Portland spooky stuff!

‘Detain first and ask questions later’: Oregon ICE arrests shot up in October The Portland Immigrants Rights Coalition reported 329 arrests in Oregon last month.

ICE is an out-of-control federal agency terrorizing our communities. Their aggressive tactics and abusive behavior in Washington County and across Oregon are outrageous and dangerous.

Don’t Stream Fascism: Cancel Spotify

I'm canceling my Spotify subscription until the ICE ads are removed. Streaming hate is a choice and I refuse to fund it. #CancelSpotify app.sosha.ai/s/4UanCb0i

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

Apparently not. I have zero faith in the Democratic party.

Awesome!

Woohoo!

The Trump Shutdown is the longest in US history.

House Republicans aren’t even in DC — they’re hiding out at home for the 5th week in a row.

As the GOP does nothing, federal workers are missing paychecks, families are going hungry, air travel is becoming a nightmare, and our economy is sputtering.

The Trump administration’s chaotic tariff policies raise costs and harm Oregonians, Americans, and the economy. It is the role of Congress, not the president working on his own, to implement tariffs when appropriate. 🧵

(between images of the Spotify logo that have been crossed out) DON’T STREAM FASCISM Spotify is treating ICE recruitment like just another ad. But when you turn family separation into a marketing pitch, you're not a platform — you're spreading propaganda. • Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads • Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts. • Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.

YouTube video by Indivisible Tutorial: How to cancel your Spotify subscription

FYI if you have a Spotify membership, Indivisible is asking people to cancel until they stop running ICE recruitment ads. Instructions on how to do it here: www.youtube.com/shorts/TKp7c...

Canceled.

I'm sure a court will put a stop to it, but not before Junior gets a big payday.

Cancelled my Spotify in protest of their running of ICE recruitment ads. Cancel yours, too! It's easy!

Thanks for the heads up @indivisible.org !

Yeah, I don't really see my artist and software engineering friends forming a militia any time soon.

But I am protesting in an inflatable outfit. Maybe I'll join the frogs.

Nope. It did not.

I was getting my information from the 1619 project. So, I agree with you. However, I think the 2nd amendment was a concession to the slave owning states. Those states wanted guarantees they could enforce their own slavery practices without interference from Northern states.

Hmm. Maybe you're right. I was getting my information from the 1619 Project which made the 2nd amendment make so much more sense in why it was adopted into the bill of rights.

How many other modern democracies have an amendment like that?

Maybe the real answer is in the middle?

Unfortunately, the 2nd amendment was because slave owning states could have their own forces to capture escaped slaves. It was never about taking arms against its own government.

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva — because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein Files. The GOP is doing everything they can to keep Trump's Epstein cover-up going.

I mean, if you can avoid all the bombs and gun fire in this war zone. 😂
