Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads.

These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.

They’re all fucking getting paid, except for the musician.”

This is such an important perspective on learning and ability, and it applies to all sorts of "functioning"/ability schemes; the refusal to adjust the status quo patterns creates the problem, not a person's difference. Although, don't read the New York Times. Don't click their content: screenshot it

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

Also an important lesson for cis White folks (straight men especially): Your threat of withholding support or allyship means less than nothing to anyone historically marginalized. It's literally the baseline assumption we work from. You're not "showing us," you're just confirming our expectations.
Tell your state troopers to refuse to participate in the ICE operations in Broadview! Release protestors that have been arrested there!

They are knocking down doors and dragging screaming kids out into the night. I don't know what to say aside from this is it. This is the goal. They have always wanted to make an example of Chicago and it's not as if they haven't other places & other ways. All of it. This is fascism, plain & simple.

Re-sharing & asking you to amplify: Every single fact about the South Shore federal raid just days ago is worse than the last. They kicked in doors & dragged Chicago families out in the middle of the night. I know we're all stressed but THIS IS VERY BAD blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/02/s...
