The Case for a #Total #Crypto #Ban in #Politics
Crypto’s promise of "financial innovation" has become a #smokescreen for old-fashioned #corruption at the highest levels in our country. While #cryptocurrency may have uses for ordinary #citizens, ownership by #elected #officials presents unique and #dangerous #conflicts of interest that existing #laws are #powerless to stop. Here is why we need a total ban:

All powerlessness is just a pretense.
Even in your feeblest moment, you are still powerful enough to exercise choice, and you must always hold this very close to your heart.
The #DOJ seemed to frustrate Young on Thursday by arguing he as the judge is #powerless to enforce his ruling that the #Trump admin’s targeted #deportations were #unconstitutional.
“All issues related to the initiation of removal proceedings…must be channeled into #immigration court,” DOJ atty Paul Stone said. “There isn’t any remedy that the court can offer.”
“You’re telling me there is no remedy?” an astonished Young replied.
“That’s what the statutes require,” Stone said.

It’s going to hell…
...and I feel so powerless, useless, worthless, and a bit scared... I can't go into all the details, but my male ex is not keeping his promises, he's not keeping up his obligations, and this now puts us into a situation that I feel terrible about. If it goes wrong all the way, it will end up causing me to be in debt, and I'll need to find a way to work through that... If that should happen. But, the way things have been going, I feel like it will happen, and I just don't understand why... There are better ways for my ex to deal with this, some of them could even end up making him some money instead of costing us, and causing me to get into serious financial troubles... And I don't understand why he won't "just" do that, I don't understand why he's taking the worst way possible... I feel so bad, as I'm bullied into a situation where I can only seem to lose big time. While all I've done is try to help him... For over 12 years already... I want this to end, and part of me even would welcome the bad ending, because I may be in a shitty place then for several years to come, at least then I know that there will be an end to it all.

“There is another story, one where the Manchester Liberals—liberal radicals—formed the core of an international left-wing movement driven by concern for the #hungry, the #vulnerable, and the #powerless, and by resentment against the unearned rents and privileges of the rich and powerful.” https://www.liberalcurrents.com/the-centripetal-solidarity-of-the-cosmopolitan-coalition/#/portal/signup

The #House passed the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" on May 22 by a 1-vote margin…. The bill is now heading to the #Senate, where #Republicans hold a 53-47 vote margin. Several Republicans said they will seek to modify the #bill.
21 #Democrats from the House wrote to Speaker Mike Johnson on May 20 & urged him to strike the provision from the bill.

»Powerful – Adenas Schicksal« ist trotz des bedeutsamen Titels eher ein unwichtiger Teil der »Powerless«-Saga, den man als Fan durchaus genießen kann, aber nicht wirklich kennen muss, da das Buch keine neuen Facetten zum eigentlichen Hintergrund beiträgt.

Neue Fantasy-Rezi:
»Die Flucht« setzt die »Powerless«-Trilogie solide fort und bleibt ihrer Maxime treu, in erster Linie eine romantische Geschichte zu sein, in der die durch die Ereignisse des ersten Bandes zerbrochenen Bande durch unfreiwillige Nähe wider gekittet wird. Aber Hintergrund, Setting und Motivation vieler Personen bleiben weiterhin schwammig, es sei denn diese Elemente umkreisen die Beziehung der Hauptfiguren.

Lawrence O’Donnell pointed out the #power #plays that Elon Musk appeared to pull over President Donald Trump during their Oval Office press conference on Tuesday.
Musk stood over Trump,
“delivering a picture of presidential subservience the likes of which we have never seen,” said O’Donnell.
It was “the most #powerless image of a President of the United States ever created by a camera,” said “The Last Word” host.
Tech billionaire Musk, who Trump has tasked with slashing public spending via the non-official Department of Government Efficiency,
🔥did “everything he possibly can to tell the world, without saying a word, that ‘Donald Trump is not the boss of me,’” said O’Donnell.
Musk, the world’s richest person, also “violated” other White House norms by wearing casual attire, being present with his child and talking more than Trump.
