Don’t Stream Fascism: Cancel Spotify

Spotify is running ads recruiting agents for ICE, the federal agency charged with mass deportation and surveillance of immigrant communities....Spotify claims these ads comply with their policy, but the truth is streaming hate is not neutral. It’s a choice.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Wait, did they edit an interview? Did they not air every second?

I heard that’s grounds for a multimillion lawsuit

Very moronic Tom Cotton doesn't seem to get that his personal savior and dear leader Trump is the one who SCREWED the farmers in his district. Screwed them with TARIFFS! It's a cult.

(between images of the Spotify logo that have been crossed out) DON’T STREAM FASCISM 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

Trump's Nuclear Socialism You’re worried about Mamdani? The real socialism is coming from inside the White House.

"[1] The government decides that nuclear power should be
built.

[2] selects the private company to build it.

[3] then extracts an ownership position in the company,
whose value has been created by the government.

How is this different from the way the Chinese Communist Party operates?"

China bought 27 million metric tons of soybeans from US farmers in 2024. But somehow this “deal” to buy significantly less is a huge victory.

NEW: About 90,000 people living near larger chemical plants face an unacceptable risk of developing cancer, the EPA says.

New rules adopted last year could’ve cut that number to 3,000 residents — a drop of 97%.

But Trump has halted those efforts.

I strongly agree--both because I personally believe that it's the right thing to do and also because the evidence supports it--that rapidly addressing poverty, health inequity, and food/water insecurity should be a first-order priority. Full stop. No argument there. [3/n]
