Trump & his family have made more than a BILLION dollars A MONTH in 2025, says Raskin "through the new crypto grift...makes the Trump Hotel look like a Cub Scout meeting"
Foreign dictators, strongmen, pardon-seekers and influence-buyers funnel untold hundreds of millions, maybe billions, into Trump’s memecoins and crypto scams, using the anonymity of blockchain and foreign wallets to hide the art of the steal.

I'm trying to trick my brain into using this app as the first choice. For whatever reason, my mind interprets threads as casual chit-chat with my pals but bluesky as a potential thesis. The pathological demand avoidance is real.
Perhaps changing the app settings here will satisfy my inner faeries.

Want to participate in a little social experiment? Notice and follow ppl following POC in stores.
When they ask if they can help you, open voice recorder and ask, "Do you and your managers realize that the actual thieves are using your biases against you?"
I'd love to see/hear your results!

Regarding gutting if DEI-Comprehensive research into the biology of humans as a whole requires including investigation into the biology of women. This isn’t a “woke issue” or a DEI issue, this is a scientific issue.We can’t go back to one size fits all again. That failed us before.🧪 #academicsky
FWIW... The law requires NIH to ensure diversity in its funded research, emphasizing inclusion of women... not females. Women. The law is on the side of diversity, equity, and Inclusion.

If you’re in an institution doing any kind of DEI work, the most important thing to do right now is simply call it something else. Change it to “Community Outreach” & then keep on doing the same important work. When they outlaw Community Outreach rebrand it as “Strategic Partnerships,” rinse/repeat.
