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.

Gaza: l'armée israélienne a dit dimanche soir qu'elle allait reprendre son application du cessez-le-feu et cesser ses frappes dans la bande de Gaza, après avoir mené des dizaines de frappes meurtrières visant selon elle des cibles du Hamas, accusé d'attaques contre ses troupes ⬇️

Not decorum: understanding how the nazis came to power and how vile they were is history.
Understanding the branches of government and how their responsibilities were assigned is too.

Great read about the rich ancient history of Gaza.

‘One of the oldest urban centres on the planet’: Gaza’s rich history in ruins

The territory’s ancient heritage has too often been ignored. As we mourn incalculable human losses, learning about its past can help us better understand the present

This is how they see #NoKings from France: joyous but a bit powerless.

I hope more folks check in with the previous #OneMillionRising sessions on non-compliance. Because we gotta go after those pillars of autocracy.

They like a parade, a big event. I don’t know that they know how to do systematic sustained protests.

Erika Wybourn @erikawybourn.bsky.social · 22h

And they protested EVERY DAY.

Erika Wybourn @erikawybourn.bsky.social · 23h

Same. I just hope there is some serious outreach/organizing happening on the sidelines of the #NoKings hoopla.
Otherwise it’s just a progressive 4th of July parade.

The protests today are impressive, but if US residents want to effect change they need to do this every. single. day.

In fact, I'm not convinced the GOP will even allow a third march. #NoKings

It's big Trump protest day so that means we are mere hours away from my least favorite Bluesky: the Russian disinfo surge.

Here's how it works, and what you can do about it. 🧵

And keep up the action after today. It’s got to be non-stop.

We’re all on your side. We just need you to make it happen.
We can’t do that for you.
