Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed.

THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

Earth Wind & Fire’s co-writer Allee Willis said she told the band: “We can’t leave ‘baa-dee-ya’ in the chorus. That has to mean something.’”

Maurice White replied: “No, that feels great. That’s what people are going to remember. We’re leaving it.”

Wake up, America, or I fear we may not have elections in 2028.

Am I the only person who remembers 2018 “Trump Tariff Relief” program, a $41B bailout paid for by US taxpayers after DT started a trade war by slapping China w/tariffs, but they retaliated by slapping tariffs on US soybean/corn/wheat, so China simply bought from our competitors (Canada & MX)?

Is this supposed to be a threat? They did this exact thing while the government was open

This is supposedly a stripper clip with the rounds found at the scene of the shooting in Dallas today.

It’s like someone is intentionally trying to see what level of dumb shit the American people will accept as truth.

Remember how MAGA swore Milei was turning Argentina around and his radical cuts were the blueprint we needed to use here?

Well, now Argentina’s stock market is the worst on the planet and we’re giving them a $20 billion dollar bailout.

Fun times.

Because Sun Tzu was correct...(?)😕

Where are the Epstein files? Why does Trump have a crypto scheme that allows for bribes that can’t be traced?

This is delusional but you don’t have to read the whole thing.

Boils down to: he’s shutting down the government because he thinks he’s a king.

Without USAID, Conservation and Tourism Projects Have Ground to a Halt From the Colombian Amazon to Malawi's Liwonde National Park, grants from the US government have been ended leaving local development projects in the lurch.

ICE Is Deporting People to Africa on Nearly Un-Trackable Military Flights Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is deporting people to African countries like Ghana on military flights that are nearly un-trackable.

It’s likely that this happened to them, in which case, again, this should be much bigger news. We can’t just disappear thousands of people without notifying anyone

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
