“I could be walking in Central Park and come up on one of these horse and buggies. I don't think twice about it because I see it as part of the New York attraction. You know, you have the Statue of Liberty, you have Times Square, and you have these romantic horse and buggy things where people get married in the park and they ride these carriages. And tourists, they take these rides in Central Park. It's romantic, it's something beautiful to see. But I never thought for one second that these horses are abused.” – Tracy Winston, juror from Ryder’s trial New York City has a big, visible animal cruelty issue: horses forced to pull carriages, carrying heavy loads for long hours in all types of weather in the middle of chaotic traffic. Three years ago, a carriage horse named Ryder was a victim of this cruelty. He collapsed on a Manhattan street after being worked for hours in the summer heat. Two months later, he was euthanized. His story sparked global outrage. Ryder’s driver, Ian McKeever, was charged with animal cruelty The trial took place a few weeks ago, but McKeever was ultimately acquitted. This conversation is with Edita Birnkrant, the Executive Director of NYCLASS and Tracy Winston, one of the jurors from Ryder's trial. New York’s weak and outdated animal protection laws have not changed since Ryder died— and because of this, another avoidable death that occurred just a week after we recorded this interview. On August 5th, a horse named Lady died while pulling a carriage in Manhattan. This conversation is about accountability, about corruption and about what happens when justice fails the most vulnerable. It's too late for Ryder and Lady. But it is not too late to act. If you live in New York, please call your City Council members and tell them it’s time to bring Ryder’s Law, Intro 967, up for a vote and pass this vital bill to protect carriage horses from suffering and death on the city’s streets.

Since then, the volume of digital asset payments has grown more than fivefold to nearly $300 million in the first half of 2025. The University of San Andres allegedly pays its international faculty in Bitcoin. Carlos Neira, co-founder of Colombian wallet provider Meru, reports a staggering 6,600% increase in Bolivian users since the ban was lifted.

Last week, that law came into full effect. It criminalizes the use of VPNs, mandates that platforms store and hand over user data to officials upon request, and allows authorities to shut down Internet access at will. It also empowers regime-aligned law enforcement with the absolute authority to check citizens’ phones on the street. Penalties include up to six months in prison for sharing posts deemed “misinformation” or for using encrypted apps (like VPNs) to access information. Reports have already surfaced of police extorting bribes from people at checkpoints for having VPNs or “illegal social media” like X, Facebook, or YouTube on their phones. The law poses immediate threats to journalists and activists critical of the military regime or using privacy tools. Amid the junta’s effort to stage a sham election to expand militarized control, this deepens Burma’s retreat from civic freedoms and shrinks the already fragile space for independent voices and the free flow of information.

A letter signed by two of El Salvador’s top finance officials also confirmed the state has not bought Bitcoin since February 2025. The revelation comes after El Salvador secured a $1.4 billion IMF loan, which required the government to scale back key parts of its Bitcoin policy, including ending tax payments in Bitcoin, phasing out the Chivo wallet, and making private sector acceptance voluntary. While Bukele continues to tout Bitcoin as part of El Salvador’s identity, the disconnect between official actions and public messaging calls into question transparency and credibility.

Starting July 1, individuals trading digital assets on unauthorized platforms could face prison sentences of up to five years. And “providing unauthorized crypto asset exchange services” could land you up to eight years. “The legislation’s broad language and lack of implementation guidelines have created a legal gray area where previously legal activities could now result in criminal prosecution,” Forbes reports. Digital asset exchange Revolut has already halted services for its 2 million Hungarian users, “temporarily” freezing accounts with no timeline for restoring services. The legislation is problematic because it criminalizes basic financial activities, such as buying and selling Bitcoin, while not providing a legal or compliant way to do so. It limits individuals from storing value outside traditional banking. It also eliminates an option for people who might use Bitcoin to protect their savings, support dissenting causes, or escape financial surveillance.

The move is designed to monitor energy use, enforce tax collection, and stamp out unregistered operations in key mining regions. A separate law, still in draft form, would also allow courts to seize digital assets linked to mining deemed “illegal.” Miners who fail to comply will face fines of up to 2 million rubles (about $22,000). Six regions are already under a full mining ban until 2031. Overall, Russia’s new Bitcoin mining registry poses serious risks to financial and civil liberties. By forcing miners to register equipment and comply with rules under threat of asset seizure or closure, the Kremlin gains greater surveillance and control over Bitcoin mining in Russia and offers a potential blueprint for other authoritarian regimes.

The platforms remain offline more than three weeks later in the lead-up to October’s presidential and parliamentary elections. The timing of the shutdown also coincides with the kidnapping of Ugandan journalist, lawyer, and Oslo Freedom Forum speaker Agather Atuhaire, who says she was tortured and sexually assaulted while in Tanzanian custody before being left at the border between Tanzania and Uganda. Recently, the government also banned the use of foreign currency in daily transactions, forcing citizens to rely on the weakening Tanzanian shilling. And in April, the opposition CHADEMA party was disqualified from participating in the October elections under the pretense of treason against party leader Tundu Lissu. The censorship of online platforms, suppression of opposition and dissidents, and laws banning foreign currency all signal a coordinated strategy to silence criticism and strip Tanzanians of both their political voice and financial autonomy.

While the state eases monetary conditions to prop up a fragile system, ordinary citizens are left scrambling to preserve the value of their savings. Bitcoin/CNY trading volumes jumped over 20% in response, as people sought refuge from a weakening yuan. But while some can quietly escape to harder money, others are trapped in a system that treats access to money as a privilege. In Hunan, an elderly woman in a wheelchair died outside a bank after being forced to appear in person to withdraw her own money for medical care. Too weak to pass mandatory facial recognition scans, she collapsed after repeated failed attempts.
