Crypto isn't currency. It isn't even an asset. It is a financial virus designed to privatize money, let corporations run chit-based company stores, and cut nations & central banks off from their own money supply. Regulated stablecoins are a way for the parasite to get easier control of the host.

If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people off the streets to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.

Homeland Security tweets: It is absolutely sickening to compare ICE law enforcement agents to the Gestapo.

This should be bigger news: ICYMI - Project 2025’s puppet master Russell Vought just replaced Elon as head of DOGE. People still in denial & believe Trump knew nothing about Project 2025, need to explain why he just handed the keys to the whole damn thing to its architect. He is the plan. Wake up.

Wall Street Journal headline: “Trump’s Budget Hawk Takes Over the DOGE Agenda. First Up: The Military,” with a photo of Russ Vought. Highlighted text discusses Vought pushing for Trump to use “impoundment” powers to block Congress-approved spending.

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.

She’s right. And when your parent believes that the best way they can imitate their god is to punish those they love and that causing pain is somehow holy and just, they will not only harm you as a sacred rite, they will vote for people who do harm on a large scale and get a dopamine RUSH.

The law is clear: Americans are protected from being compelled by the government to engage in speech with which they disagree. By making passports ideological, argues attorney Miles Whitney, the Trump administration has turned them into government-compelled speech. Read more on Assigned Media:

Impossible to communicate to people that once you decide that a group more vulnerable than you can be sacrificed in the name of your own safety or interests that you have already entered into an tacit agreement that you can also be sacrificed in the interests of a group less vulnerable than you.

I could be wrong about this but I really think most Americans do not want to be forced to “do their own research” about food & drug & product safety and would rather that the government agencies that have been sorting that all out for them for decades not be obliterated in the name of “efficiency.”
