Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.
Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.
Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Hey friends! Since former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is in the midst of an image rehabilitation campaign as he performatively mulls a presidential bid, I'm concerned that some of us have older relatives who see him through the blur of nostalgia and have forgotten his many corrupt scandals. /1

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.
But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.
See you soon, NYC.

Where is Dan Bongino? When SECDEF Lloyd Austin went to the doctor, Republicans held hearings and tore him to shreds. But the Deputy Director of the FBI can just not show up to work because he has a sad?

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.
Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.
