Delete the app. Don't use it. They are proudly promoting ICE ads, and the CEO is just a trash human being.
Make an example of one company. All they worship is money. The color green trumps all others.

Need everybody to bring the same fire they had for Jimmy Kimmel to this
✅ He fired a U.S. Attorney who refused to bring charges against her
✅ He replaced them with someone with NO prosecutorial experience
This isn't justice. This is retaliation.
When Black women do their jobs with excellence, they face attacks. But AG James isn't backing down, and neither should we.

One under appreciated side effect of great wealth inequality is how fucking deranged it makes the hyper-rich who no longer have contact with anyone other than sycophants or fellow, broken-brained uber-rich weirdos.

The thing we absolutely must drive home to the public is that the Trump administration's immigration policy is being run by committed white supremacists. This is not rhetoric or hyperbole; it is absolutely literally true, and they're increasingly not bothering to hide it.
