to food and medicine. Cannabis being both food and medicine.
Let’s hope – that this year’s election marks the end of the old and the beginning of the new – no matter which way it
swings.
