Mapping pot legalization politics: Not just red vs. blue
Jennifer Peltz, Associated Press Updated 12:12 am CDT, Tuesday, March 26, 2019 FILE - In this Friday, March 22, 2019, file photo, a marijuana plant is visible at Compassionate Care Foundation's medical marijuana dispensary in Egg Harbor Township, N.J. A setback for marijuana advocates in New Jersey may show that the path of legalizing recreational marijuana use doesn't run just along blue state-red state lines. Democrat-led New Jersey could still become the 11th state to legalize the drug, though a state Senate vote was put off Monday because it didn’t have enough support. The delay is a reminder that pot legalization politics aren't just partisan. less FILE - In this Friday, March 22, 2019, file photo, a marijuana plant is visible at Compassionate Care Foundation's medical marijuana dispensary in Egg Harbor Township, N.J.

New ‘Elseworlds’ Photo Reveals Ruby Rose’s Batwoman Stopping An Arkham Asylum Escape
Elseworlds photo featuring Ruby Rose in costume as Batwoman. The CW’s upcoming Elseworlds crossover will introduce Batwoman to the Arrowverse and a new photo from the episode offers fans a glimpse at the DC hero as she uses her grapple hook and Batarang to stop two Arkham Asylum inmates from escaping. Arrow consulting producer Marc Guggenheim discussed how the character compares to Batman and praised Ruby Rose’s performance as the masked hero and her alter-ego: “She’s a lot like Batman in the sense that she’s kind of a dick. Ruby’s amazing. She brings such a different color and tone. She will interact with our heroes both as Batwoman and as Kate Kane, so you’ll see both sides of that character and that performance.” Ruby Rose noted that while Batwoman may be stoic, Kate Kane will be opposite: “She is more fun because she’s a billionaire, she has ladies that love her.

Julie Hinds Detroit Free Press Published 6:00 AM EDT Oct 28, 2018 It's among the most famous paintings ever done by Norman Rockwell, a portrait of a little girl wearing a crisp white dress and carrying a book as she walks to school. Hate is beside her, scrawled as a racial slur on a wall splattered with red from a thrown tomato. Four federal marshals in tan and gray suits surround her, their heads cropped out of the frame. They are protecting the African-American student from the unseen crowds of white adults who gathered to taunt and harass her. The title of the painting is "The Problem We All Live With." Ruby Bridges was 6 when she became an icon for integrating an elementary school in New Orleans. Now 64, Ruby Bridges Hall devotes her life to talking to young people and fighting against the hatred that she sees on the rise in America. It's the problem well all continue to live with, even if some turn a blind eye to the … [Read more...] about A civil rights legend at 6, Ruby Bridges comes to Dearborn
