OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.
Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

We are moving fast toward a dire situation. Environmental problems have been there for a while, but the pace is increasing. Power has never been so concentrated and disconnected from the population. Civilization collapse is around the corner, and won't be geographically contained.
The richest man on earth owns X.
The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.
The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.
See the problem here?

Three things to do to support Wikipedia:
1. Dump Google. Make DuckDuckGo with AI turned off your default search.
2. When the information you want is not in Wikipedia and you find it elsewhere leave a comment on an article talk page pointing to it.
3. If you have the means, donate time or money.

« Le fascisme ne se lève pas comme la tempête en une nuit.
D’abord rampant, dissimulé, ordinaire, il progresse par les voix de la haine, avivée par les difficultés économiques.
Il s’empare des cœurs avant de pervertir les esprits puis de prendre le pouvoir. »
