Clinically vulnerable families never wanted to take children out of school. We all wanted clean air and vaccine access but were denied. The government kept talking about school closures, no one wanted school closures. We wanted adjustments but they didn’t listen.

Spotify is running ICE advertisements and refuses to address it. Might be because their founder is basically another Elon Musk.

It’s time to cancel your subscription, and we made it easy for you—just go to BoycottSpotify.com.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

We currently have a president who is so childishly crude and grotesque that newspapers consider it indecent to accurately describe the video he recently posted, and TV shows think it is indecent to show it.

But many Americans are OK that the Oval Office is home to the nation's crassest toddler.

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.

Please read my column today in conjunction with Aditya's. The government pretends to be delivering housing to those who need it, but is in fact just appeasing the big corporations. Then it blames nature protections, and rips those down at their behest as well.

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.

I have, in fact, encountered several anonymous accounts over the last 5-6 months who have given out bad tear gas advice and I suspect that they may have done so on purpose.

When in doubt, come to me for the straight dope.

Reading Thiel, Yarvin, Peterson et al. makes you realise what passes for intellectual iconoclasm these days is all absolute bollocks. Why anyone gives any of these people the time of day let alone credibility is baffling.

Covid cases are surging and it’s insane that Labour has cut vaccines to 13 million vulnerable. Absolutely disgraceful that we aren’t rolling out clean air and vaccines to all. How many more will get long covid, remember the good old days of disease prevention.
