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?

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?

National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Hey #ComicSky. Conservation talk?
You may have seen people using “eraser crumbs” from a “document cleaning pad” to gently clean older books.
I was skeptical of how much this actually works until I took these pics.
So now I present to you a DIFFERENT type of before and after:

Forever, the Liberal party have defined themselves as the ‘best economic managers’, yet their Net Zero flip flop, again, exposes this myth. The Liberals are the party of confected outrage and opposition for the lack of vision. A mere group of corporate lackeys at the service of the highest bidder.
