OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

It feels like taxpayers are footing the bill for a dying tyrant’s wish list. A ballroom. A triumphal arch. A war in Venezuela. He’s got people lobbying for him to get a Nobel Prize for the COVID vaccines.

No bequest for the American people in his dying days, though. We’re not important to him.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

With ICE acting like Gestapo psychopaths, good time to remind folks that being undocumented is a misdemeanor, and staying past your visa is only a civil matter.

Neither requires you to football tackle, zip tie, and beat and mace folks, or shoot tear gas and pepper spray at people. These are gross

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$40B for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$98M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

It has been said before, but it bears repeating: the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Trump who are bleeding this country dry.

Trump cuts probably hindered warning process for Alaska storm that displaced hundreds, experts say

A floating frog costume fighting ICE agents as the face of resistance is exactly the level of absurd performance art this era deserves. When reality turns into satire, you might as well bring the memes to the revolution. Ribbit for freedom. #Pinks #Momsky
