[18:43] Forward blaft en bijt slechts een beetje. Matthijs Verheul schiet VKW ‘aangekondigd’ naar 1-1

Forward en VKW hielden een punt over aan hun wedstrijd en uiteindelijk was dat redelijk conform de verhoudingen. Forward was voor rust een stuk sterker, na de pauze drongen de mannen uit Westerbork meer aan: 1-1. Een arbitrale beslissing speelde een grote rol.

Five Questions About Trump's Alien Enemy Act Proclamation

A quick take on some of the questions raised by Trujmp's ... dubious invocation of
a 1798 statute as a basis for arresting, detaining,
and removing non-citizens with ties to Tren de Aragua.

Saturday brought with it a whole bunch of news about the Alien Enemy Act of 1798

In a nutshell, Trump signed a long-anticipated proclamation purporting to invoke the Alien Enemy Act against Tren de Aragua,
a transnational gang with deep roots in Venezuela.

Meanwhile, in a lawsuit filed by the #ACLU and #Democracy #Forward in Washington, D.C., Chief Judge #James #Boasberg issued a temporary restraining order
—first against use of the Alien Enemies Act to remove five named plaintiffs potentially being held under the Act;
and, by the end of a multi-hour hearing Saturday afternoon, against use of the statute to remove from the United States just about anyone being held under the 1798 statute.

The government has already noticed an appeal of both orders to the D.C. Circuit (where they have been consolidated), and has asked for an emergency stay pending those appeals,
so things on the litigation front may continue to move … quickly, including, perhaps as soon as this week, to the Supreme Court.

#ICE arrests #Palestinian protest leader at #Columbia, in sharp escalation of campus actions

Jewish groups and leaders immediately spoke out both in favor and against the arrest

[#Jewish publication from #USA]

"#BendTheArc, a progressive #Jewish group..., tweeted that President #DonaldTrump was playing on fears of antisemitism in order to pursue an anti-democratic agenda.

“The #WhiteHouse’s authoritarian actions are being falsely done in our name as #Jews, by a President and politicians who actively use antisemitism and do not speak for Jews,” the group tweeted. “We’ve been afraid this day would come since campus protests began. Free speech and education are pillars of our democracy, and a healthy democracy is what keeps Jews safest.”

The Anti-Defamation League ... praised the arrest while calling for immigration law to be followed. "

The Forward · ICE arrests Palestinian protest leader at Columbia, in sharp escalation of campus actionsJewish groups and leaders immediately spoke out both in favor and against the arrest

Last month, the Jewish-American news site #Forward reported a shocking scoop:
The #Heritage #Foundation,
the conservative think tank behind Project 2025,
is planning to “identify and target” Wikipedia editors.
Through analyzing text patterns, usernames, and technical data and employing social-engineering tactics,
Heritage aimed to reveal the identities of anonymous Wikipedia editors it believes are “abusing their position” on the platform.

In the culture of Wikipedia editing,
it is common for individuals to use pseudonyms to protect their privacy and avoid personal threats.
Revealing an editor’s personal information without their consent,
a practice known as #doxing,
is a form of harassment that can result in a user’s being permanently banned from the site.
Although this behavior is strictly prohibited by Wikipedia’s rules,
Heritage has endorsed these scorched-earth tactics in response to what it perceives as antisemitism among certain editors covering the Israeli–Palestinian conflict on Wikipedia.

"Your biggest opportunity right now is to keep moving forward while others are going backward!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

There's a pretty big divide between forward thinkers vs. backward movers.

The fact is, the divide is very pronounced right now, and those who were always moving forward are feeling pretty dispirited about things. What do you do about that?

Like I said months ago - follow the science. Keep the long-term trends in mind. Focus on growth. Chase your opportunities.

Above all, don't give up - because your greatest opportunity right now is to continue going forward while others are going backward!.

We've got a fundamental divide that goes far beyond traditional political boundaries. It's a divide between those embracing the future and those desperately trying to turn back the clock to an idealized past that never really existed.

This isn't about left or right – it's about forward or backward!

When change accelerates (and it's accelerating faster than ever), forward thinkers see opportunity in our increasingly diverse, interconnected world. They understand that innovation knows no borders and that talent flows freely across artificial boundaries. Meanwhile, backward movers are building walls – not just physical ones, but walls of ideology and resistance in a vain attempt to block tomorrow and preserve the past. That usually never goes well.

I've dealt with this issue from the stage for decades. As a futurist, I speak about the realistic trends that define tomorrow. Some folks get inspired by what I share on the stage - and I've learned that others hate me and what I represent. There's not a lot I can do about that, except work harder to reach and inspire the former, particularly when times are tough.

The question isn't whether change will come – it's already here.

The real question is: Which side of history will you be on?

Will you join those who fearfully retreat into nationalist nostalgia, or will you help build a future of sustainable innovation and shared prosperity?

The future belongs to those who embrace it, not those who fear it.

At times the path might be a challenge, but that doesn't mean it's the wrong path.

Futurist Jim Carroll has long believed there is a lot of powerful leadership insight to be found in children’s stories. Just ask Oblio.

Andrew Yang raised the level of awareness around UBI when he ran as presidential candidate in the primaries in 2020.

In 2021, he founded the Forward Party 🥳

Their slogan: "Not Left. Not Right. Forward".

If this sounds like your party, take a look at them and who knows, maybe even join them and work towards making UBI reality. ❤️

In the #Red Corner, hailing from a tiny piece of the #WisconsinFist most people wouldn't want anything to do with, our Speaker of the House, Robin Vos!

As you may have guessed, folks, he doesn't see many #challengers

Good for him. He's worth #millions and he's mayor ( #StreetMayor ) of his own #private #universe

The #problem is, he maintains that same level of "Street Mayor" #smugness when overseeing the House for the entire State of Wisconsin!

#BOO

#Forward march!

Good news from SE Wisconsin. The city I live in Brookfeild is inching blue. 46.16% for Harris up from 45.02% for Biden. This was at 35% 10 years ago. Even more impressive is the county we live in has been a Republican stronghold forever, went from 30.62% for Biden to 39.45% for Harris. Yeah landslide but almost 10 points is big. Now this is on line with suburbs going blue, college educated and at least 100k family income. It is pretty white out here though. #Wisconsin #Forward
