@SenFettermanPA @Airshiptycoon To hold TSA hostage just to be able to not hold ICE accountable is nasty work tbh
English
This is incredibly generous.
TSA agents across the country are relying on food pantries and community donations just to get by.
I remain the lone Dem to vote with my Republican colleagues to fully fund DHS and get people paid.
It should never come to this point.
Elon Musk@elonmusk
I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country

Slavery was legal.
People who freed slaves were criminals.
Segregation was legal.
People who stood up for equality were criminals.
I heard this story once about a teacher who took a fish out of its bowl and left a classroom of children as it flopped around.. telling them that if anyone left their seat, they would be expelled. All of the children sat and watched as this fish flopped gasping for air, not wanting to get up in order to avoid getting in trouble. Finally, a girl sprang up from her seat and ran to the fish, placing it back in the bowl. Ultimately, she was the only one who refused to watch the fish die.
When the teacher returned he told the class that this was a lesson. That the fear of getting in trouble should never stop you from doing what's right. That sometimes.. you may have to oppose authority and group think, simply because it's the right thing to do.
Never use legality as a guide to morality.

i've gotta hand it to him
fleecing the Arabs for billions and sweeping it into your family’s personal accounts, hell, even taking a jumbo jet from them
then royally (pun intended) fucking them over in a poorly conceived op your handlers convinced you to do with no real off-ramp as they must then watch their economies and reputations for being safe havens crumble
is just an incredible move
maybe the best to ever do it

WSJ: Arab governments were furious about Israel’s attack and the U.S. failure to head it off, officials said. They had aggressively lobbied the Trump administration to stop U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure and now feel a target has been put on their backs, they said… America’s Arab allies are now fuming that they don’t seem to have any influence with the Trump administration despite heavy investments of time and money.

I still find it funny how Americas voting systems worked well for 44 presidents but suddenly went bad when Trump lost an election 🤔

This is said with all due respect to the OS team, because I’ve genuinely had great experiences with them over the years…
But this is wrong.
You set up a farming opportunity with a specific timeframe and a clear purpose: to drive activity and extract value from traders on your platform.
People understood that and participated willingly, which is something you should have been thankful for considering more extraction in this current market was the last thing we needed, especially from one of the most profitable companies in this market segment.
In return, people took you at your word and used the platform exactly how you knew they would. Over-trade, farm the system, and you made big $$$.
They held up their end of the deal.
And now, with two weeks left of YOUR TIMELINE, you pull the plug.
Cancelling fees for a couple of months and refunding trader fees (which, by the way, better be an EXTREMELY simple process, no hoops for people to jump through) means very little to the users who trusted the timeframe you set.
When you factor in opportunity cost and the trust that’s now been lost, the damage is much larger.
OpenSea carries a heavy crown in crypto. And with that crown comes responsibility.
It’s a responsibility I honestly don’t envy, but it’s one that has to be embraced.
You can’t claim to be building for the long term while simultaneously pointing to current market conditions as the reason you can’t follow through.
These statements contradict each other, which makes the excuse feel disingenuous.

