They are directly bribing ffotus and supporting tearing down much of the WH, elevating his gaudy vanity project, raising the deficit, and reallocating resources away from food resources, health care, education, and housing.

Apple, Amazon, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Google, Coinbase, Comcast and Meta are just some of the major companies who have made donations to build President Donald Trump's proposed 90,000-square-foot ballroom, according to the White House. https://cnn.it/47yWmpP

If you're a UVA alumni, call the alumni office and let them know how you feel about this craven act of cowardice: 👇

Blue Virginia @bluevirginia.bsky.social · 3d

UVA "agrees to be bound by [DoJ's] 'Guidance for Recipients of Federal Funding Regarding Unlawful Discrimination,' ensuring that UVA does not engage in unlawful racial discrimination in its university programming, admissions, hiring, or other activities." bluevirginia.us/2025/10/brea...

Today, the U.S. Department of Justice announced an agreement with the University of Virginia (“UVA”) that will protect UVA’s students, faculty, and employees from violations of federal civil rights laws, including from discrimination based on race, sex, or national origin.

As part of the agreement, the University of Virginia agrees to be bound by the Department of Justice’s “Guidance for Recipients of Federal Funding Regarding Unlawful Discrimination,” ensuring that UVA does not engage in unlawful racial discrimination in its university programming, admissions, hiring, or other activities. UVA will provide relevant information and data to the Department of Justice on a quarterly basis through 2028. The President of UVA will personally certify each quarter that UVA is in compliance with the agreement. The Department will pause its pending investigations into the university’s admissions policies and other civil rights concerns. The United States shall treat UVA as eligible for future grants and awards. If UVA completes its planned reforms prohibiting DEI at the university, the Department will close its investigations against UVA.

“This notable agreement with the University of Virginia will protect students and faculty from unlawful discrimination, ensuring that equal opportunity and fairness are restored,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Civil Rights Division. “We appreciate the progress that the university has made in combatting antisemitism and racial bias, and other American universities should be on alert that the Justice Department will ensure that our federal civil rights laws are enforced for every American, without exception.”

ICE plans to hire private contractors for round-the-clock social media surveillance to track immigrants and activists.

Nearly 30 contractors sift through posts, photos, and messages—to be transformed into intelligence for deportation raids and arrests.

The police state is here.

Target is already hurting from the boycott. How about expanding to include McDonald’s and Walmart as well as Spotify, & telling companies to pull ads from Google & Meta?

Thoughts?

Within the Black community, one heard lots of comments suggesting that the “No Kings” protest was not something we should bother with.

Google, McDonald’s, Meta, Target, Tractor Supply, and Walmarts all caved on DEI. Let’s try to get them to reverse that.

The reasons for this are sound: no ads for 🧊!

We’re collecting suggestions for alternatives:

Spotify (many excellent commenters here!)
Pocketcast
Overcast
Pandora
Idagio (just music, mostly classical)
Apple Podcasts
