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.

Alan Dershowitz, Epsteinโ€™s former attorney, stated he has personally "reviewed the entire list" of names linked to the Epstein case and asserts that it is being intentionally withheld to shield influential individuals.

Justice for the victims, release the names.

This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.

Conserving our environment is an American value. From hikers to hunters we want to keep our public lands public! Thats why the unprecedented sell-off of millions of acres of public lands needs to be removed from the Senate Budget Bill.

Nature is non partisan! ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I donโ€™t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so Iโ€™m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts?

People Power."

Peaceful.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

I am so disgusted at this playing dead move by the dems! They have such a perfect moment to show that they are truly the party of the people. They are blowing it each and every day. I am not donating any money to current dems that are silent and will begin donating & working to primary them out.

Same, I'm disappointed that this is even a topic of conversation for a long-time democrat like @durbin.senate.gov Hope we see him and the other dems on the fence do the right thing. Otherwise I will do everything I can to make sure they are looking for a new job.
