Every single crypto industry-backed candidate won their race.
Corruption wins again. We must work to elect ethical politicians, & for a govt that won't profiteer & compromise everything. It won't be easy.
#Crypto facilitates corruption, scams, money laundering, treason, fraud, trafficking...
JD Vance: “Democratic opponents pose ‘bigger threat' than Russia and China.” Vance, who’d soon succeed #TFG, if he wins, would also rule America as a fascist. “Listen to what he is saying. In the Fascist tradition, Vance considers the democratic political opposition of his own country an enemy force to be defeated. Ending US democracy is a win for foreign autocracy, and he makes sure Russia and China know his allegiances.” -R Ben-Ghiat #USPol #GOPFascists https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/video/vance-current-u-s-leadership-is-a-way-bigger-threat-than-any-foreign-threat-222772293910
#Crypto has no socially redeeming reason to exist. It's actually useful for is buying things on the internet that're illegal -not the sort of thing that causes big banks & investment firms & institutional$ managers to flock to something -or a currency. It's a digital bauble that speculators speculate on. Does the overseer of our nat. currency need to promote this made up form of money that proclaims that's goal is to displace our nat. currency?
*A nat. sec. threat.

Sad, there were only 11 Senators that voted for in favor of the resolution: The Senate rejected a resolution from Senator Sanders to require the State Dept to write a report detailing any human rights violations stemming from the use of US equipment & military funding in conjunction with Israel’s bombardment of Gaza since the #Oct7 attacks. #IsraelHamasWar #WarCrimes #IHL #HumanRights https://prospect.org/world/2024-01-17-attempt-congress-to-do-something-on-foreign-policy-israel-gaza-fa/
Fascism in Florida: #DeathSantis suspends the elected Orange-Osceola State Attorney Monique Worrell, he accused her of failing to impose mandatory sentences for gun & drug crimes & allowing juveniles to avoid incarceration.

Some of the Republicans’ 2025 platform has been released, which is good for voters, bc now they know how dystopian & dangerous their plans would be for America. Their would-be reign of terror includes, fascism, racism, lawlessness, regression, a federal abortion ban, gutting regulations, decimating the USG, esp. the IRS & DOJ… but their most disturbing plan would escalate global warming, which should be disqualifying. #ClimateCrisis #GOPSabotage https://insideclimatenews.org/news/01082023/far-right-battle-plan-to-undo-climate-progress-trump-win-2024/
Another dangerous RW operative: On Hanania's podcast, he's interviewed: S Pinker, M Andreessen, E Musk, P Thiel... Rich benefactors, some of whose identities are unknown, have funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars into a think tank run by Hanania which doles out cash to conservative academics. He maintains a creepy obsession with so-called race science, arguing that Black people are inherently more prone to violent crime than white people. #GOPRascism #GOPSabotage https://www.huffpost.com/entry/richard-hanania-white-supremacist-pseudonym-richard-hoste_n_64c93928e4b021e2f295e817?utm_campaign=share_twitter&ncid=engmodushpmg00000004
