Money laundering tech that destroys the environment! It serves no positive social function and smart people need to stop pretending it has any positive value.
There is zero legitimate reasons for any Democrats to support privitized CrimeBucks. Cryptocurrency is fundamentally a scam that seeks to destroy the US treasury and is backed by leading fascists.
It’s a complete betrayal of the people if Democrats help them.

The word is that @gallego.senate.gov + @markwarner.bsky.social are trying again to gather Dem votes to advance the shady GENIUS Act that will end up helping the Trump family to get richer off crypto this Thursday.
Call you Sens today 202-224-3121 ask them to vote against the dumb GENIUS bill.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.
It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.
