Don’t Stream Fascism: Cancel Spotify

It's outrageous that Spotify is running ICE ads. I'm moving to another streaming platform that doesn't profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE. #CancelSpotify app.sosha.ai/s/QNSlGguW

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

Mass layoffs in affordable energy will cause project delays and cancellations, while we cede ground to China. It is a Big Beautiful Betrayal of the American people.

China is quickly becoming the world's first electro-state, while the US, under Republican rule, has decides to cede the future and double down on its role as a petro-state.

One of the central principles in the Hong Kong pro-democracy protest movement was:

Do Not Split

So much for the First Amendment

To pass a free and democratic world on to our children, we’re just being asked to take principled public stands, refuse to capitulate to corruption, and take collective action including with those with whom we disagree.

Voters are not as worried about democrats being "woke" as they are about democrats being weak. Sure, bending to activist excesses can take a toll on the ability to define yourself to regular voters, but the overarching lesson here to to fight for what you stand for.

Hagen Scotten vaccinates against MAGA’s epidemic of moral cowardice: “If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion.
