Yeah because bitcoins lack of regulation allows for widespread abuse. I expect the crypto bro's will challenge this post. Bitcoin has too many ways it can be abused & the law is taking a long time to catch up. Trump has started to reverse that to join the abuse.

World Central Kitchen | WCK Forced to Halt Cooking in Gaza as Supplies Run Out After serving more than 130 million total meals and 26 million loaves of bread over the past 18 months, World Central Kitchen no longer has the supplies to cook meals or bake bread in Gaza.

Our vital work cannot continue without permission from Israel for this aid to enter. Read more here: wck.org/news/gaza-update-5-7

WCK trucks loaded with food and cooking fuel have been ready at the Gaza border since early March. Additional food and equipment are ready to be shipped to the border from Jordan and Egypt. Our vital work cannot continue without permission from Israel for this aid to enter. #ChefsForGaza (3/5)

➡️ Large-scale WCK Field Kitchens have run out of the ingredients needed to prepare daily meals.
➡️ Our mobile bakery—recently the last working bakery in Gaza—has no flour left.
➡️ More than 80% of community kitchens have run out of WCK-provided stock.

Trump’s corrupt dismantling of the FTC will result in less accountability for corporations, jeopardizing Americans’ livelihoods and fundamental market stability. Trump’s friends, like the world’s greediest man Elon Musk, might benefit, but American families will suffer.

The FTC is independent and supposed to be free from political interference. Congress put it into law specifically to prevent a corrupt President, like Trump, from using it for his political and personal ends, doing whatever it takes to enrich his friends and donors at the expense of working people.

The FTC commissioners Trump tried to illegally fire are currently suing Amazon, enforcing a twenty year consent decree against X, trying to strengthen privacy protections for users of Meta, and working on numerous investigations or lawsuits against companies that donated millions to Trump.

Just recently the FTC has saved working Americans money by:

– Eliminating junk fees to stop deceptive pricing
– Combatting monopolization in our food system, preventing even more price-gouging
– Fighting for the “right to repair” products you own from tractors to iPhones

Congress created the independent, nonpartisan FTC in 1914 to protect Americans by fighting monopolization and business tactics that rip off consumers, suppress workers, and stifle competition. For over a hundred years, it carried out its mission under Republican and Democratic presidents alike.

This week Trump tried to illegally fire two Commissioners from the independent Federal Trade Commission. This politically driven overreach will ultimately harm working American families and consumers. 🧵

They lied.
