In the abstract there's no inherent connection between crypto and being a malevolent, transgressive asshole. But the two things run together with remarkable consistency.
Sex toys are being hurled on the court at WNBA games. A cryptocurrency group says they're behind it – and planning for more.

The group says the acts are "pranks" intended to draw attention to their crypto meme coin and not meant to disrespect women athletes.

🚨I'm leading @oversightdemocrats.house.gov calling for a hearing to let survivors of Epstein's abuse testify before Congress.

This is crucial to getting the healing, transparency & accountability survivors deserve.

The right is trying to deploy its usual terror tactics against Texas Democrats and the state of Illinois. It won’t work.

With millions of people’s voting rights on the line, the stakes couldn’t be higher. This is the type of bravery and fight we need from Democrats:

Have you noticed not a SINGLE elected person has offered any HELP to ANY constituents who were FIRED en masse from the federal government? I haven’t seen a SINGLE ad campaign about how essential immigrants are. Not a SINGLE suggestion for how to prepare for loss of health insurance. NO HELP AT ALL.

History has shown that all dictatorships fail because of excessive greed, indifference, & total disregard for the welfare of the ordinary people. The majority of the misinformed who voted for the demise of those seeking asylum, like their ancestors will eventually face the same injustice.
