May The 4th Be With You
May 4th marks 55 years, when the National Guard opened fire on Kent State students protesting the Vietnam War. 4 souls perished that day.
Don’t allow this to happen again.
“Rebellions are built on hope.
May the 4th be with you.”
May 4 is often known as “Star Wars Day”.
It is jokingly said: “May the 4th be with you”, in reference to the popular phrase in Star Wars: “May the Force be with you.”
The phrase dates back to at least 1979, on the day Margaret Thatcher was elected Britain’s first woman prime minister. Her party took out a newspaper ad in the London Evening News that said “May the Fourth be with you, Maggie. Congratulations.

CORRECTION :
Arizona governor vetoes bill to make Bitcoin part of state reserves.
Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs has vetoed the state’s Strategic #Bitcoin Reserve legislation.
Saying it is an “untested investment.”

Not your keys, not your coins. #Bitcoin
When no one can afford self custody, trapped in custodians the government controls, when mining centralization is at the point that a handful of nations can agree to blacklist anything they want, when your KYC surveillance coin is worth 500k, remember how you “defended Bitcoin.”
Heads up, bitcoin holders:
The EU will ban anonymous crypto accounts by July 2027.
Every transaction above €1,000 will need your ID.
Privacy is becoming extinct.
Bitcoin’s superpower is transportability.
Not so much “sending it to someone else”, but “taking it with you”.
Real estate absolutely does not have it.
Gold does not have it.
Physical Fiat Money not have it.
Shares of US companies only partially have it.
Gold can be confiscated. Bitcoin can be verified and remains secure with your keys. That’s the distinction between physical and digital assets !
Gold can be seized.
Bitcoin can be proven — and can’t be taken without your keys.
Property rights are separate from mineral rights. lol. peasants vs elite claims.
5/1/25 Confirmed — French farmer discovers gold mine worth 4 billion euros in his garden, but the state confiscates it from him
by Laura M. 05/01/2025 06:00
His garden, but not his minerals underground.
If it is his garden, but not his minerals, it was never his garden.
Exactly. If your wealth’s on a leash, who’s really the pet?
Imagine if he found $4 Billion worth of Bitcoin keys, no one could take it from him
Apple Lifts IOS restrictions, now allowing #Bitcoin payments and ends 30% Apple tax.
IOS apps can now accept crypto, bypassing Apple’s 30% toll booth.
This is going to have a lot of implications.
There will be predictions on Bitcoin expiring daily. Get ready.
We’re in ‘Trading Places’ territory, says, with the market behaving like the machines can be turned back on

Global Liquidity and Bitcoin
Episode XXIII. Block Height: 864800. What drives global liquidity, where we are at the global liquidity cycle, and how does it impact Bitcoin’s price?

What Bitcoiners will discover over the next 5 to 10 years is that communism never truly disappeared. It simply rebranded and evolved.
It remains the mortal enemy of Bitcoin and the future Bitcoiners seek to build.
If you do not understand its history, with 100 million dead in the 20th century, you will inevitably underestimate the lengths it will go to in order to retain power.
The Bitcoin Power Law relationship was first shared by user Jim318 on Bitcointalk in July 2011. There is no reason to continue fighting about who discovered the Power Law.

The entire fiat world is a game of leverage.
Borrow at 5%, lend at 7%. Leverage up 10x. Make 20%.
Borrow at 5%. Invest in an asset yielding 10%. Lose 3% on bad bets. Make 20%.
For the next 20 years, the simple trade is Borrow at any Percent and Buy BTC. MSTR is simply the first (and not the last) realization of that.
Why send bitcoin to a black hole?
“1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE” permanently destroys BTC.
13.36 BTC gone forever.
Less supply, more scarcity, higher value.

Jordi Visser @jvisserlabs makes an interesting point with Pomp:
Over the last 17 years, the US Tech industry has had a huge advantage over Europe and the rest of the world, because we have had all the coders. Not easy competing with Apple or Google.
AI levels the field. Now a French or German team can compete with a US Tech Giant.
The impact: lots of smaller, but altogether meaningful companies spread out all over the world. End of US Tech dominance.
TRUMPSESSION

Scientists Deem Trump’s Latest Funding Freeze a “Slow-Moving Apocalypse”
The National Science Foundation has long been a crucial supporter of research and science eduction.
“Apocalypse.” “Catastrophe.” That’s how scientists are describing Trump’s latest funding freeze. This war on science is an innovation-killer. Where does Trump think things like MRIs, computers, touch screens, GPS, mRNA vaccines, and the internet came from?

When he put his hand on the Bible and took an oath to uphold the Constitution, what did he think he was doing exactly?

