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.

A comfortable life used to be the American Dream. Not being a financial mogul. Not fighting for the top spot on the food chain. Working to get your share of the pie with the whip cream on top. Grabbing enough food to fill your plate, but leaving plenty on the table for others. Let’s do that again.

There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.

The home goods retailer At Home just filed for bankruptcy with $2 billion in debt and is blaming tariffs and a consumer spending slowdown. Don’t worry, the economy’s doing “fine” unless you’re a worker, a shopper, or a business outside the stock market.

This is my friend's video from Santa Ana, CA in OC.

The Santa Ana PD had this situation totally under control. It was peaceful. Then ICE came in to provoke & attack.

ICE is a terrorist secret police Gestapo-style band of thugs, posers, mercenaries & miscreants

BANNON TO ELON: “Wanna stop the debt bomb? Raise taxes on the wealthy.”

When he’s right, he’s right.

But @MarshaBlackburn @RepTimBurchett @AndyOgles @SenatorHagerty etc. won’t tax the rich — because they don’t care about the debt, and never did.

When your neighborhood pizza guy of 25 years is labeled a “threat” and disappeared by masked men in body armor, maybe the problem isn’t him.

ok I feel completely insane asking this but like

weren't we NOT blowing up rockets, like, 50 years ago. weren't we successfully sending rockets up that did not rattle apart. also weren't we like "ah yeah that was a fail" when the rocket fell apart instead of calling it a "partial success"
