Any crypto investment is, at best, highly speculative, one effective hack from becoming worthless.
At worst, the US government is stabilizing the shadowy financial systems that make ransomware and other international crimes profitable.

I am certainly voting for and donating to Democrats in 2026.
However, the CEASELESS text messages asking me to donate/answer a poll/sign a petition on a website I've never heard of don't convince me the Democratic Party has meaningful, immediate plans to respond to the crises Trump is creating.

I can criticize previous US policy on Palestine and Israel all day, but Trump's latest statements on Gaza are uniquely terrible.
