I cannot in good conscience support Coinbase, a company that has chosen to promote and align itself with Donald Trump.This is not about political opinions. Trump is a known criminal. He has:- Pardoned all January 6th insurrectionists- Cut essential services including Medicaid and USAID- Attempted to fire hundreds of thousands of Federal employees- Arrested judges and senators- Suppressed all non right-wing media- Sent the Coast Guard and Marines to suppress peaceful protests in Los Angeles- Trampled on trans rights- Deported immigrants and even U.S. citizens without due process- Lied about deportees being gang members, sending them to a concentration camp in El Salvador- Enabled masked police to abduct people directly off the streets- Illegally detained foreign tourists for days and even weeks in jail without charges- Lied about Ukraine, stating they started a war with Russia. When in fact, Russia unlawfully invaded Ukraine.- Held a military parade for himselfCoinbase chose to support this. During the parade, they were explicitly thanked with the words: “Special Thanks To Our Sponsor – Coinbase.”That is not a neutral act. It is complicity. I have closed my account and will not support a company that helps normalize authoritarianism and human rights violations.
