Eh, I'm not sure I'd call it so unambiguously correct. Is it understandable, certainly, but this is fear he wants us to have so that people don't fight back. This is what the part about complying in advance is all about. Things won't get better if everyone or most people cower before he acts

He wants people to not act so that he can bulldoze through. We need people to be brave and to stand up against fear. Fear is contagious - just as courage is

Fish farms are not the environmental win they claim themselves to be. They can sometimes actually make things worse because they'll often take wild caught fish as feed too!

The sheer quantity of wild fish used in salmon farms is also a growing concern. About a fifth of the world’s annual wild fish catch, amounting to about 18m tonnes of wild fish a year, is used to make fishmeal and fish oil, of which about 70% goes to fish farms

Environmental impact is not limited to salmon farming either. All kinds of fish farms dumps large amounts of waste into the environment

For a world annual shrimp production [in fish farms] of around 5 million tons, 5.5 million tons of organic matter, 360,000 tons of nitrogen, and 125,000 tons of phosphorous are annually discharged to the environment https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3353277/

They can also drive deforestation in some parts of the world too

Conversion to aquaculture is the most prevalent driver of mangrove deforestation across the tropics over the last 50 years generating substantial carbon emissions. Preventing further aquaculture expansion within mangrove forest areas will be essential to achieve national emission reduction targets in mangrove-holding countries.

To get anything close to what that used to look like would take massive reductions in consumption and production across the board. Not just shifting what type of fish people eat. Having a lot, lot less of it overall

It's not just a higher population. Per capita consumption of fish has gone up quite a bit in the past decades, though has leveled off

Ah wasn't 100% sure if that was a metaphor for the chicken's brutal living conditions, or about the human slave labor in the egg industry

Don't worry, they've already got the prison slave labor part down

At the O.B Ellis Unit in Huntsville, Texas, prisoners manage an egg farm, farrow pigs and even maintain a parakeet aviary. Colorado Correctional Industries is a major producer of buffalo mozzarella — cheese produced by inmates there has made its way to popular chains like Papa John’s, Pizza Hut and Domino’s.

[...]

In 2021, Arizona Correctional Industries leased 92 workers to Hickman Family Farms, the largest egg company in the Southwest. According to ACI, Hickman Family Farms had struggled to retain workers willing to labor in what the company describes as admittedly “dirty” conditions. Thanks to this partnership, which generates over $7 million dollars a year in revenue for the state prison system, Hickman now has ample access to “motivated workers that can be relied upon to be at work on time” and who receive no paid vacation or sick leave.

Factory Farms Are Sourcing Their Cheap Labor From Prisons

Yep, all of them already do - including standard plant-milks! Have baked plenty with oatmilk and soymilk before and gotten great results with no issues. Had others try what I had made and they had no idea there was anything substituted. It's a one to one substitution too

Also can sub stuff like buttermilk too. Use a plant-milk and add something acidic (lemon juice, white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, etc). Can look up plant-based buttermilks recipes to find the ratios here

You can sometimes even just use water in some recipes that only call for a small amount of milk too. Though that is less reliable than using plant-milks

If you're not super familiar with using plant milks, I will note that coconut milk specifically has a very strong flavor which can change the overall flavor. This unlike almost all the other mainstream plant milks which don't really noticeably change the flavor when baking. I tend to only use coconut milk when a recipe calls for it specifically or you can lookup recipes that use it if you are inclined

Non-animal whey is already a thing you can get in products in stores today! Perfect Day is the main company I am aware of doing that. They use precision fermentation to do so. https://perfectday.com/made-with-perfect-day/

There are also groups working to do non-animal casein which is the protein in dairy-based cheeses that gives cheese most of its important replicate properties

Or you can also just go with other plant milks like oat milk, pea milk, soy milk, etc. Some types like pea-based plant milks emulate dairy milk better than others if that is what you are looking for

Aside about Rwanda - not only are they another dictatorial country, but they are also heavily backing the M23 militia in the DRC who have been committing some pretty horrible war crimes. Rwanda claims they aren't tied to M23 at all, yet things have been happening like Rwanda suddenly exporting resources that it doesn't have (that do exist within the DRC)

The war in the DRC has substantially less attention in the west than that of Ukraine and Gaza, but is still pretty horrifying

Oh hmm, maybe I had just heard people misuse it in the past? Had only heard it being used as a synonym for possibility in the context of "every eventuality" but other times meaning something definitive. Looking it up I see that it's supposed to just always refer to possibility

It is not an eventuality, it is a possibility that he tries

Thinking that everything is 100% certain to happen is how we get ourselves too paralyzed to act. We can reduce the odds of many things from happening by showing up and building pressure

Join protests, boycotts, strikes, etc.

