Instead of Spotify, we're trying out apps including Tidal, Apple Music, Libby, Bandcamp, & the NPR app. What are your favorite sources for music, audio books, & podcasts?
Spotify is running ads recruiting more ICE agents to infringe our rights and terrorize our communities, so we’re calling on users to stop paying for or using the app until Spotify stops streaming fascism: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

Children have been whispering to dolls, “we have to be good or ICE will get us.”
That is why the City Council must fight back against Trump’s attacks and pass the Protecting Chicago Budget. We cannot ask traumatized children to learn while cutting the very supports that keep them safe.
