🚨 40% of freshmen in the 119th Congress made conflicted stock trades in their 1st year. Tech, finance, energy, defense — all while sitting on the committees that regulate them.

This is “on-boarding corruption.”

This is just good to know in general. Glad to see yesterday went so well. Ty for the information.

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

Excellent. Ty for your leadership.

Step 0: make sure the chart goes from lower left to upper right

Step 1: Look for the last low that broke a high; place buy

Step 2: Measure from a local top to the bottom it produced, double it, add it to the top; place sell.

Be kind to yourself.

Rick @kindtrader.bsky.social · 2d

Yep. And I'm buying (some...this could get ugly...). Ty for the analysis.

This is going in my Amicus Brief for this term (Nov 10, 2025 deadline). I hope they would be proud:

"Law cannot compel what nature does not define" [re: the sexual binary myth]

"The Court cannot continue to ignore scientific reality and consider itself a fair arbiter of the Constitution"

Rick @kindtrader.bsky.social · 2d

I concur.

The cruelty never changes.

Rick @kindtrader.bsky.social · 2d

That seems supremely useful. Well done.

Rick @kindtrader.bsky.social · 2d

Huh...weird...almost as if they're taking advantage of a self-inflicted national wound or something for their own benefit. Odd...

Ty for the info, as always.

Rick @kindtrader.bsky.social · 2d

Hm...

New framing for me to internalize? Maybe...

Ty for sharing.

Cuz it's really only going to be useful in the craziest circumstances. Much better just to move on.

No?

When a low gets broken, recalibrate.

Rick @kindtrader.bsky.social · 2d

The older draft is still up here: tinyurl.com/praxisfoundry001

I'll be updating it to include the arguments here soon. But please, feel free to spread the truth anyway.

Be kind to yourself.

My amicus brief will include the overarching argument outlined above. And as a courtesy, I'll even demonstrate how, even if it WERE scientifically sound, a STATE has no right to force you to choose one; per the (you know...) Constitution. #transrightsarehumanrights

"Law cannot compel what nature does not define"

This statement is the thesis of an Amicus brief for #SCOTUS I'm working on.

#LGBTQ: We see you. The idea of "two sexes" was NEVER science...

It was a mother-fucking story.

Truth is not ideological. It's just way overdue.

$IONQ

Buy order, finally:

- Step 0: Look for a chart that goes from the lower left to the upper right. *check*

- Step 1: Look for the last low that broke a high, place a buy for some of your total allocation *check*

- Step 2: Place your Sell for some at (top - bottom)*2+top *check*

This is one reason I needed to feel "there's still hope." because "there will always be plenty of assholes" is also true.

What kind of a terrible human being do you need to be to threaten someone's life when they are not endangering yours?

Needed to feel "there's still hope."

Can confirm: there's still hope. Don't give up.

Seems like a completely reasonable solution. Well done.

Really worried about the next 3-6 months over here in crypto. The only symbol that matters:

$BTCUSD #BTC #Crypto

If we lose and then flip 107, we teleport to...well a lot lower. I won't be exiting, but buys may wait for a while. I'm almost full, but still in from lower all the same. Feels good.

Rick @kindtrader.bsky.social · 3d

$QBTS Sells: 48.75, 50.73, 53.63. Buys: None, full.
$IONQ Sells: 92.43, 104. Buys: None, full.

Enjoy. Be kind to yourself. If enough people like this stuff, I'll keep doing it. If not, I won't bother much but every once in a while. Seems fair, right?

Wait, was this an actual exchange? Would love if it were.

Still, premise funny; regardless.

Rick @kindtrader.bsky.social · 3d

You're quite welcome. Thanks for speaking up.
