Spotify Faces Heat After ICE Recruitment Ads Surface — NYC Comptroller Wants Answers Brad Lander, a trustee of New York City’s pension funds, expressed concern about “reputational risks” to Spotify.

Thank you to NYC Comptroller @bradlander.bsky.social for his leadership in demanding answers from Spotify.

Stop paying for or using Spotify until they stop running ads that help ICE recruit more agents to infringe our rights and terrorize our communities: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti...

Today, I made a promise to the people of Maine: when it comes to fighting for your healthcare, I will always hold the line — and I will not blink.

Susan Collins sent me and my friends to die in Iraq twenty years ago.

She learned nothing from it.

I firmly believe the risk is running an establishment candidate that is not trying something new.

Senate Democrats need to hold the line. No healthcare, no deal.

Mainers want a Democratic Party that fights for them, not one that rolls over.

When we fight, we win.

It’s not about left versus right, it’s about the top 1% versus the bottom 99%.

Families 'Horrified' After Daycare Teacher Pulled Out Of Preschool By Armed Federal Agents The incident happened in front of parents and children at Rayito de Sol in North Center, a parent said. They believe the

Trump’s ICE goons dragged a childcare worker out of a bilingual daycare and preschool in front of children and parents.

This is who Trump claims is the “worst of the worst” — a woman who has dedicated her life to educating and caring for children.

The cruelty is the point.

The Republican plan for healthcare? Not have one.

If you appeal a court order directing you to feel hungry children as directed by the law, you don't care about your citizens' health.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

There is light at the end of this tunnel.

Keep fighting.
Keep organizing.
Keep voting.
Keep protesting.
Keep boycotting.
Keep informing.
Keep resisting.
Keep hoping.

We will not only get through this—we will end fascist and oligarchic rule, and build a democratic future that works for all of us.

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

Check out local TV coverage (from multiple stations) of our huge rally yesterday to save absentee voting in Maine.

We're focusing on the issues. Not the noise.

‘It’s just all unfair’: Michigan mother given 48 hours to leave country after living in US for 20 years A Michigan mother was told to leave the United States within 48 hours after living there for 20 years.

"Throughout their time in the U.S., the family has kept up with immigration requirements.

'She’s never done anything and she’s just the nicest person in the world. I don’t get it'.”

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

(below a photo of masked ICE agents) “ICE goes masked for a single reason-to terrorize Americans into quiescence.

Small wonder ICE often seems to need our respected military to guard them as they go about implementing our immigration laws... Can you imagine a masked Marine? It is a matter of honor-and honor still matters.

To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan.”
