Yโ€™all, Spotifyโ€™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 languageโ€”moneyโ€”so letโ€™s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.

POLITICO: โ€œ.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and โ€˜the watermelon peopleโ€™ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

#OtD 15 Oct 1966 in Oakland, CA, the Black Panther Party for Self Defence was set up. The Party would exist, despite heavy repression, until 1982 and did things like feed breakfast to children and run community health clinics. Learn more: shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/...

Bill Burr Defends Performing at Controversial Riyadh Comedy Festival: โ€œTheyโ€™re Just Like Usโ€ The actor-comedian details his experience at the event: "Definitely one of the top three experiences I've ever had ... I think it's going to lead to a lot of positive things."

Setting aside the red line of performing in Saudi Arabia, this defense is so bereft of any sophistication about life beyond the US. Yes, people everywhere are just like us. Welcome to the world. Thatโ€™s precisely why they do not deserve to be enslaved, disappeared, caned, dismembered.

Idiot.

Iโ€™m gonna keep saying it:

Dems, run on vengeance and Iโ€™ll vote for you. First time in almost 2 decades. Seriously. Promise ruthless pursuit of every fascist fuckstain, lay out a plan for chasing them to the corners of the earth.

Iโ€™ll even do the Truffle Shuffle.

Jon Stewartโ€™s emergency slot-in at the Daily Show was a cringe-inducing swing and a miss. A moment to set an example of defiance, rendered both uninspiring and unwatchable. Like nails on a blackboard.

Enough. Either call for talent strikes or NY and CAโ€™s soft-secession, or gtfo.

But also, I could not be less interested in anyoneโ€™s hot take at this point. If youโ€™re not actively sharing tactical expertise for sabotage, community self-defense, or doxxing shitheads โ€” I ainโ€™t reading all that.

We are past analysis. Enough. We have eyes.

Local supermarket was running clearance on veggies last night. Scored a small pumpkin + a bag the size of my head of Thai eggplant and long beans (each) for 5 MYR โ€”about โ‚ฌ1โ€“ total. 3 blocks of tempeh for about the same.

Breakfast spoils.
