My USDA-Forest Service-funded project with scientists there was about water in the western United States. I guess that’s not a concern anymore.

The Bondi firing will get all the attention but what Hegseth is doing with the upper echelons of the military is much more dangerous over time than Bondi’s tenure as AG. And it won’t get 1% of the coverage. Someday it will get a lot of coverage, and those will be dark days.

I was at a #NoKings rally yesterday and rather than writing another essay about why this matters I will just say that it is pure joy to meet the people who want to stand out and the people who are doing the work. Thank you.

We are, once again, in the middle of an oil price shock—one of the many "features" of oil is constant price volatility, with sudden periods of extreme volatility—and the Trump admin is paying a foreign company to shut down domestic wind power generators and instead invest more in oil.

ICYMI: Six years after Breonna Taylor’s killing, Trump quietly rescinded the rules that could’ve saved her. And now federal prosecutors are seeking to drop all charges against the officers who used a no-knock raid to ambush and kill her.
Justice Dept. Seeks to Drop Charges Against Officers in Breonna Taylor’s Death
The civil rights charges against the two Louisville, Ky., police officers stemmed from their involvement in drafting the no-knock search warrant that led to the fatal shooting.

Don't forget the Supreme Court's role facilitating ICE's brutality and racism in Minneapolis. SCOTUS lifted an injunction that limited racial profiling in immigration enforcement on Sept. 8. The federal assault on Chicago began the next day. Then came the Twin Cities. SCOTUS greenlit these horrors.

Spotify holds enormous cultural power — and with that comes responsibility. Spotify users expect that their engagement won’t be utilized to help ICE infringe our rights and terrorize our communities. Stop using Spotify until the ICE recruitment ads stop: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti...
(below the Indivisible logo) Jan 2, 2025

Gustav Söderström
Co-Chief Executive Officer
Alex Norström
Co-Chief Executive Officer
Spotify USA Inc.
4 World Trade Center
150 Greenwich Street, 62nd Floor
New York, NY 1007

Dear Mr. Söderström and Mr. Norström,

Indivisible is a national grassroots movement committed to protecting democracy and defending communities targeted by government abuse. In recent months our coalition helped organize the No Kings demonstrations, an effort that mobilized more than seven million people across the country. Our work brings together creators, organizers, and everyday people who use culture as a tool for civic participation and accountability.

It is in this spirit that we are contacting you regarding the presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement recruitment ads on your platform. Spotify has acknowledged running these ads, which appear to be part of a broader effort by ICE to expand its enforcement reach through financial incentives and aggressive hiring. These campaigns are creating fear in immigrant and working-class communities and are contributing to a climate where harassment, raids, and intimidation are becoming routine.

We are concerned that Spotify's acceptance of these ads signals a willingness to allow its platform to serve as a distribution channel for government messaging thatpromotes policies rooted in coercion and abuse. Spotify holds enormous cultural power, and with that comes responsibility. The listeners who turn to your platform every day expect that their engagement will not be used to advance harmful government agendas.

We would like to meet with you to discuss how Spotify can move in a different direction and take responsible action. Our recommendations include the following:

• Immediate termination of all advertising contracts with ICE and DHS,
• A public commitment to reviewing and updating Spotify's Advertising Policy to prohibit government propaganda and hate-based recruitment ad campaigns.

We believe there is a productive path forward that aligns with Spotify's stated values and the expectations of the creators and listeners who make your platform what it is. Please have your office contact us at (email address blurred out) so we can schedule a conversation with our senior leadership team as soon as possible.

Spotify has the opportunity to lead by example and reject the use of its platform to promote harmful government practices. We urge you to take this moment seriously and choose to stand with the communities that rely on your platform for expression, connection, and safety.

Sincerely,
Ezra Levin
Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director
Leah Greenberg
Co-founder and Co-Executive Director
