Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek, is another techno-fascist billionaire.

He’s invested in AI that specializes in war, surveillance and violence, so it’s no surprise he’s fine with running ICE ads on Spotify.

If you haven’t already, cancel your Spotify subscriptions. Let’s make them feel like Disney+.

An email issued to federal workers on Tuesday blatantly pinned the shutdown on Democrats.

This language violates the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch. It could also violate the Hatch Act, designed to limit partisan messaging from federal employees. trib.al/ciHfkZt

CW: Sexual assault

In multiple states, men have impersonated ICE agents to kidnap and assault women.

This is one of many reasons we shouldn't have a masked, unaccountable secret police force roaming the streets. Our elected officials can and must act now: www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-po...

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES! 👀

The DOJ has digital tools to search 100,000 Epstein files in seconds, so why did 1,000 federal employees work 24-hour shifts to flag Trump’s name?

Because it’s not about finding the truth. It’s about controlling the narrative.

If there’s nothing to hide, release the files.

This is odd and just another reminder that we’re living inside a propaganda machine. Fox News reporters rode along with the ICE-led convoy, entering and exiting vehicles with federal agents, attempting to capture footage that would paint the raids, and Trump’s agenda, in a positive light.

Polygraph testing of federal employees is picking up again, and it’s starting to look pretty sketchy. At the FBI, the focus has shifted. These tests aren’t just about clearances or access to sensitive info anymore.

Trump just suggested that his administration has been considering whether it could “run” Washington, D.C.

Our national parks are in trouble.

Since Trump returned to office, the National Park Service has lost nearly a quarter of its full-time staff. That’s thousands of people who used to care for trails, run visitor centers, respond to emergencies, and protect the land, gone.
