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.

What Putin would do.

"Trump to revoke legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians as US steps up deportations"

[Finer point: Yes, this appears to be part of a broader effort that sweeps in Ukrainians, but it would be simple to make an exception/keep their temporary protected status.]
