Netflix Stock Up As Elon Musk's Anti-Trans Boycott Fails To Materialize Last week, conservatives tried to cancel Netflix to force the carrier to remove transgender characters.

1. Anti-trans outrage is losing its bite.

Last week, Elon Musk led a mass boycott campaign to get trans characters removed from shows on the platform.

Major conservatives joined in.

Now, we have the result: the boycott was a fizzle, and Netflix stock is up.

He's right, and it's not just Brazil.

Around the world, at least 31 democratic leaders who committed similar crimes have been jailed or banned from office since 2010. The failure to hold Trump accountable in the US was a unique and systemic failure of our institutions and political culture.

Embrace your fears!

The “We Are All DC” March is massive. Thousands of people marching down 16th Street NW against the occupation of DC.

We are in very dark times. It’ll take an entire political/social movement, an overwhelming rebuke at the polls, and a new vision of governance to unstick this country from whatever this collapse is.

This is TEA!!!!!

Fascinating thread!

What Are My Rights During an ICE Raid? Immigration law can be tricky, but here's what you should know.

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents. While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ⬇️

This is why Donald is crying about Elizabeth Warren.

If you still have a Twitter account, today is a good day to delete it.

Either that or my leg was twitching

"Saying we are all, every one of us, getting cheated every day, is tremendously unifying..."

As a screenwriter -- using more em-dashes than Emily Dickinson is just a thing we do -- and since they plagiarized from the scripts that I and my colleagues wrote -- yeah, there's gonna be a lotta dashes in the output. Also, lots of prose use em-dashes too.

Trained Volunteers Patrol L.A. Streets as ICE Raids Intensify Neighborhood groups monitor immigration enforcement amid rising fear and federal scrutiny.

The neighborhood watch volunteers that are identifying and pursuing ICE raids are quite inspiring. Our friends at @capitalandmain.bsky.social have this story on ICE watch patrols in LA.

I need people to stop acting like a Cascadia earthquake and tsunami is an event on par with Yellowstone or Chicxulub in frequency. I fear the concept of annualized losses has twisted our understanding of what hazards are major threats and therefore ones that deserve our resources and attention.

hi, cis folks!

the GOP put the all-ages trans medicaid ban back in the budget, despite it being struck. they did it to force dems to challenge it on the floor.

if you've been paying attention, you know dems need to hear you want them to actually stand up to the GOP. contact info at reps.fyi 🧵

I’m going to make a thread about how the feds have changed their tactics here in Los Angeles because the community has forced them to adapt.

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so.

Not to knock OP, but this
misses the point. Oliver contributes to Lippman’s information environment, both reinforcing for those already intellect and contributing leftward influence for centrists.

If the Secretary of Homeland Security shows up in your state to say she’s “liberating” a city from the elected government, you’re goddamn right the state’s US Senator should barge in to ask some questions.

wow I wonder if the cops who lied about the sitting senator even though everything they did was on tape are also being less than honest about the presence of violent agitators at the protests in los angeles. they might even not have told the entire truth about other protests

Yeah it's really something to see a U.S. senator being hit with the same impossible compliance demands that the cops scream at people before shooting them during a stop

Cries of Defiance and Songs of Joy in Los Angeles The protesters are being called unspeakably violent by the Trump administration. I mostly saw clergy sit-ins and Tejano bands.

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous.

You know what to do…

THERE ARE NO RIOTS

Guys. I'm in LA. I'm going to a variety show tonight across town. There are not riots happening. There are peaceful protests being fired upon.

Peaceful means nonviolent hut it does not mean sedate. No rioting, no looting is happening. LA is protecting neighbors.
