I Worry, but I Fight From Marc | Despite that worry, I cannot stop standing up for what is right. I cannot turn a blind eye to injustice.

“Are you worried?” That is always the first question.

Trump threatens to put American citizens on deportation flights to a slave prison in El Salvador

American civil society is full of abject cowards, that is the issue. The government is a mafia state but it is winning because most American elite institutions are devoid of anything resembling integrity and are folding rather than stand on principles that were little more than marketing.

If there's one thing that domestic violence research has taught me, it's that abusers set up no-win scenarios. They punish you whether you cooperate with them or whether you push back.

NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law:

Just to be clear, a big reason @altssa.altgov.info and I are here is because it's painfully obvious to employees that SSA is being sabotaged. They want it to break so they can kill it and blame us.

We need all your help to spread the word far and wide so these people can't escape responsibility.

The Ukrainian city of Bakhmut today after it was “liberated” by Rascists

It’s why there’s such an appetite for independent news. You’re real with people about what’s happening in plain sight and to them it feels like you’ve uncovered these massive hidden truths. It’s honestly scary.

Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife.

Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped.

We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

“If the state can deprive an individual of his freedom simply because of his politics, which is what appears to have happened [to Mahmoud Khalil], then no one is safe,” @adamserwer.bsky.social writes: theatln.tc/87FfKC8B

Musk is attempting to blame Ukraine for the X cyberattack, but word has already spread that it was a false flag. What is a false flag? A false flag operation is an act committed to disguise the actual source of responsibility and shift blame onto another party.

-not all jews support israel
-criticizing israel is not the same as being antisemitic
-being pro-palestine does not equal being pro-hamas
-arresting someone for being pro-palestine is a violation of the first amendment
-violating someone’s first amendment rights is bad

UN Resolution on the Day of Hope and Peaceful Coexistence. You really can’t make this up

They want to keep it quiet, so you know what to do.

‘Startup Nation’ Groups Say They’re Meeting Trump Officials to Push for Deregulated ‘Freedom Cities’ The architects of projects like Próspera are drafting legislation to create US cities that would be free from federal regulations.

truly dystopian.

well I for one am really starting to question this administration's commitment to free speech

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

Today I rooted on the lady who was doing up-and-downs of the speed line stairs. Told her that was a great idea. We had a little 15 second chitchat while she was on the move and then told each other to have a good day.

If, for example, Trump says nobody is allowed to dance, on penalty of death, he has no legal power to make that declaration and no power to enforce it, but if everyone stops dancing it's as good as if he did. Reporting as though Trump has these powers helps give him those powers.

Canada goose fights off bald eagle in rare, symbolism-laden battle on ice Photographer captures 20-minute clash between birds emblematic of Canada and US amid high trade tensions

‘“Nature has its way of taking out the weak and the not so well and the injured. The eagle likely thought it would be able to take it out quite easily,” Sequeira [the Ontario-based photographer] said. “But, it wasn’t.””
