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.

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

how many good people will die, be deported, become homeless, before EVERYONE who CAN vote, VOTES! For example, Texas would be a BLUE STATE if every registered Dem voter actually voted. 60% of 20 year olds DIDNT VOTE 2024. I am actually getting much angrier at the non voters than at the fascists.

ICE thinks kidnapping is a joke. At 6:30am today, agents leaving Terminal Island cheerfully sang, “Good morning ladies, a-kidnapping we will go.” This is the mindset of America’s deportation machine: gleeful cruelty. They don’t see families, veterans, or workers. They see prey. MFers.

Propaganda builds up the "victim" mentality. Many MAGA complain, yet they are living better than most humans, now, or ever. The American system worked pretty well, for a couple hundred years, to put Americans on top. And they still complain. So did the middle class Germans, in 1935. Idiocy.
