Spotify needs to remove the ICE recruitment ads. If you hear one, make sure to give it a thumbs down.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

Call a Senator that voted no tonight and demand that they vote to remove Chuck Schumer as Senate Minority Leader.
He has weaponized his incompetence against the American people by allowing 8 Dem Senators to cave to an authoritarian regime. We need real leadership, not the oligarchy’s lapdog

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him
And they should, given this is his fault.
And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.

“In Israel, Leaking Evidence of Rape Is a Bigger Scandal Than Raping a Palestinian”
According to Israel and its supporters, the scandal is not the vile sexual assault depicted in a leaked video last year – it’s that someone released the tape, writes Minnah Arshad for Zeteo:

Reminder that Spotify has still not gotten rid of their ICE ads. They think they can just stay silent without answering to the public. Let’s show them how wrong they are, let’s hit them where it hurts! These corporations don’t understand anything unless it hurts their bottom line.

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. 👏👏👏

My wife & I are worried about covering our new outrageous insurance premium. We’re lucky, we’ll still keep a roof over our heads & food on the table. But millions of families don’t know what they’ll eat tomorrow.
We just donated to the LA Regional Food Bank. If you can, give to your local one too.

In Virginia, the governor and attorney general races are especially important. In Pennsylvania, remember to vote YES on the retention of the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. In California, vote YES on Proposition 50.

I did a non-trivial amount of work on the use of facial recognition in Login.gov while in leadership at GSA, and at Treasury. The short version: it's racist. (And that was for 1-to-1 matching, which is much simpler than 1-to-many.) The error rate on this must be horrifying.
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

“Alright, we just got to verify that”

ICE and CBP Agents Are Scanning Peoples’ Faces on the Street To Verify Citizenship
Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as “pure dystopian creep.”
