Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

Fatality.

Thinking about this scene from Dallas for no particular reason.
Awfully fishy

I can't believe we have to write this down but here we are.
Trump’s eyes looking weirder than normal. Some pics takenonly just last week before he slinked away from fronting the press. There is some rotten fish in the White House
JB Pritzker Says Illinois Could Create More Democratic Districts To Counter Trump open.substack.com/pub/politicu...
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
I like the rebrand.
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
California stepping up.
Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.

“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
Not if we can help it
This is never going away, is it?
They have taken a solemn oath to hypocrisy
Gorgeous 😍
This part. Everyone should be taking notes from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social’s @mizzwelch.bsky.social
Greta is amazing - a beacon of moral character in a world that is determined to collapse under the weight of its own violence and greed
They’re totally going to do this.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)
Life for Palestinians in Gaza has gotten worse under Trump, not better. So where are Jill Stein and Cornel West now? They aren’t leading protests in DC outside the White House, no rallies. Almost like the whole 2024 thing was just performative.

We are so fucked.
Psaki: Comer was a little slow to move forward with the subpoenas, at least in my view. Moskowitz: That’s actually his regular speed. He’s just a little slow in general.
FOX: *plays clip of Gavin Newsom pointing out that crime is higher in Louisiana than in California* FOX: Your response? MIKE JOHNSON: He needs to go an govern his state and not be engaging in this
From my friend Tasneem in Gaza who just had surgery: "The health system is being destroyed. There are Corona infections in Gaza. There are no antibiotics or painkillers in Gaza, and I'm still in a lot of pain." Please give to Tasneem and others. They rely on our donations. 🙏💕 tinyurl.com/Tasneemo
The real deep state
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them: —Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings —More guns don't make us safer —A majority of Americans want gun reform We don't have to live like this.

Frey: "We need an assault weapons ban nationwide. We need to have a high capacity magazine ban. And if the federal govt and states aren't gonna act, give us the ability to protect our constituents. Give mayors & council members the ability to protect in Mpls 435,000 residents that call Mpls home."
Why can’t people see that the level of incompetence in this administration has lead to irreparable harm & more is to come?!
Yes.
Mother Earth is watching. Don't be complicit.
Jen is my hero!
Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day
You think we weren’t prepared for the last pandemic ….
That was uncomfortably clear after the Alaska humiliation, I mean summit...

"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."

Caroline Kennedy…JFK’s daughter once has this to say about her cousin, RFK Jr.:
But it is the guns. Metal detectors and perimeter controls aren’t going to stop an armed maniac from shooting kids. Just like common sense won’t stop a Fox maniac from shooting his mouth.
Tell Congress:
Gun control now before many more kids die! Minneapolis: The shooter did not act alone. He was assisted by 219 members of the House, 53 Senators, hundreds of NRA lobbyists, and one President.
Like I needed another reason to love NYC.
You do. There are so many of you fighting the good fight. Be hard to keep your scone above water but the tide is turning. Hang in there.

Psaki: I felt a mixture of anger—a lot of anger—and emotional exhaustion about this today, as I’m sure many of you have, because we have been here so many times. And yet again, like clockwork, half the politicians in our country have little more to offer than thoughts and prayers.

Are vaccines safe? Let's ask this guy who sounds like a dying refrigerator compressor
And the media are too weak to say boo
What. The. Fuck. Is. He. Talking. About.
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
Those who have the power to stop mass shootings can go to hell with their "thoughts and prayers." Do something about it, you evil bastards.

This is very bad news. Louisiana won't even defend its own map in SCOTUS. It abandoned its own Black voters. Those of us committed to defending the VRA are now entirely on our own. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
So burning the flag gets you a year in jail but if you beat officers with the flagpole you get a presidential pardon???

Kudos to Catelin Drey on her victory in Iowa. This is a district that Trump won easily last November. It's one special election, yes. But it's a sign of hope and another reminder that every election is important. Democracy is not a spectator sport.
Cringe !!!!!
What an unbelievably stupid time to be alive.
