Absolutely a global disgrace.

Trump did sign Executive Order 14420 directing the federal government to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America.” The order tells Interior and the U.S. Board on Geographic Names to make the change in federal geographic databases and requires federal agencies to use the new name.

At our municipal grocery stores, New Yorkers will get a 30% discount on eggs, milk, chicken, produce and other everyday essentials. In the wealthiest city in the richest country in the world, no one should have to wonder how they’ll afford the food they need to feed themselves or their families.

Today, I submitted my formal comment to the Secretary of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve in opposition to Docket No. OP-1878. Phew, that's a mouthful. I’ve been digging into the trajectory of our financial system, and what I’m seeing is deeply concerning. 👇

Bills like this often go unnoticed by the public, but the public is the one that will pay the price if the system fails. We cannot allow our central bank to prioritize transaction speed over the safety of our money.

The Fed’s own research confirms that giving these fragile non-bank entities direct access to the central bank ledger creates an unbuffered pipeline for systemic contagion.

This isn't just "innovation" & updating the system... it is a massive threat to our financial security. These platforms lack the basic ledger integrity and capital safety nets that traditional banks are forced to maintain.

Between OP-1878 and the P.A.C.E. Act, there is a push to grant fintech and digital asset companies direct access to our core central bank ledgers. My biggest issue is the trail of fraud, money laundering, and consumer loss (like the Yotta and Synapse collapses) that these companies leave behind.

The reason Trump screamed “RIGGED!” about the 2020 election was so that he could cheat and rig the 2024 election as much as he wanted. Because if anyone says the word ‘rigged’ now, even if it is, you sound like him. This is an old Nazi tactic.

Justice for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo!

SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van. Gift link in reply.

Calling Musk the richest man in the world is quite the fallacy. He could never compare to the wealth of Mansa Musa. We can stop calling him a trillionaire; even an ex-trillionaire isn't accurate. Read my latest article on Medium to learn how the top 1% fluff their worth...

If I could get the world to understand one thing about #SocialMedia , #DigitalMedia , #Marketing , and modern-day #Journalism it's that 80% of it is fluff. Most social media accounts are drowning in bots, #ai has ruined organic marketing, and the field of marketing in general is filled with cons.⬇️

Stop using modern marketing methods that aren't tangible. Digital Marketing Analytics, unless they visibly brings sales through the door, are just a crock of horse 💩. Spend your money on your employees, the quality of your products, and tangible ways to connect in person.

I've been working these platforms for years now, and they are against the general public. Everyone let's harmful rhetoric remain on the platforms for clicks, views, and engagement... but I hate to tell you, most of these companies feed you fake analytics to make it seem like your $ has reach. 🙅‍♀️❌️

Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Threads, Twitter (because eff calling it X), Google Reviews, Reddit, YouTube, Yelp... you name it. Anything where there are public accounts, there are majority fake accounts on the platforms. 💀 THEY'RE ALL BOT FARMED. So stop giving them your money, time, and attention.
