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?

Where in #NYS, @governor.ny.gov ??? NYS should be leading proudly and loudly. Cali is putting us to shame.
California and Chile just signed an MOU to expand our work reducing methane emissions and battling the climate crisis.
The Golden State is showing the world at #COP30 that we can always be counted on as a reliable partner for progress.

The financial predators are winning ...until the crypto crash and the stagflation hit.
The Trump regime is declaring that funding for the CFPB is illegal.
Remember: This is the agency that protects Americans from financial predators.
Anti-CFPB oligarchs, who spent millions to re-elect Trump, will now have an easier time padding their pockets by ripping you off.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this lesson?
