Khashoggi's Ghost @urocklive1.bsky.social · 2h

After Trump's tariff post, trillions vanished in hours. The S&P collapsed. Nasdaq crashed. Tech giants bled red. But a different kind of storm was already brewing — not on Wall Street, but deep inside the blockchain.

While everyone else was watching Trump’s post, someone was already cashing in.

Before that announcement even hit the airwaves, an anonymous crypto wallet suddenly transferred over $1 billion into stablecoins — digital dollars that hold value even when everything else collapses. Then, within seconds of Trump’s post, that same wallet started placing $100 million buy orders across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and multiple altcoins just as the market imploded.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

“If Argentina does default,” Ruhle explained, “it is a $20 billion loss for us. The Fed will be left holding a ginormous bag of pesos worth nothing.”

Unless there’s UBI or profit sharing of robotics/AI, the USA is digging its own grave.

See facts below. Profits just to the top AI owners will kill the US economy in the next 3-5 years.

Did you know that Vincent van Gogh sold only one painting during his lifetime ? Critics mocked his style, the public ignored him, and even his own family doubted his talent. Yet he continued to paint according to his own vision, writing to his brother, “I paint as a bird sings.”

Plump and the GOP constantly lie through their teeth

Plump's Lil' "Keebler Elf" Johnson thought it would be a good idea to take questions from the public. A man accused him of lying about illegal immigrants draining Medicaid. Johnson challenged the man to "look at the documents," so Jen Psaki did.
