If you know well enough to self-custody your sats, then you should DEFINITELY self-custody your art.

🟣HOW I ORANGE-PILL BARBERS:
🔸 Fee: $25. I hand him $20 and say, “I don’t have the right change, but I can pay you $10 in #Bitcoin. It’s fast, easy, and way better than cash.” 🔸 He looks hesitant. I reassure him: • “You don’t need an ID, a picture, or anything complicated. Give me 2 minutes, and I’ll show you.” 🔸 I guide him to download BlueWallet, Aqua, or Blink. • 1 minute later, the app is ready. I send the payment and explain what’s happening as the Bitcoin lands in his wallet.
By now, he’s curious. “What else can I do with this?” • I explain the seed phrase, custody, and how he can attract more customers. • “Bitcoiners will love paying you directly.”
Then it happens: 🔸 Half the time, he notices the Lightning icon. I grab my phone, send him an instant tip on Lightning, and his face lights up when he sees how fast it is.
Suddenly, the conversation shifts. He’s asking more questions, excited to learn.
Every barber, every chance, every conversation—it matters.
NEVER STOP ORANGE-PILLING. NEVER STOP TRYING.

BUT NO ISRAEL DID NOT COMMIT GENOCIDE!
BREAKING: The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Security Minister Yoav Gallant, charging them with crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza.
The ICC’s Pre-Trial Chamber I rejected earlier challenges from #Israel, asserting jurisdiction over the Situation in the State of #Palestine. The Chamber found “reasonable grounds” to believe Netanyahu and Gallant intentionally deprived Gaza’s civilians of essential survival items, including food, water, medicine, fuel, and electricity—part of a widespread and systematic attack on civilians.
♦️These charges now mean Netanyahu and Gallant are effectively unable to travel to over 120 ICC member states, where they risk arrest and extradition to The Hague.
Since #Israel’s war on Gaza began in October 2023, nearly 44,000 Palestinians have been reported killed, with over 103,000 injured. Experts suggest the true death toll may be far higher—possibly over 200,000 lives lost.
Is this the beginning of accountability?

In bed thinking about this and I’d like your feedback.
When a nation-state becomes a patchwork of cultures, histories, and identities, but lacks the courage to embrace a unifying ideology like multiculturalism, the outcome is not harmony. It is fracture. Without a shared framework for coexistence, diversity becomes a battlefield, not a strength.
In this vacuum, fear takes root. Communities withdraw into themselves, carving out enclaves of isolation. The “us versus them” mindset flourishes. Mistrust deepens. Stereotypes harden. And in the absence of a collective narrative, the very fabric of the nation begins to unravel.
This is the price of ignoring the work of unity. Diversity alone does not create strength—just as a mosaic without grout crumbles under pressure. A nation can only endure if it chooses to weave its differences into a single story, one that celebrates every voice without erasing any.
But if it doesn’t? History teaches us what follows: polarization, division, and ultimately collapse.
What nation did you think of as you read this?

🚨 BREAKING: After 40 years of imprisonment, Georges Abdallah—the longest-held political prisoner in Europe—is set to be freed on December 6, 2024.
His release comes with a condition: exile from France. Georges’ fight for justice and liberation has been shaped by decades of resilience, surviving immense international pressure from American and European authorities determined to keep him behind bars. His story is one of unbreakable resolve and resistance.
From his Lebanese roots, Georges rose to lead the Lebanese Armed Revolutionary Factions, confronting the occupation of Lebanon and the supply chains fueling Zionist expansion. Convicted under highly contentious charges in 1987, his imprisonment became a tool for state repression—his mere existence, even at 72 years old, a testament to the power he holds to inspire global resistance.
The fight for Georges’ freedom laid bare the deep-rooted connections between state power and imperialist agendas. Even approved release requests—like in 2013—were snatched away by American intervention, revealing a fear of what he represents: unwavering commitment to justice and the potential to mobilize the masses.
In Georges’ words: “Comrades, let us be vigilant and prevent the Zionist criminals from annihilating the revolutionary heroes in captivity! May a thousand solidarity initiatives flourish for the sake of Palestine and its glorious resistance!”
As December 6th nears, this is a reflection on Georges’ struggle, and our collective duty to uphold the vision for freedom and justice. Yet the timing of this announcement is questionable. Are the French trying to play the card of his release for something related to the war of Zionist #Israel on Lebanon?

