#RyanSelkis, a #cryptocurrency exec, was eating dinner at Mar-a-Lago last month when he got an unexpected invitation: #Trump wanted him to come to the stage & say a few words.
#Selkis, who runs the crypto data firm #Messari, was at an event for Trump’s #NFTs.
“There’s 50 million crypto holders in the US. That’s a lot of voters,” Selkis declared.
@Nonilex The key phrase here is "...jeopardize investments..." What's needed is an all out war between #oligarchs and #fundi-vangies. The rest of us sane people can sit on the sidelines with our popcorn.
Former President Donald Trump said Monday that if reelected, he plans to work “side by side” with a newly formed religious organization that says abortion is the “greatest atrocity facing” the United States and should be “eradicated entirely.”...
I think #Fico should now lead by example and enter into "peace" negotiations with his shooter, and continue subsidising the shooter's criminal activities, to remain consistent with what he advocates Ukraine should do about Russia's daily bombardment, shooting, #genocide and occupation in #Ukraine.
@rbreich#RobertReich has the ability to reduce mindboggling facts and figures down to statements of fact and numbers that normal, average humans can understand. Keep hammering the #oligarchs, Bob.
@rbreich If this is just legal, why haven't #democrats provided regulation in the past? Is it because democrats also take big money from mulinationals for their #election campaigns? That they complain now but ultimately approve of the country being ruled by #oligarchs and the big exchange #companies? #Electioncampaignfunding

Buying Silence: How Oligarchs, Corporations and Plutocrats Use the Law to Gag Their Critics by David Hooper
This timely and important book focuses on the controversial issue of #SLAPP cases – Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation – which are designed to censor, intimidate and silence critics by burdening them with aggressive opposing lawyers, heavy legal costs and enquiry agents until they abandon the case.
On December 13, 1889, Franklin Benjamin Gowen will die in his room at the Wormley Hotel, in Washington D.C., with a single bullet hole in his head. His eulogists will refer to him as the former president of the Reading Railroad, attorney, philanthropist, and patron of the arts.
The obituaries will say that Mr. Gowen inherited the intellectual and moral characteristics of his father, James, a pious Protestant merchant from Northern Ireland. Sobriety and piety, of course, form the foundation of good society, and Franklin was alike his father in this way. But James was also a staunch Democrat, a character flaw for which I have little patience. Their home in Mount Airy was the only one in the neighborhood without crepe after President Lincoln was assassinated. And James Gowen went to his grave insisting that there was nothing to those nasty rumors about James Buchanan, with whom he was close. Well, I knew Aunt Nancy, too. I can assure you those rumors were entirely true, though such behavior coming from a Democrat is hardly surprising.
The classified documents case will make use of a recording which indicates that #Trump had a highly sensitive document which he knew was NOT declassified.
The chain of evidence looks strong and while there is much news media spinning, a court of law is more rigorous environment where focus on fact is primary
I've been thinking a lot about the structural issues that plague Western democracies. My particular focus is on #USPolitics as I live in #NYC and am staring down the barrel of a nasty presidential election
Job 2 is to reduced the malaign influence of extreme wealth on democracy - this is a #Garch" problem which I go into on this #podcast episode. More to come in the next few weeks
