more data on those “52 million americans” who congressional #dems think are using #crypto but actually aren’t: according to the atlanta federal reserve crypto ownership declined once again to 7.7% of adults in 2024 from its peak of 9.6% in 2022.

that 7.7% number includes people speculating on bitcoin via ETFs etc which is hardly “usage”. less than 2% of americans actually “use” crypto for anything (and a lot of that is probably just bros buying NFTs).

Rebecca Solnit is always so, so brilliant.
'And in the same way the diverse population left of center is supposed to make nice to the right or be responsible for when the right goes wrong. These stories amount to "the left was so annoying about pronouns or liberals made people feel so guilty about plastic straws they had no choice but to get on board with the second coming of the Third Reich and the destruction of the planet."' https://www.meditationsinanemergency.com/the-she-made-him-do-it-theory-of-everything-2/?ref=meditations-in-an-emergency-newsletter

"Republican leadership in #Texas refused to let Democratic state Rep. Nicole Collier leave the House chamber after she refused to agree to a 24/7 police "escort."

... #Democrats who left the state would only be allowed to leave the chamber on Monday if they signed an agreement to be accompanied by an escort from the Texas Dept of Public Safety...

Collier was "locked into the House chamber" because she refused to sign the document."
