Studying, writing on, & warning about the Christian Supremacist right since 2004. Before that, in late 90s I warned of global warming. Now, I'm hunkering down to weather the storm, & raising giant isopods in my basement, for fun and profit.

GQP has introduced S.4912 that will allow billionaires to fleece the US. Please call your senators and congress-people and tell them to oppose the BITCOIN Act!!! They want to create a repository that WE will *buy* Crypto Bitcoins that these billionaires and cartels can't sell!
Bitcoin are somewhat analogous to tulips at the height of the Dutch Tulip Mania - they're speculative assets given value by the madness of crowds. S.4912 would require the USG to trade dollars for bitcoin that billionaire techbros own (b/c they, or their pals, created bitcoin, out of thin air)...

This is absolutely horrifying. We must continue to tell these stories, read these stories, share these stories. We must continue to be shocked. We must not let this become normalized. These are human beings trying to live their lives in America, and this is what is being done to them.

Is this at all surprising? After all, Meta has facilitated genocide.
