Insider trading… isn’t that a crime?
People should be calling this what it is, which is a crypto bailout. They're cutting cancer research so they can bailout rich, degenerate gamblers bsky.app/profile/ronf...
Let’s see, Donald Trump launched his crypto business right before taking office. Melania did the day before the inauguration. Junior launched a new one too. Oh, and of course Eric did.

U.S. Dept of Education sent a letter to educators across the nation… It basically threatens them with defunding and criminal legal action if they don’t immediately STOP recognizing and addressing systemic inequities… Throwing away years of research and plans to try to make education accessible.
