Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed.

THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

Make no mistake:

Alligator Alcatraz IS a concentration camp, and they absolutely ARE planning genocide and ‘ethnic cleansing.’

As a white person, i don’t know what I can do to help, but if all I have is my voice, I will make sure it’s heard.

With the passage of Trump’s big bullshit bill, it’s time to post this again. Never seen a better, more accurate description of this guy.

Just gotta say, with all of the shit happening around us, watching Pete Crowe-Armstrong (PCA) play for the Chicago Cubs this season is quite a salve for the soul. #baseball #chicago #chicagocubs #mlb

Musk is rumored to spend $40M on Super Bowl ads with his wildly distorted claims attacking USAID. Don’t believe them.

The last round are debunked below. wapo.st/3ErHBZM

Racism SHOULD offend every decent person in America no matter their race or origin. The NFL leadership just told us everything we need to know about them.

Big ups to @signal.org @meredithmeredith.bsky.social for allowing usernames instead of phone numbers last year (signal.org/blog/phone-n...).

Washington basically runs on Signal right now and that one change has made reporting and whistleblowing way more private and secure.

This is by far the most ominous and completely self-serving action by the PayPal Mafia and TechBros. #Musk doesn't want to be subject to ANY #CFPB oversight of his new payment system - X Money Account. prospect.org/economy/2025...

Watching Mexico and Canada stand up to Trump gave me hope again.

And with Europe's anger over Elon's Nazi salute & boycott of Tesla, it helps me to know our allies are fighting back too.💙

While it may be true that Democrats in leadership are struggling to figure what to fight for,

the biggest problem is that they haven’t figured out HOW to fight AT ALL.

I have often said that there is a BIG difference between Democratic leaders, and leaders of Democrats.

“A Digital Coup”: by @davidpepperoh.bsky.social

Musk has done 2 things: he's grabbed the most influential digital megaphone in the world & plugged himself into the personal information of every American. This is a digital coup, embedding itself into the core IT infrastructure of federal agencies"
