Cancel Spotify. Get everyone you know to cancel Spotify.

Spotify needs to become the prime example of what happens when these platforms run ICE ads.

Spotify responded that the ads do not violate its policies.

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+.

Daniel Ek's investments in AI dronemaker Helsing have unnerved artists. One called Spotify a "violent armageddon portal."

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed.

We are so fortunate when people from other countries offer us support despite the vitriol they’ve experienced coming from our direction. I have friends in Canada, Europe, New Zealand, and Australia and they love the US. They understand how many of us are trying to fight back.

Rural communities are some of the hardest hit by climate change, and they’re also facing some of the largest shortages of workers needed to address climate change. In this Colorado town, local businesses are partnering with colleges to bridge the gap.

Skilled tradespeople are the climate workforce rural areas need most

In Colorado, industry and higher ed are teaming up to grow the rural climate workforce of tomorrow.

One of my favorite photos I took today—in the heart of Chicago on Michigan Ave.. You can count many American flags, Chicago flags, pro democracy signs, & anti-fascist signs.

0 flags to a politician, confederacy, or Nazis. MAGAs claim patriotism—but its anti-fascist Americans who actually embody it.

NYC is so "out of control and crime ridden" that NYPD had to arrest (checks note) exactly zero people today.

100,000+ protestors. ZERO arrests.

ZERO.

This isn't only a major slap in Trump's face. It proves YET AGAIN that the only violence ICE fascists are facing, is violence ICE fascists incite.

On Jan 6, MAGA insurrectionists smeared feces on the halls of Congress.

Today, the MAGA cult leader Donald Trump posted an AI generated video of him smearing feces on peaceful protestors.

Trump is not an aberration of modern day conservatism—he’s a manifestation of it.

Honolulu No Kings. About 30-50% more than June I think (my pictures didn’t capture the crowd very well).