🇺🇸The Great American Promise Scam: Documented Proofs of How Presidential Candidates Betray Voters
⚠️Dont Trust, verify⬇️
Imagine signing a contract where one side is free to lie, break promises, and face zero consequences. This is the American presidential campaign system, where the numbers reveal a devastating trend: recent presidents have fulfilled a steadily declining percentage of their promises – from George W. Bush’s 59% to Obama’s 48%, Trump’s 36%, and Biden’s current 32%. This isn’t due to inability, but a system that legally shields candidates from any real accountability.
Ironically, the #FirstAmendment, intended to protect honest discourse, allows presidential hopefuls to make grand promises without a shred of obligation to deliver. This means that statements made during campaigns cannot be legally enforced as contracts or binding obligations. This isn’t just about a few broken commitments – it’s a structurally protected loophole that transforms campaign speeches into consequence-free marketing pitches. Candidates stand on stage, selling promises they never intend to keep, backed by a legal shield that turns public trust into an unreturned deposit in a system built to protect deception. This applies to your beloved #Harris and #Trump.
🚩The Declining Trust: A 20-Year Spiral
🇺🇸Joe Biden (2020-2024)
🤑Economic Promise: “Support for the middle class” – Promised meaningful support for working families but has failed to pass essential policies, like affordable childcare and expanded healthcare, while corporate profits soar and wealth inequality deepens. 🚸Economic Relief Promise: “Immediate student loan relief” – Biden promised significant student debt forgiveness but has only provided limited relief, impacting a fraction of borrowers. 🩸Defense & Military Promise: “Return to diplomacy” – While pledging diplomacy, #Biden has authorized over $17 billion in military aid to #Israel, bolstering its military arsenal and supporting genocidal actions in occupied territories, further inflaming Middle East tensions and humanitarian crises.
🇺🇸Donald Trump (2016-2020)
👩🏾‍🌾Immigration Promise: “Mexico will pay for the wall” – Instead, American taxpayers shouldered the $11 billion cost, while immigration reform promises went unfulfilled. 💵Anti-Establishment Promise: “Drain the swamp” – Trump appointed numerous billionaires, corporate insiders, and former Goldman Sachs executives to top positions, despite his anti-establishment rhetoric. While, the Trump Organization had indirect ties with Goldman Sachs through investments in commercial properties. 🩸Defense & Military Promise: “End endless wars” – While Trump withdrew some troops, the U.S. remained heavily engaged in global conflicts. His administration increased drone strikes, with thousands of attacks primarily targeting the Middle East, and escalated tensions with Iran, culminating in the assassination of General Qasem Soleimani, which nearly led to war.
🇺🇸Barack Obama (2008-2016)
🤬Transparency Promise: “Most transparent administration in history” – Obama’s administration set records for denying Freedom of Information requests, expanded #NSA #surveillance, and failed to close #Guantanamo Bay despite repeated promises. 🤑Economic & Social Justice Promise: “Hope and Change” for struggling Americans – While Main Street suffered through foreclosures and rising inequality, Obama’s administration prioritized $29 trillion in #WallStreet bailouts, leaving 5 million families without #homes. 🩸#Defense & #Military Promise: “End the wars in #Iraq and #Afghanistan” – Instead, the wars continued and costs surged under #Obama, with U.S. operations expanding to seven countries, mainly in the #MiddleEast. His administration dropped 26,171 bombs in 2016 alone, with thousands of civilian casualties and a record number of drone #assassinations.
🇺🇸George W. Bush (2000-2008)
🌍Foreign #Policy Promise: “No nation building” – Launched two costly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that continue to impact the Middle East and the U.S. economy, totaling $8 trillion and costing thousands of lives. 🤑Domestic Economic Promise: “Compassionate conservatism” – Bush’s administration prioritized #tax cuts for the wealthy while military engagements drained federal resources, leaving vital social programs underfunded. 🩸Defense & Military Promise: “Quick, decisive victory in Iraq” – #Bush’s wars led to spiraling costs and massive U.S. operations in the Middle East, including tens of thousands of drone strikes. #Bombing campaigns, especially in Iraq, took a heavy civilian toll. The Bush family has historic ties to major defense contractors, profiting indirectly from the defense industry’s surge during the War on #Terror.
⚠️Each broken promise isn’t just a statistic – it represents millions of shattered lives, empty wallets, and betrayed voters, all protected by a legal system that elevates political deception to an art form. This is not an accidental flaw; it’s an institutionally crafted mechanism that allows candidates to say what voters want to hear, knowing full well they may never follow through. So the next time you hear a campaign promise, remember: it’s not a commitment – it’s a legally protected sales pitch wrapped in the flag of constitutional protection.
I could trace over a century of broken promises by different U.S. presidents, but just look at the last twenty years. The message is clear: history repeats, and empty promises remain. Learn from this – don’t get fooled again.
