You must read this account because it will make you understand how evil Ghislene Maxwell & how heinous it is for Trump to even consider pardoning this monster. Kudos to the late Virginia Giuffre for her bravery and battle to redeem her young and vulnerable self www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Tech oligarchs oppose the idea of any supposedly undeserving person getting financial help from the government in 2025. But they want you to believe they’ll give *everyone* free money in the future.

It doesn’t make any sense, but it’s the techno-utopian lie they will keep selling.

Do you hear that, World? I'm somebody! I'm. Some. Body.

Great reporting from Matt Novak here. His experience is exactly the same as my own. The protest was incredibly positive and fully peaceful, until suddenly the police swept in and got violent.

Great reporting, Matt. I was at the same protest at the same time and experienced the exact same thing.

They only have to detain, deport, or disappear a quite small critical mass of people for the chilling effects of authoritarianism to spread throughout the entire population.

It doesn’t have to happen to you to change your behavior and your world entirely.

Things are rapidly going from "I'm scared for this country" to "I'm scared to be in this country."

Trump has directed the Department of Justice to stop pursuing crypto fraud, dismantling the DOJ’s National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team and ordering the agency’s Market Integrity and Major Frauds Unit to cease cryptocurrency enforcement.
