Pardon of Binance guy:
US DoJ said in 2023 that “Binance had become a hub for bad actors, enabling transactions linked to child sex abuse, narcotics, terrorist financing and money laundering.“
I guess the Administration can do that stuff freely now?
Or maybe it’s to suppress the EPSTEIN FILES!!

“Social Media is a negative space. You don't exist unless you say something vaguely original or controversial. And controversial is easier. The majority of people lack the capacity to articulate something original. That leaves only one avenue to being noticed - to existing."

My latest capture of the Andromeda Galaxy , our closest galactic neighbor, 2.5M light-years away.
It holds ~1 trillion stars, most with planets.
Yet it's out of reach. #Earth remains rare, fragile, and the only home we know.

To everyone shouting “no one is above the law” referring to that Milwaukee judge: We have a criminal in the White House. A guy who’s proven to be utterly lawless. And you’re perfectly fine with that. So take your “no one is above the law” bullshit and shove it up your ass.

I’ve been a little quiet during this election, but I did a lot of work before it started. Honestly, if you don’t know what’s up by now, nothing’s gonna change your mind. Anyway, here’s a little meme showing all the crazy shit pp voted against.

Dump just FIRED every single employee at the State Department’s Office for Democracy and Human Rights.

They were “eliminated” for being “beholden to radical political ideology.”

So I guess this administration sees human rights as an "ideology" now. 🙄
