    And there you have it folks. The big reveal. Trump, with help from who else, Elon, is taking all the dumbshits that follow him for a ride with crypto. Why crypto? Because it’s essentially trillions of dollars of unregulated, untraceable, revenue stream without legal scrutiny. No pump and dump has been successfully challenged and nearly every “influencer” (which let’s face it, that’s what Trump is) at one point has cashed in.

    Yeah. It’s not very clever. But it’s Trump and Elon. Two people not know for their brains.

    Coffee didn’t hit my brain before reading the headline; I thought this was an app to report ICE sightings lol

    (Maybe someone on F-droid could get on that?)

      We’ve got a hotline in Colorado! (844) 864-8341 They verify reports and share info with the community, and dispatch volunteer legal observers and immigration attorneys. Not sure if orgs in any other states have stood up something similar.

    The parrallels to the persecution of jews in WW2 is massive. This is very similar to how it played out back then

      Its extremely disturbing, im very hesitant to use the word fascism (as it has been massively over used muting its true meaning) but what we are now seeing is just that. I pray Americans can find a way to stop this insanity.

        No. The meaning has been true for a while. People just ignored the signs because it was inconvenient to stamp it out sooner.

          Im not going to debate this, it has been overused in the last decade leading to people rolling their eyes somewhat when its used.

            No it hasn’t. It’s just that whenever you call a facist a facist they say “You call everyone a facist!”. This is how they work - they deny, delay and downplay any critique.
