Do you use Spotify Premium? Cancel your subscription until Spotify stops running ICE ads. There are other streaming options that don’t profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

Kudos to @cmdropatlargeca for somehow making sweaty overcompensation in a cheap duster even more deeply uncool than it already is
“If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever.” ~ (George Orwell).
Ed Krassenstein

In Durango, Colorado, a masked ICE agent ripped a peaceful protester’s phone out of her hand, then grabbed her by the hair and dragged her across a parking lot.

MAGA is watching state-sanctioned brutality play out in real time, and pretending it’s “normal”.

Dems need to do more to broadcast that they're taking actions like this.
BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.

Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

Cool we can fund SNAP, pay air traffic controllers, ACA subsidies, all kinds of stuff. Right when we really need it. When do we get the cash?
“In our age there is no such thing as ‘keeping out of politics.’ All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia.” ~ (George Orwell).
Too many people thought this politics shit was a game they could just opt out of. No. A lot of people are going to die. Could be in the millions. Fuck.
“It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.”

“All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.” ~ (George Orwell).
Vet Voice Foundation CEO Janessa Goldbeck warns a new Pentagon order is "an attempt by the president to normalize a national, militarized police force."

She fears it could be used to "suppress turnout and disrupt the fair operation of elections."

They must expect a lot of people all over the country to be really upset about something next year. I wonder what that could be?

Israel's founding fathers weren't statesmen—they were terrorists

The Irgun, Lehi, and Stern Gang didn't fight for freedom; they massacred villages and bombed hotels.

The tactics never changed—just the uniforms.

I think this is going to be worse than the depression. Instead of having a president trying to get us out of it we’ll have someone actively trying to make it worse all while lying and calling it a golden age

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

democrats of all stripes should be rallying around kat abughazaleh asap. it doesnt matter where you stand ideologically. trying to jail dissenters is fundamentally unamerican and 100% fascist. democratic leaders at all levels should be making noise about it. you dont need a poll or focus group.

“The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world. Lies will pass into history.” ~ (George Orwell).
uh-oh. turns out the mortgage document that the DOJ is alleging was fraudulent b/c great niece paid some rent (great niece testified she didn't) refers to "short-term rentals," which seems to blow DOJ theory that it could't be rented out of the water. Another disaster of a case.
“The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them.” ~ (George Orwell).
I have no idea why anyone would still be on these platforms. The owners are supporting a fascist takeover of the U.S. government. Download your data and delete your account.
