for anyone understandably intimidated by getting off Spotify, here's what i did:

— Tidal = music
— Pocket Casts = podcasts
— BorrowBox / local library = audiobooks

& cost? less than £5pm on family subscription / totally free / totally free. so, morally & financially, leaving Spotify makes sense.

Don't stop at Spotify

Boycott EVERY corporation that supports fascism
Reports of ICE ads on #Spotify were noted in early October. People began calling for boycotts immediately.

Now, nearly a month later Spotify is seeing major losses.

And we can do ever BETTER. 👏👏👏

New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo

“I’m an American citizen so leave me alone”

“Alright, we just got to verify that”

New from 404 Media: you can't refuse to be scanned by ICE's new facial recognition app, according to internal DHS document I obtained. Photos captured by the app are stored for 15 years, including U.S. citizens. We've seen officers scanning faces w/ phones on streets

I’ve been saying the same thing. It’s almost as if the Supreme Court has ruled the constitution unconstitutional

NBC's new poll say the most important issue for deciding who to support for Congress is: "Protecting constitutional rights/protecting democracy."

Covid poses an "existential threat to human health".

Every infection increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, dementia, dysregulation of the immune system and reactivation of viral infections.

Children are having Long COVID.

HAYES: “Let me be as clear as I can — Trump is arguing in court to let Americans go hungry so they don’t have to negotiate with Dems over stopping some of those same Americans health care costs from skyrocketing.”

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.

The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

Melania Trump doesn't want people talking about her relationship with Epstein or the fact that he alleged that the first time she & Donald had sex was on his private jet.

Michael Wolff is suing Melania, and he wants answers.

Give this conversation a listen!