an update on $SEA. the team has been building at full speed, and the foundation had planned to kick off the first steps as part of our march 30th event. but @openseafdn is pushing back the timeline. a delay is a delay. i’m not going to dress it up, and i know how it lands. the reality is that market conditions are challenging across crypto right now, and $SEA only launches once. @openseafdn could force the original date, or we could ensure every piece is in place and make this moment what this community deserves. we gave a tremendous amount of thought to how to do right here. I’m thankful to @HollanderAdam for bringing the community’s voice into every conversation. we’ll be doing the following: no more waves: the current rewards wave will be our last. optional fee refund: recognizing that we originally committed to a Q1 date, we’re offering refunds of the platform fees we retained while participating in the rewards waves (3 - 6) that followed our timing announcement. if you like, you can receive a refund of those fees, which when combined with treasure chest prizes, essentially means all of your trading during that period was on us. if you opt for a refund, the Treasures you were awarded during these waves will be removed from your account. details on this process will follow. honoring existing Treasures: for Treasures you continue to hold, our prior commitment stands: they will be meaningfully considered by the Foundation at TGE. this is independent from allocations for historical activity. 0% fees for 60 days: starting on march 31st, opensea will reduce our own token trading fees to 0%. we want to make it a no-brainer for everyone to experience our new platform: cross-chain token trading, mobile app, perps and more. after this 60 day period, we will put a new system in place that makes fees significantly more competitive for anyone trading consistently on opensea. product updates: while we’re postponing our march 30th event, we’ll host a separate one in the coming months focused on product updates. it’s been incredible to see the early responses to our mobile app, and we can’t wait to get it into more people’s hands. so if not now, wen? when we announced last year, it was too early. that created unnecessary uncertainty and reactivity. so when the Foundation sets a new timeline, it will be deliberate and specific. here’s why i’m confident that’s the right move: i’ve been building opensea for almost a decade. when this started, we were two people and the only thing you could trade on OS was cryptokitties. i’ve watched this space go from a niche curiosity to billions in volume to where we are today. the thing that’s carried us through every cycle was a willingness to make hard calls when it mattered. when our market crashed, we rebuilt from zero: an entirely new stack, a new product, and a new team culture. that hurt in the short term. but today OS2 is undeniably the strongest marketplace offering, and it’s the foundation everything sits on. we have huge ambitions as a company, and we’re here for the long game. making all of non-custodial crypto delightful on mobile is just the beginning. that means we have to set a very high bar for everything we do, and it’s why i’m so protective of delivering a launch that’s worthy of this community and everything we’re putting into this.

Opensea is the prime example of the most diabolical extractive assholes who got lucky to be first mover in the space at perfect time.
After extracting almost 2 billion dollars with the highest fees we have ever seen in crypto space, they came back to extract another 8 figures by baiting people again to farm airdrop that will never happen.
Then after circlejerking for over a year with bullshit and never ending farming waves nobody gave af about, they decide to "postpone" launch which will never happen, and then pretend they are good guys by refunding epochs that absolutely noone farmed excluding the first 3 waves where 99% volume happened.
Why not refund the first 3 waves as well?
The answer is obvious.
Crypto isn't a serious industry, but the fact that these clowns cashed out almost 2 billion with abysmal leadership skills and then managed to come back and extract even more money while larping the airdrop and we still fell for it... well, that is even more insane.
Anything these clowns ever touch should be avoided at all costs. There will never be $SEA token and even if by some miracle they ever release it, it won't give you 2% back what you spent there.
As someone who spent over $2.5 million dollars on gas fees, royalties and Opensea fees during NFT season, and then still fell for muh chests farming wave which ended up costing me another 50-100k (which aren't getting refunded of course) because I didn't want to risk not being eligible for the airdrop, I truly deserve clown on the year award.
Sincerely Openscam, I hope you never release the token and never get the chance to extract another penny from this space.
Avoid these lowlives at all costs.

@HollanderAdam So let me get this right, Opensea is postponing with no new date and blaming it on market conditions? We had to endure Beta and a 3 month Voyage and then ETH touched 5000, but instead of TGE, you grifters decided to launch multiple wave extractions.

