@beeoproblem @cbcnews @politics-cbcnews Yeah. I hope somebody answers this with another floor crossing. A couple of more for good measure would be nice.

It is finally official: In The Netherlands the far-right racism party led by Geert Wilders lost to 38-year-old Rob Jetten and his social liberal party called Democrats 66 which got around 15,162 more votes (still counting).

Like Trump, Geert Wilders now claims voter fraud. But while he is whining, Rob Jetten and D66 will now be in charge of forming a new government.

Apparently, hatred against people of color is getting old, and young voters want actual politics that make a difference. 💪🏼

Do you use Spotify Premium? Cancel your subscription until Spotify stops running ICE ads. There are other streaming options that don’t profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE: https://indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=mastodon

(between images of the Spotify logo that have been crossed out) DON’T STREAM FASCISM Spotify is treating ICE recruitment like just another ad. But when you turn family separation into a marketing pitch, you're not a platform — you're spreading propaganda. • Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads • Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts. • Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.
