Tidal is a great replacement option and you can use Tune My Music to transfer all your playlists and songs from Spotify in minutes. Fuck ICE.

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."

Wrote this in Nov. 2024: “Despite the potential to restore baseline civility to the highest office of the land, America found it too big a pill to swallow if it meant elevating a Black woman to do the job.”https://theemancipator.org/2024/11/09/topics/movements/the-black-press-democratized-america/

lol #NoKingsDay is a DIRECT result of people not hiring a qualified Black woman and I think there's an IMPORTANT lesson to learn from that.

I didn't get a picture of the best sign I saw today, but I remember what it said:

Somewhere in America
A little Hispanic girl
Is hiding in an attic
And keeping a diary.

Aware we can always do more, proud of anyone exerting the effort they can, hopeful things can change for the better (especially for people of color, as always).

They are arriving because of the mass mobilizations and they have figured out that Twitter isn't going to be the main space to monitor activity.

It's so difficult to cohere a strategy in this moment. We're all over the map and it's difficult to choose specific places where we can work together. I truly appreciate everyone who is trying to figure things out.

Why aren’t elected officials, ie those with the power to stop this, doing anything to stop it??

If white people on the left can’t accept that at the end of the day the issue is race, we won’t get through this. We’re on the cusp of the Supreme Court handing segregationists & white nationalists a huge win. And they know it. This is why we lose elections. More than anything, so imagine post-sec2.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Another thing about that group chat? The ‘boys will be boys’ mentality also paved the way for that group chat. Particularly when you consider that only certain ‘boys’ are given that grace.

White boys.

While Black boys are assigned manhood status as teenagers and predator status at all ages.