I worked at Epic Games for two years. This is real, and the strategy behind it is smarter than most people realize.
Tim Sweeney has spent nearly two decades buying North Carolina forest land. 50,000+ acres across 15 counties. He’s now one of the largest private landowners in the state. The purchases started in 2008, right after the real estate collapse wiped out developers who had been planning golf resorts and luxury communities on biodiverse wilderness.
Sweeney paid $15 million for Box Creek Wilderness, a 7,000-acre stretch in the Blue Ridge foothills containing 130+ rare and threatened species. Developers had owned 5,000 of those acres before the crash. He bought them for conservation prices when nobody else was bidding.
He runs the acquisitions through an LLC called “130 of Chatham.” He buys the land, holds it for years, then either donates it to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sells it at a discount to state parks, or hands it to land trusts. In 2021, he donated 7,500 acres in the Roan Highlands to the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy. Largest private land donation in North Carolina history.
The part people miss: he told the News & Observer that since 2021, land got too expensive to keep buying. So he shifted focus to converting his existing 50,000 acres into permanent conservation status. He’s locking the land into legal structures that make development impossible regardless of who owns it in the future.
A billionaire worth roughly $6 billion is spending tens of millions acquiring wilderness specifically during economic downturns, then giving it away or placing it under permanent legal protection. The land will outlast him, Epic Games, and Fortnite.
That’s the part that separates Sweeney from billionaires who write checks to get their name on a building. The building depreciates. The forest compounds.

“The latest White House post is… disgusting & despicable”
War is not a sport, & it’s certainly not a comedy. I’ve been asked how I felt about being included in a post from the White House using NFL hits as some sort of war highlight film. Truthfully, I don’t feel rage, but embarrassment. I’m also saddened for the families whose loved ones are serving this country.
We have lost all integrity, decorum, & character. We aren’t led by a public servant, but a reality star. This is just the latest example of who our leadership is.

It is a little astonishing to me how much we've pretty much just accepted that Trump, his family, and his friends are making hundreds of millions of dollars in obvious, completely unhidden graft, and there's not really anything anyone can do about it.
Mike Levin@MikeLevin
This story cannot keep flying under the radar. A ProPublica investigation uncovered hundreds of millions of dollars in financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they are supposed to regulate. That is not just a conflict of interest. It is corruption, plain and simple. This is the most corrupt administration in American history, by far. propublica.org/article/trump-…

My wife Yara and I were talking about everything we have gone through during the war in Gaza—how we survived death more than once, and how we were displaced from place to place, from one tent to another.
Yara said to me sadly, “The world sees us as if we do not deserve life… no one sees us.”
I tried to convince her that there are many people around the world who care about us, who stand with us and pray for us 🙏
So I wrote this tweet… so my wife can see how many people are still with us, and how many hearts still care about us.
If you see this and care about us, please leave a 🍉 or 🇵🇸 or even just a dot (.)
Maybe a small comment from you can bring hope and strength back to my wife’s heart.

"I voted for Donald Trump because he felt like the lesser of two evils."
Let's unpack.
Trump tried to overthrow a free and fair election after his 2020 loss. He attempted a fake elector scheme, tried to bully Republican state officials in AZ & GA into compliance with his criminal scheme, he tried to intimidate his VP in halting the constitutional mandated counting of electoral votes, he riled up a mob of violent gullibles who attacked our nation's Capitol where they smeared shit on the walls and floors, attacked Capitol & and DC Metro Police in what was described as medieval combat where minutes were turned to hours, built a gallows to hang VP Pence who wasn't onboard with the illegal scheme, people lost their lives and over a hundred sustained moderate to severe injuries. Trump is also an adjudicated rapist. Trump also stole sensitive/classified documents/materials and refused to return them to NARA as legally required.
Kamala Harris is an African-American Woman who had a giggle that some found annoying.
So let's put these two on the EVIL scales and see who the lesser of two Evils is.
Oh, I think you might need to recalibrate your scales.
Chris Wick@ChrisWickNews
I voted for Donald Trump because he felt like the lesser of two evils. I didn’t want Joe Biden or Kamala Harris continuing what I believed was corruption and chaos. Trump promised no new wars. He promised to end wars. He promised America First. That’s why I supported him. But now? We’re watching conflicts escalate. Billions sent overseas. Military aid flowing to Israel and Ukraine. Meanwhile Americans are struggling to buy groceries. Veterans are homeless. Families are drowning in debt. Where is America First? I didn’t vote for more foreign entanglements. I voted for peace. I voted for prosperity at home. That’s why I’m disappointed. That’s why I’m upset. And that’s why I can’t support him anymore.
