"where are the protests" is a reflection of how many people's sense of reality is intermediated by billionaire owned social media and billionaire owned news media, both of which have strategically suppressed cover of the scale and frequency of 2025 protests
The “Where are the protests?” lament after Trump’s inauguration was always based on a (willful) misperception. Over the past year, protests have been far more numerous, more geographically widespread, and more sustained than what we saw in 2017, for instance.

Robin Hood is, and always has been, a self-important, anti-tax asshole with a misguided belief in palliative philanthropy and entitlement to eat meat that doesn’t belong to him. His story is different on newly-independent Mars, told by the infamous Sheriff of Nottingham. #Q #A #SF #QuestPit

Despite the extreme premise this book is chillingly realistic. It is only more clear today that society will twist anyone to be less than human if it will protect comfort or create profit. A hard read.

NASA’s Perseverance Rover drilled into Mars’s Jezero crater and pulled up a piece of mudstone covered in markings that resemble those left behind by metabolizing microbes on Earth. More investigation is needed but still, the finds are incredibly exciting.

If a corporation can be a person, a mountain certainty should be. Let's slippery-slope this to a utopian conclusion.
Taranaki Maunga on New Zealand’s North Island was granted legal personhood. By treating the mountain as a living legal entity, it now holds rights to protection, preservation, and the ability to initiate legal action. buff.ly/gMsVXRW
