A Massachusetts council has approved Gov. Maura Healey’s plan to pardon tens of thousands of people convicted of misdemeanor marijuana charges going back decades. The pardons approved Wednesday by the Governor’s Council will take effect immediately, although officials say it will take some time to update state criminal records.

Like “Slumdog Millionaire,” Dev Patel's “Monkey Man” is set in Mumbai and has a touch of fable to it. But in tone and texture, it could hardly be more different. Bathed in blood and fury, “Monkey Man” is one gory coming out party for Patel, who also directed and co-wrote the film, writes AP Film Writer Jake Coyle in his review. He kicks so much butt in this movie – at one point he punches a punch – that it’s enough to make you wonder if the search for the new James Bond ought to be redirected.

SFGATE columnist Dave Tobener is feeling optimistic, even with the early losses.

Donald Trump has routinely faced protesters as a candidate eight years ago and during his presidency. Thousands regularly demonstrated outside his rallies, blasting his immigration proposals and inflammatory rhetoric. More had voiced their disapproval inside. But as he runs again for a second term on an agenda that is arguably more extreme than the one he ran on then, mass protests are a thing of the past. Instead, it is Trump’s rival, President Joe Biden, who is routinely interrupted and confronted... Читать дальше...

In the summer of 2022, days before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, some 500 high school girls gathered in Missouri for a weeklong mock government camp in which they elected their own governor and seated an all-female Supreme Court that would rule on their own bodies.
