#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.

Excellent study on😷#LongCovid:
New Long Covid paper: "3 year outcomes for #COVID19-infected (both hospitalized & not) vs controls in 2020 (i.e, no vaccines or antivirals). No matter our specialty, we’re all seeing these patients, & it’s serious."

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/

Red🩸states reject immigration reform that'd allow more immigrants willing to do the work with dignity. Instead, elected leaders insist on employing children💔, which is illegal in many cases. Will the DOL enforce the regulations?
The right-wing think tank set 30 policy priorities, including removing barriers to have 14- and 15-year-olds join the labor force.

The carnage in Gaza would’ve been even worse, if Pres Biden hadn’t intervened. It seems unfathomable bc in less than 2 months, the death, destruction & suffering is staggering, >14,000 Palestinians dead, incl. >6,000 children, & thousands missing, most, under the rubble💔 : “After the US detached 3 senior military officers in late Oct to advise the Israelis on strategy, they sent only ~1/3 as many troops into Gaza as they had initially planned🚨.” #IsraelHamasWar #Netanyahu https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/11/26/biden-white-house-divisions-israel-gaza/

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. DeSantis previously suspended Hillsborough State Attorney Andrew Warren last year. Andrew Bain, the judge appointed to replace State Attorney Monique Worrell is a member of the Federalist Society. https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2023/08/09/desantis-suspends-monique-worrell-state-attorney-prosecutor/

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
