THANK YOU. Deplatforming and focus shifting ! Actually asking to hear from the targets .

Calling themselves a labor union has always been hilarious to me. They do not stand with ANY OTHER LABOR UNIONS.

In response to our questions, the North Carolina GOP’s comms director, Matt Mercer, wrote that ProPublica was waging a “jihad” against Republicans in the state, which would “not be met with dignifying any comments whatsoever.”

Do not go back to Spotify, and today is a good day to get a friend or family member to cancel and tell Spotify why

Primate lacks any meaningful depth and the attempts just fall flat but the deaths are delightfully sinister with a dash of petty.

Personally I’m a believer that when a business fucks up on such a level (esp when those in charge haven’t been canned) it shows there is no genuine change. Caving under pressure means they’re biding their time till they can get away with it. So, boycott till they are out of business. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Spotify stopped running ICE ads only because DHS is no longer buying spots. Spotify didn’t cave under pressure. The government stopped paying for time. That’s no reason to end a boycott. Bring back MP3 players and make playlists. Own your music ad free.

Yeah, I mean ICE detained “Marilyn” from Northern Exposure in November. She gave them her tribal ID, they said it looked fake. She tried to call the enrollment office for them, they tried to take her phone. They don’t want to know. They just want to terrorize. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

that’s why they say “all cops” and not “some cops”

Ho. Ly. Shit! Any responsible person who carries a gun knows you have to have the fucking safety on. This just shows that these mofos should absolutely NOT be allowed to carry weapons.

A career federal agent says that in 25 years, a fleeing vehicle has never justified killing its occupant, and officers should never stand in front of a running car. CBS reportedly pulled the interview, but it posted on YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

It was never about where a person is from, it was always about the colour of a person's skin.

Those of you who still insist on drawing a distinction between ICE and police should be aware that the police are not drawing that distinction.

I think about how we talked about how “passing” isn’t genetics or even phrenology, but a performance. Because whiteness isn’t a culture, it’s a political stance. So these women choosing a politics defying white supremacy aren't white in any meaningful way to whiteness' guards.

So disappointing

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...

I have verified that Keith Porter Jr’s father created this GoFundMe and is asking to support his grandchildren

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

Texans, your state has agreed to turn over your voter registration information to Trump. What are you going to do about it?

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles. It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

Reminder that it's REALLY REALLY easy (like 5 mins) to switch from spotify to Deezer using www.tunemymusic.com I'm sure Deezer has problems too, but telling spotify to fuck off is a start!

Its CEO is still investing in military AI, so...

"[executive chairman Daniel] Ek’s €600m investment in the military AI company Helsing, of which he is also chairman, has also been a source of discontent among musicians and listeners"

As soon as this started spreading I assumed it was just over and they wanted to act like they did anything. It’s getting easier to read past the bs.

Keep this in mind.

saw people saying that TBS stopped airing ICE ads during AEW Dynamite because of public outcry and... yeah this right here seems more likely

Have they wiped all the AI slop from their platform? Did the CEO take back the military funding? Fuck 'em.

Not going back to Spotify bc the only reason they aren’t running ICE ads is because the campaign ended. Meaning if the government did another campaign, Spotify has no issue putting the ads back on. Continue cancel Spotify.

If you believe protecting troops was New York Times and Washington Post’s motivation then you haven’t been paying attention. They’ve shown who they are time and again. Time for them to go out of business. So STOP SHARING THEIR FUCKING ARTICLES. Doing the work of keeping oppressors in business.

They won’t impeach Trump. Nothing but a bunch of cowards and bootlickers in congress.

A white man is walking his dog…on the roof of the building across from me. Nasty af.

Happy New Year! I hope blessings follow you and I throughout this year.

Please repost so I can start the new year with my rent paid and food in my tummy :(

Can we have the serious convo about withholding taxes as individuals or states and/or discuss labor shutdowns of untold levels. Bc these mfers need to hurt or we need to hurt the elite supporting them.

Trump bombed Nigeria on Christmas Day claiming he’s “fighting ISIS and stopping Christian genocide.” Nigerian Christians attest that the violence seen is real but not based on religious discrimination, & Trump’s framing as such makes Nigerian Christians less safe www.qasimrashid.com/p/nigeria-ch...

This evil is what Nicki Minaj has been manufacturing consent for.

Walmart has long been a facilitator of fraud on a mass scale, a ProPublica investigation found. More than $1 billion in fraud losses were routed through the company’s financial services between 2013 and 2022. (Published Jan. 2024)

GOP operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, convicted election fraudsters, were paid $960,000 in the second quarter to secure a pardon for a former nursing-home operator who defrauded the government of $38 million. Trump pardoned the man, Joseph Schwartz, last month.

Enforce it. Anyone else would be in trouble. Stop giving them a fucking pass.

The director of Minnesota’s Driver and Vehicle Services is warning U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents that they’re violating state law and could be cited if they switch out or remove license plates on their unmarked vehicles.

Because Musk isn’t content to destroy only one Texas ecosystem.

Lord these folks always want to make it like the family is be-all-end-all bc they are scared shitless that ppl’ll realize not only can you find your kin elsewhere, but you can thrive when you don’t delude yourself that you have to put up with family toxicity.

Just checked the stats on this and am humbled by how many people read this. Thank you all! Fingers crossed this helps the people still in the building having to fight for their money every invoice. Hopefully, it also helps other freelancers avoid missed checks and Josh’s weird DMs.

The most important story many aren't talking about: we've become an airline style economy in which 10% of us enjoy First Class, responsible for 50% of the consumption, while the other 90% of Americans are responsible for the other 50%. It's not only unsustainable, but collapsing as you read this.

Again who we support and let thrive is the ACTUAL battle

So that instructor was fired from OU bc of that grifting bitch. The only way to show them they fucked up is hurt their wallets, from the alumni to students no longer applying to their school, even switching schools. Fuck them.

Israel Katz says military units will be established inside the Palestinian enclave, in contravention of truce agreement.
