It's officially #SpotifyWrapped season, so we're flipping the script by unwrapping Spotify. Tell them to drop ICE ads now!
Since Spotify won’t protect immigrant communities, we’re using their own celebration to hold them accountable. Cancel your subscription to get them to pull the plug on ICE

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

Trump crypto partner Alt5 Sigma told the SEC its auditor quit in Nov.
We called the auditor.
He resigned in August.
That's the second SEC filing with an apparent conflict that Alt5 Sigma has made in recent weeks.

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

I want to see Trump sit down and personally sign all 1,600 pardons he used auto pen on for the Jan 6th insurrectionists.
Either that or want to see police go and pick all of them up right now and throw them all back in prison.
If Biden’s auto pen pardons are no good then neither are Trump’s.

Pete Hegseth is deploying 500 more National Guard troops to D.C., even though a judge has ruled the move illegal. Again Gaurds are being put in a situation where the order is illegal.

Trump was at his West Palm Beach golf course when the National Guard shooting took place.
Trump has already spent $70 million of taxpayer money on golfing in less than a year as president.
If this pace keeps up, he will spend $300 million playing golf by the time his second term ends.

The emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is.
There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”