EDIT: or maybe I apparently have misunderstood how the word eventuality is supposed to be a synonymy of possibility. My bad on that one

Musk will likely control elections going forward

Elections are run by the states themselves even for federal office. Notable race in particular for Musk was the Wisconsin Supreme Court race earlier this month. Musk poured millions to try to make it go the other way and tried to bribe voters with $1 million lotteries if they "signed a petition against activist judges". The Musk backed candidate still lost by 10 points

Don't do his dirty work for him and suppress the vote before anything happens. The fight ain't over till it's over

Lopez-Gomez was reportedly released Thursday evening after protestors gathered outside of the Leon County jail, where he was being held.

In good news, they were released after public backlash and protest. Protesting can work, boycotts can work, and so on. Don't let anyone think we can't act because we the people can

They want to take our rights, but we are not powerless to stop them. Fight back!

Don't give into the doom that Trump & Musk want us to have. They want us thinking we've already lost so we don't try to stop them, but the fight ain't over till it's over. We the people have power if we're willing to use it

Join on the streets, take a part in boycotts, join strikes, etc.

Don't just hope, join the fight back! April 19th is the next day of nationwide protests

Don't play into the doom that Trump & Musk want us to all have. The fight ain't over till it's over

If the Marshall Service does not enforce contempt, it is possible for the courts to appoint others to enforce for them if they are willing to do so. It would be unprecedented, but well within the bounds of what the law states

The rule begins in section (a) by instructing that, as a general matter, process “must be served by a United States marshal or deputy marshal or by a person specially appointed for that purpose.”

[...]

Thus, by its plain terms, Rule 4.1 contemplates that the court may appoint individuals other than the marshals to enforce civil contempt orders.

[...]

Even a rogue marshal’s service, in other words, is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law. If courts have the courage, the legal tools are there.

They aren't just protesting Trump here? I mean the tour itself is called "Fighting Oligarchy" which is about a system

Headline makes it sound like internal communications, but that's not the case at least currently. Still, we shouldn't rely on third party services for important info - especially one that sometimes requires login to view

I think it's unlikely they will do so directly given their other actions. Senate Majority Leader Thune has been pretty adamant about keeping it even stating he wanted to keep it in his very first speech this year as the new senate majority leader. I think the bigger threat to the filibuster at the moment is Republicans abusing reconciliation beyond what is supposed to be in there. Republicans appear likely to test the waters with bending the rules in the near future. This would be one of those piece by piece kinds of things, so more of a medium-term to longer-term issue

Reconciliation is supposed to be strictly for budget related policies and allows a strict majority vote without going through the filibuster and is only allowed to be used a limited number of times among other restrictions. The senate parliamentarian is the one who is supposed to interprets the senate rules and procedures including what's allowed in reconciliation. One of the requirements the Byrd Rule gives to reconciliation is that the bill passed through the senate it may not add to the deficit overall.

Republicans appear likely to ignore the senate parliamentarian and declare by themselves that extending Trump's 2017 tax cuts for the rich that will expire are "current policy" and not counted in deficit computations. By itself that doesn't sound that interesting, but the reason that's a little concerning is that the senate parliamentarian is also the one who decides if the bills are strictly budget related. For instance, in 2021 the senate parliamentarian was the one who frustratingly ruled that a minimum wage increase to $15/hr couldn't be included via reconciliation. If ignoring the senate parliamentarian becomes the norm, they could stuff non-budget thing into these massive reconciliation spending packages without anyone to say no

(It's also possible the Senate parliamentarian rules in their favor and they don't override what they say)
