AI detectors are massively flawed. They have terrible accuracy and have high numbers of false positives. Especially over short bodies of text like parts of one page

Same time as they dropped charges against Newark Mayor Ras Baraka for the same exact thing at the same event. They know these charges are BS. There is no logical reason to be putting these charges, especially a week later, other than intimidation

Overall in net, there is not much way around the fact that we have to reduce consumption and production of fish to end overfishing. Even fish farms often use wild caught fish as feed
Labels that get funding by producers paying to have them tend to not work out well. Massive conflict of interests emerge. Here's some articles ranging from 2013 to 2023 showing different problems with the MSC's labels
Scores of organisations have expressed concern that the MSC’s certification process does not properly account for bycatch, particularly of sharks and cetaceans. In 2018, a group of 66 conservation groups and academics accused the MSC of not paying enough attention to the protection of species not specifically targeted by fisheries.
Report: Half of MSC-certified ‘sustainable’ tuna caught with controversial gear
Biologist Susanna Fuller, co-director of marine programs at Canada's Ecology Action Centre, agrees. "We know ... that blue stamp doesn't mean that you're sustainable," she says. When asked if consumers should choose MSC-labeled seafood, Fuller pauses. "It's a gamble," she says.

SCOTUS Says Trump Violated Venezuelan Migrants’ Rights With Attempted Removals
(www.democracydocket.com)
State & local dem parties have, generally speaking, been better about standing up compared to the national party
Obviously not 100% of them, but certainly a lot more
See: States limiting involvement with ICE, tons of state AGs suing trump, Maine's Governor directly challenging trump's anti trans actions and winning, NY Governor challenging trump's threats on pulling congesting pricing, Illinois Governor signing an EO to limit the state's sharing of any Autism data with the federal government after RFK's registry comments, etc.
Unclear, but in any case I think this was more of a sign they were spooked by the pushback. People showed up to protest right away, and planned to stay at the protests until he was freed
Remember that we the people have power
Update, has been released from custody
As an update to this, they now have fully released her following a judge ordering her immediate release! Here she is speaking to supporters
The administration is also folding in many, though not all, of these cases. Just with 10x less media coverage
For instance, a week ago ICE released Columbia pro-Palestine activist Mohsen Mahdawi from detention after a judge ordered immediate release. Here's a photo of him leaving
Or when Maine's governor stood up to Trump's anti-trans attacks, he at first suspended federal school lunch funding to the state. But a month later he backed down
The Trump administration has agreed not to freeze funds to Maine schools, a win for a state that was targeted by the president over its support of transgender rights.

This is not to say what they're trying to do is not dangerous. This is to say they are weaker than they want us all to think
EDIT: also just now, Rümeysa Öztürk has been released from ICE detention after a judge ordered her immediate release earlier today. Here she is speaking to supporters
Maybe, maybe not. Don't assume it's a given that they will ignore it. This is not a defense of this administration. This is a reminder against always having the hopelessness that this administration wants us all to have. They want us to assume all fights are hopeless so we don't fight them
While they have very notably been ignoring the order on Abrego Garcia, they have followed some of the court order in other related cases like this
For instance, a week ago ICE released Columbia pro-Palestine activist Mohsen Mahdawi from detention after a judge ordered immediate release. Here's a photo of him leaving
Don't spread the fear they want us to have to stop people from acting. This is a nationwide protest - not a protest at the parade itself. This isn't the first nationwide protest against Trump recently nor will it be the last. There have been millions on the street across the US without incident on April 5th, April 19th, and May 1st. There were smaller nationwide protests on February 5th, February 17th, and March 4th as well

There's one important detail that you might be missing here: Republicans are coming for the filibuster indirectly despite profusely saying how much they valued preserving senate rules
They are overriding the senate parliamentarian to do this. They are carving out the filibuster without saying they're doing so. Right now it's on some more technical details, but they are setting precedent that they can ignore the parliamentarian. The senate parliamentarian is the one who decides what counts as budget related for reconciliation (which is used as a narrow way around the filibuster strictly for budget). If they can just declare anything budget related and ignore the parliamentarian, they can push all kinds of stuff through that they otherwise couldn't get through now
