Don’t Stream Fascism: Cancel Spotify

Spotify is now running ICE recruitment ads. We asked them to stop. They ignored us. Let's show them what we showed Disney. No Kings, No Collaborators, No Capitulators. indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

I hear you. The cruelty and criminality is astonishing. I have to work hard to not let their bad acts cause me to lower my principles.

The Conservative Justices Chose to Make Anthony Boyd Suffer Anthony Boyd, whom the state of Alabama executed last week, asked the justices to spare him from execution by nitrogen hypoxia. They said no.

Anthony Boyd asked Supreme Court justices to spare him from a torturous death by nitrogen hypoxia. They said no. His execution took 37 minutes. This is barbarous.

Trump demolishing the east wing of the White House is an apt visual for what he is doing to this country. Jesus f*cking Christ.
