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.

When this time is over (& it will be) & somebody asks me to describe its nature & spirit, I shall play this clip. It embodies the whole cruelty, nastiness, sneer, indifference, cockiness, glee, inhumanity, & evil. It proves they knew what they did was illegal, but they did it happily, voluntarily.

It’s almost like they wrote a book (they did) telling us what they were going to do and they are doing it. The US not only didn’t read the book or Cliff notes, they thought it was a work of fiction (it’s not).

If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research… I have nothing left to say to you. Please unfollow me.

I insist on our Star Trek future. I'm going to do everything in my power to make our Star Trek future happen, even if I won't be here to enjoy it.

While kids go hungry and people lose healthcare, I do NOT support the ridiculous construction of a ballroom by tearing down part of the Whitehouse. It is the peoples’ house, not his. We are paying for this with tax money. And he has horrible, tacky taste to boot.

Inspired by one of the comments: although we might get through this, we have to deal with a big mouth and a real asshole.

The Invention of “Sesame Street” Renata Adler’s 1972 review of the program that revolutionized children’s television.

“Small children from poor or middle-class families who watch ‘Sesame Street’ do better on cognitive tests and in first grade than children who do not watch it,” Renata Adler wrote, in 1972.

The moral and right answer to “will you pardon a woman convicted of $ex trafficking young children” isn’t “Well, I’m allowed to…”. Pure evil.

And don't forget to sign them up for the Imagination Library, which is Dolly Parton's free book delivery service.
They send 1 book per month until the child turns 5. 😊

They say nothing good happens after midnight. They’re right—it’s when the powerful stop pretending.

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

You know who says, “Oh, you can’t take a joke?” Bullies. Bullies fall back on that when called out for saying or doing something that most people consider crass, mean, unfeeling, or just plain stupid.

Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today:

He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution

He’s fine with a recession

Americans can do with less

Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”

“Do not mock us.”

By this Pam calculation, one pill has to kill more than five people. Math is hard.

Trump administration looking at $5,000 'baby bonus' to incentivize public to have more children The White House has been fielding proposals aimed at convincing people to marry and have children, an effort being pushed by groups focused on increasing the birth rate.

Offering folks $5,000 to have a baby is wild—especially when y’all are the same ones trying to slash SNAP and Medicaid. The very benefits millions of Americans rely on to survive.

Since when did raising a baby only cost $5,000?

Never be on the side that bans books

Never be on the side that kidnaps people

Never be on the side that takes from the poor and gives to The Rich

Never be on the side that mocks empathy and compassion

Never be on the side that worships/fears a pathological liar
