I know you have probably seen this a a lot on your timelines this week, but this European Citizens' Initiative to ban conversion practices in the European Union is that important.
It just needs votes now, and it's gaining them at a good clip, so if you can but have not voted yet, or know anyone else who may as yet be unaware, please do so 🙏🏻
Currently at 752.147 of 1.000.000 required, anywhere within the EU counts!
Poke your friends, your family, and everyone else who isn't an asshole.

After a billionaire friend complained to Trump about paying more for a weight-loss drug in the U.S. than in the UK, Trump issued an executive order claiming to lower prescription drug prices. But when you look closely, it’s more populist cosplay than meaningful reform.
That’s why progressive lawmakers like Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna are calling Trump's bluff and urging Republicans to support legislation that would actually make these changes law. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p…

Iranian President Hits Back at Trump: ‘Let Him Dream’

Rubio on Turkey peace talks: Russia’s delegation isn’t a sign of real progress.
“I hope I’m 100% wrong and we see a ceasefire tomorrow. But honestly, I doubt it. We need Trump directly involved — and I believe he agrees.”
"We need Trump" 🤡 🤡 🤡
There is almost no scenario in human society where a reasonable person would say Donald Trump was needed. Not even to walk the dog. Literally never. Because he's a felonious, narcissistic, rapist imbecile.
And yet, somehow, the American people found way to put this piece of shit in government, and in the middle some of the most barbarous acts on Earth. Humans will burn.

Whole place glows like it's bioluminescent at this point.
A shame really.
I really liked being able to buy Monero with PayPal on LocalMarket and sellers always used TG, bit of a scam exchange rate wise but well worth it for small domestic DNM orders without fucking with KYC data harvesting ops like exchanges etc. and then have to mess with atomic swaps and whatnot just because the gov't fascists-in-chief used my taxes to ban BTC ATMs from back in the day.
I imagine the sellers used this to launder money they made as vendors on DNMs or some such enterprise.
monero (xmr) is an untraceable cryptocurency
TG is a bank
KYC means know your costumer
atomic swaps are a way of buying some crypto for other crypto
DNMs I think are darknet markets
Atomic Swap: Definition and How It Works With Cryptocurrency Trade
Atomic swaps are smart contracts that enable the exchange of cryptocurrencies from different blockchains in one transaction instead of many.The Investopedia Team (Investopedia)
I made a PayPal account like 20 years ago in a third world country. The only thing you needed then is an email and password.
I have no real name on there and no PII, technically my bank card is attached but on PP itself there's no KYC. I think you could probably use some types of prepaid cards with it if you want to avoid using a bank altogether but for me this wasn't an issue, I just didn't want my ID on any records, I don't have any serious OpSec concerns otherwise.
I'm sure you could either buy PayPal accounts like this if you needed to, or make one in a country that doesn't have KYC laws somehow.
From there I'd add money to my balance and send money as F&F. At no point did I need an ID so in that sense there's no KYC.
Some sellers on localmarket were fancy enough to list that they wanted an ID for KYC, but I'm sure you could just send them any random ID you made in paint from the republic of dave and you'd be fine.

For those who only share pics with ALT text (in order to support putting them on) but don't use screenreaders, it is atm not possible to see which has it, which don't.
Tested with Android-Browser usaage.
A marker with ALT in one corner of the thumbnail can help.
