If anybody reading this has connections to the leaders of the #TraderJoesUnited #union, please let them know that they lost a supporter today by sending me three emails in a row asking me to give them money.
I want to know what your theory of change is. I want to know how you are going to use my financial support to achieve your union's goals and support your members. I don't want to feel like your organization is just another #grift.

"Cryptocurrency miners in Texas pay less for electricity than residents on average, according to an Earthjustice report. In 2023, residential ratepayers paid 22.25 cents per kilowatt-hour for their electricity, while specific crypto mining operations paid just 2.5 per kWh, the group estimates. Bitcoin mining raises the cost of electricity for non-miners in Texas by $1.8bn per year, roughly 4.7%, per consulting firm Wood Mackenzie."

To the degree possible, #socialmedia should be free from #manipulation by individuals (#scams, #grift), #corporations (#monetization, #profit), computers (#algorithms, "#AI", or governments.
@MalcolmNance Since Ron Johnson is a mob-style #BananaRepublican I assume he only talks with “manufacturers in Wisconsin” who complied with his #grift and donated bigly to his campaign. So this is a classic case of #FAFO. They voted FOR #tariffs - aka the #TrumpTax - and all the rest of #AmericanCarnage2.0. 
Save your reduced consumer spending for businesses that did not support the predictably catastrophic #Project2025.
"Mr. Trump is now not only a major crypto dealer; he is also the industry’s top policy maker....President Trump has noted that conflict of interest laws do not apply to him"

Banning the sale or promotion of cryptocurrency while president of the United States would be a good place to start first.

In case anyone needs a refresher as to how we arrived at this point, the trouble began in earnest in January. With just 3 days remaining before his presidential inauguration, #Trump found time to launch one last post-election #grift: Without explanation or defense, the #Republican & his family started selling a #cryptocurrency token.
#Trump & his allies have raked in nearly $900k in trading fees over the past two days from the president’s $TRUMP #cryptocurrency token, acc/to Chainalysis, a blockchain data company. The surge came after a Wednesday announcement in which the top 220 holders of the token were promised dinner w/the president.
When pressed to justify their efforts, the #GOP’s #impeachment proponents pointed to an informant who brought bribery allegations to the attention of the FBI. That same informant was ultimately sent to prison — because he lied to the FBI about Biden.
That said, if there are still ofcls looking for a burgeoning controversy surrounding a president & the potential for… #bribes, do I have a story for them.…
It still seems hard to believe, but in the last #Congress, the #House #Republican majority formally launched an #impeachment inquiry against Joe #Biden. The endeavor never made any sense, but the underlying allegation was that the Democratic president was somehow the beneficiary of a weird #bribery scheme.

I think Trump doesn't know anything about government, governing, or economics, and thinking that he has a "master plan" is just a placebo so they don't have to face that fact.

RE
Just because the #grift is all public doesn’t mean this isn’t the most corrupt
That's right, breaking norms since they were just out of highschool
Would be cool to see an #AI technical editor, edit the April 21 2025 #AlGore speech. Put their face filter over Al's face.
Would take mad skills, to do that. Oh, we can call their CLUB, "Mad Skills" because, you know.... mad
Who still has membership at Mar-a-Lago? There can be no reason other than buying access to the POTUS at this point. It's not a high end social club. It's a pay-to-play.html grift scheme.
Any ideas, @ProPublica?
