I teach Admiralty Law, etc. at SUNY Maritime College. I have decided to go mostly silent on this real-name account for a while. But you can find me all squared away off Tremont Avenue in The Bronx @alfiesquared.bsky.social. Vids at tinyurl.com/diegovids

So you think maybe there was some method behind the madness back in November 2020?

They're also financially astute and fiscally conservative. I would surmise that they simply won't tolerate being "chumped" by continuing to fund after "fat-cat" US has decided to pull out.

I am genuinely puzzled as to why this marine conservation biologist and science communicator has blocked me on this forum. All I did was follow him. I publicly support the BBNJ and ocean conservation. Is it because of my affiliation with a maritime school? In any event, it has ruined my fucking day!

From the Bill: CRS "reports that Antifa literature urges followers to publicize information such as home addresses, phone numbers, photographs, and social media profiles of perceived enemies..."
But CRS report notes that this "activity often involv[es] lawful online research."

I believe that the โpath of the common law,โ as Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. put it, is also, as Carlos Castaneda put it through his character Don Juan, a โpath with heart.โ
