Spotify stock graph showing a decrease of $28 in one day (Friday 10/24), the day after Spotify’s boycott became a trending topic on Bluesky. This is a roughly 5% decrease in value.

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads.

These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.

Deliberately arranged riot in Portland, Oregon?

Mike Nellis (@mikenellis) A reporter asked the chair of the Nobel Peace Prize committee why Trump didn’t win, and the guy basically said it’s because he has no courage or integrity. Absolutely brutal.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Donald Trump, you have poked the bear — and we will punch back.

Do not pardon Ghislaine Maxwell! For decades, Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused and trafficked girls and young women. His power and money shielded him from accountability—and he was enabled by those around him. Americans have been left...

On my morning walk, I saw this beautiful church. With welcoming flags and signs of reassurance and respect.

Grateful for the everyday heroes among us. ♥️

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons.

Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

44% of all American children benefit from Medicaid or SNAP.

Republicans' budget guts both programs.

Yes: the so-called "party of family values" is putting 34 MILLION kids' health care access and food security at risk.

Statement from the #MusiciansUnion of the United States 🇺🇸 and #Canada 🇨🇦 to the fat bastard #BruceSpringsteen #TaylorSwift

Bishop Thomas John Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois, slams Trump for posting an AI image of himself as the Pope:

“This is deeply offensive to Catholics, especially during this sacred time that we are still mourning the death of Pope Francis…He owes an apology”

Congratulations to Bill Owens and Scott Pelley of CBS for standing up for the Constitution and the First Amendment.

Trump, and his lawsuits against CBS and other media, must be strongly resisted. Paramount (which owns CBS) must not give in to Trump’s authoritarianism.

Three U.S. citizens, ages 2, 4 and 7, swiftly deported from Louisiana The cases have renewed concerns that the Trump administration’s expedited deportations are violating the rights of both citizens and noncitizens.

The Trump administration deported two families, including three U.S. citizen children, after cutting them off from their lawyers and disregarding one of the child's need for cancer medication.

This is inhumane and illegal.
