Now that we have even more reasons to boycott Spotify, I thought Iโ€™d repost this video from @cutoffthespigot.bsky.social with recommendations for more ethical alternatives.

Federal Judge Jeffrey Cummings has found that ICE agents violated the terms of a consent decree by detaining people without proper warrants. He ruled that as of this week ICE must wear body cams at all times and can face arrest and contempt proceedings if they conduct unlawful, warrantless arrests.

We can shut it all down.

Start organizing your communities. We will need to prep with strike funds and mutual aid networks.

Friends, I leave you with a bedtime story tonight.

Technically it could probably be classified as a musical, too. Super catchy tune!

Either way, enjoy!

Have a good night y'all๐Ÿ’œ

What we saw on No King's Day, with people on the streets was the tip of the iceberg of people who feel the way those crowds do. For every one who made it to the street, there is a host of others who wish they could have been there.

Californians, this is it. In honor of the No Kings protests and to protect democracy, get that Prop 50 ballot in and vote YES.

Remind your friends, your family, and everyone you knowโ€”democracy only works if we do.

Holy crap. I missed this.
I think a General Strike is an excellent option to end this but I havenโ€™t heard any political figure call for it. Itโ€™s a bold move.
I think a good move.

#NoKingsDayOct18th was not just about fighting the Trump regime.

It's about building a better future.

We need something to fight for.

The thing about these grindset lifestyle posts is that they're all fake. None of it is real.

Q: "Trump authorized military strikes...in the Caribbean. 20 people have been killed in six different strikes. Do you believe these strikes are legal?"

Sen. Rand Paul:" "No...These people have been blown up without us knowing their name or any evidence of a crime."

What is Trump talking about when he says he wants to go after โ€œDemocrat programsโ€?

Healthcare? Clean air? Safe food?

These arenโ€™t โ€œDemocrat programs.โ€ These are people programs.

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trumpโ€™s El Salvador prison deal To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukeleโ€™s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

The chaos, corruption, & cruelty from the administration of waste, fraud, & abuse is staggering.

Use #NoKings๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿ‘‘ energy & find specific ways to #pushBack. Need ideas, just ask! I have loads of suggestions!

Is Spotify running ICE recruitment ads? Here are the facts The advertising "is part of a broad campaign the US government is running" across various platforms โ€” not just Spotify, a spokesperson told Snopes.

Cancel SPOTIFY.

They are running ICE ads.

F them.

Itโ€™s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnsonโ€™s covering up Jeffrey Epsteinโ€™s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Cops led us into the street as the new โ€œprotest zoneโ€ and then beat us repeatedly.

Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.

Stay safe out there.

No fingerprint or DNA tests were conducted in Jeffrey Epstein's cell after his death. Sus AF.

Release the Epstein files. Now.