Trump, asked if he has to uphold the Constitution,’ says, I don’t knowl
Trump said on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that he’s following lawyers’ advice as he tries to execute rapid deportations, arguing that giving immigrants due process is time-consuming.“English, MotherF**er, do you speak it?”

President Trump,
I’ve seen men bleed out in the Ardennes for a flag you’re not fit to hold, let alone wrap yourself in. You think bluster is bravery, but I’ve led men through hell—and you couldn’t march through rain without whining about your hair.
You dodge the draft, praise dictators, and call that strength? Hell, I’ve stared down Rommel’s panzers and pissed in the Rhine. You, on the other hand, ran from bone spurs and hide behind Twitter like a pampered child playing general.
You talk about purging patriots and locking up dissenters like that’s power. That’s not power—it’s cowardice wrapped in a cheap suit and a bad tie.
I fought Nazis. You invite them. I liberated camps. You threaten to build new ones. I defended democracy with a .45 and a tank. You disgrace it with a pen and a podium.
So let me make this crystal clear, sunshine: if you had stood before me in ’44 spouting this treasonous filth, I’d have court-martialed you so fast your gold toilet would’ve flushed itself.
You are a disgrace to the presidency and to this Republic. And if you keep marching this country toward dictatorship, don’t expect history to salute you. It’ll spit.

The American people are waking up to the fact that we are all unwilling participants in bipartisan Kabuki, cooperative theater that elected a man who just said he doesn’t know if he needs to “uphold” the Constitution—and put out a picture of himself as the pope. If we don’t feel safe, no politician should. It really is that simple.
We need your help to see the full picture of how the dismantling of the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights is affecting students, parents, school employees and their wider communities.
Here’s how to reach out.

Bravo, MAGA.
The only reason Trump doesn’t fire Hegseth is he needs him to pull off his military birthday. The tanks will rip up the streets of DC but they don’t care.

Congratulations, America. You’ve officially reached dogshit fascist dictatorship status. Hope it was all worth it to “own the libs.”
DOGE
@TristanSnell
The same federal agency, NIOSH, that ensures N-95 masks are safe and effective against disease is also in charge of ensuring those masks are safe and effective for firefighters and construction workers.
And Donald Trump and Elon Musk just fired the last of its workers.
Elon Musk paid $250 million to help Trump win the swing states, then he went to Washington and signed a government contract worth twice that amount, and then he dismantled every single agency that was investigating his companies.
This is Elon.
Elon wanted credit for making online payment easier, so he bought out paypal.
Elon wanted to have a “cool” and “environmental” brand, so he bought tesla and stole the title of Founder.
Elon wanted to go to space without being smart so he hired people to do the work for him.
Elon wanted faster transportation, so he came up with an impractical idea for it.
Elon does not do anything useful for the world.
Elon is an apartheid profiting little bitch.
Fuck Elon.
DOGE says its function is merely to advise and assist the president. Here’s why that’s not true — and why the administration’s arguments are a way to dodge transparency requirements.
https://americanoversight.org/dont-believe-doge-when-it-says-it-isnt-an-agency-it-is-and-thats-important/
@RBReich
DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion.
Now it admits it’s only delivered $160B in cuts.
And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE’s cuts: $135B.
We’re losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.
While Americans face rising costs, Trump and his family are cashing in on the presidency:
•Deregulated crypto after launching a crypto firm
•Sold meme coins for political access
•Opened a private DC club
•Cut 19 foreign business deals
•Peddled exclusive investment tips
Hey @grok the bible calls for helping the poor right?
why do many christians oppose welfare programs and how does this align with the teachings of jesus?
This week, Josh Hawley reintroduced legislation that would ban members of Congress and their spouses from trading stocks while in office.
He reintroduced the PELOSI Act: “Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments.”
Should politicians be able to trade?
This is unusual trading by a politician.

The only pope Donald Trump has a similarity is Pope John XII. Who was thought to be the devil. Female pilgrims would avoid Rome as Pope John XII was known to rape virgins. He converted the Vatican into a full-fledged brothel and was not ashamed to rape female pilgrims in the middle of St. Peter’s Basilica. He was described as a “a coarse, immoral man, whose life was such that the Lateran was spoken of as a brothel, and the moral corruption in Rome. He was known for his greed, lies, debauchery and crimes.

The guy who was involved in FOUR THOUSAND lawsuits before he was POTUS the FIRST time (not to mention all his subsequent indictments) thinks there would be too many trials if he obeyed the Constitution. He used to sue guys who put carpets in his casinos rather than pay the bills.
