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.

Do you use Spotify Premium? Cancel your subscription until Spotify stops running ICE ads. There are other streaming options that don’t profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

Question for everyone getting excited about a “$2,000 tariff dividend check”: what did you spend that $5,000 stimulus check you were promised from DOGE on?

We are now living in a timeline where a Muslim is protecting New York City against America's #1 enemy: The American president.

Traditional American politics is premised on the notion that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win and you have to deal with that.

But Trumpism is premised on the notion that any result where you don’t win is illegitimate, unlawful, fraud, criminal.

You can’t negotiate with people like that.

The same people accusing Democrats of choosing a communist to run New York City are perfectly fine having a fascist run the country.

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...

Don’t laugh at this. Don’t dismiss this. I hear the same regularly from Trump’s base. Take it seriously. Understand it. So we can defeat it. Because we must defeat it.👇

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

“Pro-life” MAGA sure does love dictators who indiscriminately bomb innocent civilians daily, kidnap children, rig elections, plunder resources, jail journalists, torture and murder political opponents, and poison dissidents.

I came up with a term, “Vichy Democrats.” And then I thought, surely someone else has come up with this already. And upon Googling found that, yes, many people have. That being said, this should be a much more common term in our vernacular. #vichydemocrats

Many people and institutions that fight back are winning.

This is a large part of the reason to scorn the people and institutions that have caved. When this is over their lives should be made miserable. More, I mean.
