The Supreme Court just re-legalized conversion therapy. Yet if it were effective, there'd be a hell of a lot less straight women.

It's clear that rightwing agitators are flocking to Portland to distort what's happening, pick fights, and create incidents so the Trump Administration can escalate their punitive plans. As this piece by the Star Tribune lays bare, those plans include turning the US military against Americans.

Portland enacts emergency powers of nudity to check federal overreach.

As global markets turn away from the US dollar/Treasury market, it's prudent for the skeptical Left to start understanding Bitcoin. Love it or Hate it, at least understand it.

McGovern: People voted for lower egg prices, not for a Middle East Mar-a-lago. People did not vote to send their sons and daughters into the tunnels of Gaza so that Jared Kushner and Donald Trump can build Trump Tower Gaza.

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

The image is from a "Transparency Center" document and lists guidelines regarding acceptable and prohibited content for insults. It mentions:

1. Insults about:

Character, such as cowardice, dishonesty, criminality, and sexual promiscuity or immorality.

Mental characteristics, including but not limited to accusations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, as well as unsupported comparisons among politically correct (PC) groups based on inherent intellectual traits.

2. Highlighted section:

The document allows allegations of mental illness or abnormality when tied to gender or sexual orientation, referencing political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality. It also acknowledges the non-serious use of terms like "weird."

I am proof that being queer and being pro Bitcoin are not mutually exclusive. Admittedly, I am in a tiny club. Lots of loud Libertarian bros and, ironically, Sen. Elizabeth Warren framed this as needlessly partisan and paternalistic.

I'm delighted by the healthy skepticism the BlueSky community shares for mainstream media. Yet, I'm continuously shocked by the anti-Bitcoin rhetoric that's constantly regurgitated. The Left will lose more elections if we conclude a decentralized monetary system belongs exclusively to the Right.

Your argument that a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is needed as a "bailout" would imply a belief that Bitcoin holders are in financial trouble. Since Bitcoin ETFs are fastest growing ETFs in history, and Larry Fink's company owns the biggest, perhaps you think he may need one?

100

Nicole @paradoxpdx.bsky.social · 31/12/2024

Ha, in fact I do. Blackrock has to custody the Bitcoin on behalf of its investors. So, again, do you think Larry Fink will need a bailout?

100

Nicole @paradoxpdx.bsky.social · 31/12/2024

Respectfully, Bitcoiners won't need a bailout. Crypto shills are decidedly not Bitcoiners. I'm agnostic on a BSR. If you're opposed, I hope you dig in deeper. For example, Blackrock investors now own the most Bitcoin. Do you think Larry Fink is a Crypto shill that needs a bailout?

Bitcoin is unique among crypto because it is decentralized. No government or corporation or group of billionaires controls the open network.

I agree there isn't an urgency for a reserve. Bitcoin Policy Institute lays out a compelling national security case for it. They also argue SBR would strengthen the dollar. Energy consumption is a major concern to be thoughtfully mitigated. Mining helps stabilize the grid, too. It's nuanced.
