Elon Musk cancels Netflix subscription amid backlash to trans-inclusive show

Never even heard of the show, personally, so I imagine he must have been actively searching for it.

The Republican (current) narrative is that the US government is temporarily shuttered because Democrats want to fund healthcare for 22 million ‘illegal’ immigrants (they actually want insurance subsidies extended for 22 million American citizens). This claim is doubly strange because 1) undocumented immigrants are not eligible for government healthcare, and 2) best estimates are that the US has 13 million undocumented immigrants, not 22 million. I see two possibilities here:
1) The number of undocumented immigrants has increased by 9 million - about 1 million per month - since Trump took office.
2) Republican are lying through their fascist teeth and hoping the base won’t notice.
Golly - I wonder which one it could be…

The shutdown and Trump's threat to fire tens of thousands of federal workers is essentially hostage taking -- "either let us cut their health-care, or we will take away both their health-care and their income by firing them."

More war on the working class. But hey - the billionaires are in good shape, so things are tickety-boo.

“We will deport you” is the chilling message that a member of the Trump administration has sent following the announcement that Bad Bunny will be headlining the Superbowl half time show next year.

Send him back to Puerto Rico? These people are deranged. Most of them probably don't know PR's status.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

‘We will deport you’ referred to potentially undocumented immigrants that come to the game, not to Bad Bunny himself.
That said, I saw a MAGAt post not long ago that said AOC needs to be deported because ‘we have to get these foreigners out of our government’.

Oh, didn't think of that. May all persons of "suspect" skin color be from PR!
