The most charitable reading is that your savings become crypto’s bailout, you eventually get made whole by FDIC on deposits below FDIC caps — but the bill effectively forces FDIC to cover crypto without paying insurance…& you might get screwed anyway if FDIC no longer exists 👇

Curfew was set for 8pm. LAPD started corralling protestors more than an hour before, not letting them leave, so that they could be arrested for violating curfew. Oh, and all nearby Metro stops were closed, so even if they tried, they COULDN'T leave. www.latintimes.com/lapd-accused...

LAPD Accused of 'Trapping' Protesters Before Curfew 'On Purpose' to Arrest Them for 'Breaking Curfew'
Protestors are accusing the Los Angeles Police Department of cornering and detaining peaceful protestors ahead of curfew on Wednesday to justify sweeping arrests.

Five years ago today in a historic ruling, the Supreme Court affirmed that LGBTQ people are protected from workplace discrimination. Our plaintiff Aimee Stephens passed away before the decision came down, but left a message of hope for the outcome.
A photo of Aimee Stephens in a black blazer and white shirt in front at a press conference. Purple text on the graphic reads "Firing me because I’m transgender was discrimination, plain and simple, and I am glad the court recognized what happened to me is wrong and illegal. I am thankful that the court said my transgender siblings and I have a place in our laws." The quote is attributed to Aimee Stephens, Plaintiff in landmark Supreme Court victory for LGBTQ rights.

This morning, I’m thinking about the children in Los Angeles waking up on Father’s Day wondering if they’ll ever see their dad again. We’ve heard reports of fathers being snatched from car washes, Home Depots, and swap meets. This doesn’t make L.A. safer. These raids must end.

There a reason the protests are being covered differently from the Tea Party The Tea Party was a front for the wealth class that owns the media and were used to demonize necessary reform These protests were democratic and populist, which the wealth class and its media opposes Hope that helps

The Supreme Court's official position is that Donald Trump not being able to *immediately* discriminate against trans people is an untenable legal emergency, and thousands of servicemembers losing their careers overnight is nothing to be concerned about ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/trans...

Whose “Emergencies” Does the Supreme Court Care About?
Trump argued that any delay in his ability to fire transgender servicemembers would inflict “irreparable harm” on democracy. The Court decided he is right.
