Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed.

"The president is putting his ego over responsibility... Firing live rounds over a busy highway isn’t just wrong. It’s dangerous. Using our military to intimidate people you disagree with isn’t strength. It’s reckless, it’s disrespectful, and it’s beneath the office he holds."

one category of show prep material for TRMS staff is something we've always called "subway reading".

it's something that's not exactly current events or new reporting... but nevertheless relevant food for thought given the news we're in.

today's subway reading:

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world

US president’s son-in-law was instrumental in getting deal – which could bring him huge windfall if plan to redevelop Gaza ever comes to fruition

They're saying 7,000,000 attended protests today.

But what about The Honkers?

I attended 2 protests today, snd the honking from the drivers passing by was nearly constant.

Much more honking than in June.

If you include The Honkers, I'll bet it was closer to 10 million.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”
