It's outrageous that Spotify is running ICE ads. Move to another streaming platform that doesn't profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE. #CancelSpotify app.sosha.ai/s/n7JDzedS

Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE, the federal agency behind mass deportation and surveillance of immigrant communities. Cancel your Spotify subscription. #DontStreamFascism app.sosha.ai/s/wllkAwfP

Ioffe: I don't think that what's being done to the white house, you don't do that, if you think that anybody else is going to inhabit this thing after you and if you are planning on leaving power.

I'm urging everyone to cancel their Spotify subscription until the ICE ads are removed. Streaming hate is a choice and I refuse to let my friends fund it. #CancelSpotify app.sosha.ai/s/rqfzmBrt

Another contrast: the many, many stories the NYT ran on Tea Party protests and Canadian trucker protests, above the fold. The NYT also systematically downplayed protests against the first and second gulf wars.

They think only conservative protests matter, even small ones, and have for decades.

Those with sharp eyes might detect a subtle difference in NYT play last month of an event in one city, w 100,000+ attendees, versus play this morning of some 2500+ events w many millions of attendees, in all 50 states.

See if you can spot it! /s

Then you can find today's story on p A23
Front page of NYT on September 22, 2025, with large top-of-page photo of a Charlie Kirk memorial service, and the lead page-one story on the same topic. Front page of today's NYT, Oct 19, with no story about the nationwide protests, and a "below the fold" montage of two photos, and a link to a story on page 23.

Cancel SPOTIFY.

They are running ICE ads.

Is Spotify running ICE recruitment ads? Here are the facts
The advertising "is part of a broad campaign the US government is running" across various platforms — not just Spotify, a spokesperson told Snopes.

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?

You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

I haven’t the froggiest idea why…
A tweet from Molly Ploofkins says: “Inflatable frog costumes are sold out on Amazon.” The attached image shows a product listing for a green inflatable frog costume with dark spots, a white belly, and a blue bow tie. The listing title reads “Inflatable Frog Costume Adult Men Women Outfit… for Halloween Holiday Cosplay Party Animal,” and it’s marked as “Currently unavailable.”
