Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE.

A platform built to connect creators and listeners is helping an authoritarian regime build up its secret police force.

But we’re not going to idly accept that. We’re going to make Spotify listen: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

Don’t fund collaborators. #CancelSpotify until they stop recruiting for ICE.

Terrifying. Now, if you don’t agree with the Administration’s policies on Israel, you are antisemitic and an enemy of the United States (even if you are Jewish!) and subject to legal and financial penalties as a “supporter of terrorism.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/u...

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.

This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

Read it.

On the Alien Enemies Act proclamation, we have several matters of immediate importance pending.

First, after a TRO was denied in the N.D.Texas district court on Thursday, lawyers have gone to the Fifth Circuit and the Supreme Court seeking emergency relief.

They also went to Boasberg in J.G.G.

Abrego Garcia may or may not be a criminal. I may or may not be a criminal. Justice hasn’t weighed in.

But we know with 100% certainty that the people who kidnapped Garcia and trafficked him to an El Salvadoran torture camp and letting him rot there are scummy criminals. The absolute worst people
