We need to do everything we can to fight against this
Spotify is now instituting face scans and ID checks ... to listen to music.
Porn was only ever the excuse. The only thing that surprises me is how quickly the government surveillance mandate has spread to absolutely every service we use.

A spokesperson for the Freedom Flotilla Coalition tells me:
“Chris Smalls is still in Givon Prison and despite repeated requests to meet with the U.S. Embassy has been ignored by his country after being abducted by the IOF in international waters.”

Israel has illegally boarded and kidnapped the crew of the Handala aid flotilla.
They had no weapons. They were delivering baby formula and prosthetic limbs for children to try and stop the genocide in Gaza

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.
The First Planned Migration of an Entire Country Is Underway
The Pacific island nation of Tuvalu could be submerged in 25 years due to rising sea levels, so a plan is being implemented to relocate its population to Australia.

Israel: when forcefully starving children we orphaned in concentration camps just isn't enough cruelty for us, we'll execute a few of them Hunger Games-style for daring to get food. We'll keep track of who keeps quiet and refuses to speak up against us doing this day after day, you're the real ones.

Fuerza responds to scenes where alleged ICE enforcement is reported. If officers are indeed with ICE, they hit record and spread the word. They also speak directly with those being detained.

Seriously risking World War 3 as a distraction for Zionist genocidal land theft is about as Israeli as it gets.
The Israeli government has effectively legalized the annexation of over 60% of the West Bank, but no one’s talking about it. Here’s what this means for Palestinians. mondoweiss.net/2025/06/isra...
Israel just changed how land ownership works in the West Bank. Here’s what that means.

I will only be keeping images and, the names if given or shown. This is great though. If anyone knows of folks doing anything like this tell them to keep a database copy abroad. Foreigners aren’t bound by U.S. laws. And if caught it can trigger the global release of the database.

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference.
But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

Sen. Padilla pushed to ground, handcuffed for demanding DHS not lie
Forcibly removing a sitting US senator, as they opposed the president's immigration policy, is a part of a broader slide.

this is horrifying - they would rather spend money kidnapping children than house and feed people.
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
