Congrats for this awesome milestone to celebrate 🥂🐝🌸with the indie animation fam & film community!
When alone in a room that begins to fill with smoke, 75% raise the alarm within minutes. Yet, surrounded by others who remain passive, only 10% take action. This is the "bystander effect." A silent, unresponsive crowd stifles our instincts – even when our own lives are at stake.

BREAKING: Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum hits back hard at Donald Trump with a dire warning after he announces his disastrous tariffs — and breaks down exactly how idiotic his idea is. This is what a real leader sounds like... "Seventy percent of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs," she wrote in a letter to Trump which she read at a press conference. "Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours," she added. "One tariff will follow another and so on, until we put our common businesses at risk," she correctly predicted. Trump's suggestion that he will implement a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada is utterly moronic and will only succeed at skyrocketing prices. "I am convinced that North America’s economic strength lies in maintaining our trade partnership. This allows us to remain competitive against other economic blocs," she continued. "For this reason, I believe that dialogue is the best path to understanding, peace, and prosperity for our nations. I hope our teams can meet soon to continue building joint solutions," Sheinbaum added. Please retweet and ❤️ if you oppose Trump's harebrained tariffs — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

BREAKING: The Louisiana state legislature just overwhelmingly passed a new congressional map with two majority Black districts that will take effect before Election Day this year. This is such great news for anyone who cares about democracy & voting rights.

BREAKING: Republican 2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is publicly humiliated as a fed up New Hampshire voter gets on the microphone and unleashes a brutal rant against him right to his face. The voter started her rant by putting Ramaswamy on notice that he isn’t even “fit” to be “the principal” of her “child’s elementary school.” Then, she called Ramaswamy out for his "seemingly nonsensical fast-talking empty words interspersed with name dropping Thomas Jefferson and George Washington” — and declared that his ridiculous rants “should not be misconstrued as knowledgeable.” But she wasn’t done there… She then looked Ramaswamy dead in the eye and compared him to Donald Trump — and not in a favorite light: “Just a few years ago, we all saw firsthand the disastrous results when a ruthless capitalist, a scam artist, a showman and a liar could, with no public service experience, became the president of the United States — and yet, we are here again.” Then, she finished off her devastating takedown by accusing Ramaswamy of having “illogical and dangerous positions regarding just about everything under the sun.” via @OccupyDemocrats #ThankYou #VoteBlue #WTP #VoteBlue2024 #StrongerTogether

Let me say something about the $6 billion dollars right wing media is busy spreading disinformation about: 1. That money wasn't OUR money. None of it was taxpayer money, not a single penny. It was Iran's money that had been frozen and released. 2. That money is currently in a bank account in Qatar. It's not like the mullahs are rolling around in Scrooge McDuck money baths. 3. The $6 billion in released funds can only be used by Iran for humanitarian purposes, like food and medicine, and it's being closely monitored. 4. If Iran tries to use that money for anything other than humanitarian purposes, the United States will freeze the money again. Let's set the record straight. Repost this like crazy.

The Speaker denied his right-flank the shutdown they wanted, so this week they’ll try to fire him.

The Trump supporter who posted the viral video of Donald insisting he wanted to buy a Glock – which legally could have gotten Donald in a lot of legal trouble – DELETED it. Too late. I already put it in the family archive. 🧵👇

If the "changes" are anything other than "scrap the entire policy and go back to before when we decided this", then I wish every board member trap their fingers in an elevator door
We have heard you. We apologize for the confusion and angst the runtime fee policy we announced on Tuesday caused. We are listening, talking to our team members, community, customers, and partners, and will be making changes to the policy. We will share an update in a couple of days. Thank you for your honest and critical feedback.

It was the “Gotcha” playbook where market share is grabbed during a long protracted “free” period, then without a lot of notice or fanfare, it gets SPRUNG!!! Nope, not I said the mice!

Karine Jean-Pierre's composure and professionalism in the face of Peter Doocy's provocative questioning are truly admirable. It's unfortunate to see such blatantly biased and divisive questions being asked in a press briefing. Respect for the office of the President should always be upheld, regardless of one's political affiliations. Kudos to Jean-Pierre for maintaining dignity and focusing on the issues that truly matter.

BREAKING: White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre crushes Fox News hack reporter Peter Doocy for asking a shockingly disrespectful question about the president — making him look like an utter fool in the process. It all started with Doocy, who reliably asks ignorant and offensive questions, taking aim at Biden. "President Biden is the oldest president in U.S. History. Why does White House staff treat him like a baby?" asked Doocy. The deeply unprofessional query perfectly encapsulates Doocy's entire style. He is not a journalist in any real sense, he's a MAGA operative auditioning for his own show on Fox News. "No one treats the President of the United States, the Commander-in-Chief like a baby," said Jean-Pierre without missing a beat. "That's a ridiculous claim." Doocy doubled down on his asinine question by quoting a book that claims Biden was supposedly treated like a "toddler" when dealing with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Jean-Pierre wasn't impressed. "So look, I'll say this, there's going to be a range of books that are about every administration as you know that are going to have a variety of claims," she said. "That is not unusual. That happens all the time and we're not going to litigate those here. That's something we are not going to speak to." "There is one thing that I do want to — because I think I was asked this question last week by one of your colleagues about this particular excerpt that they were referring to — and so I'll say this," she went on. "We did see the excerpt, the context of the excerpt, and it seemed to be making the opposite overall point about how the value of his experience and wisdom resulted in rallying the free world against authoritarianism which is important," she said. "We have seen this. You all have seen this. And passage of the most historic agenda in recent history and his handling of foreign policy like rallying the world around Ukraine as you just heard from our National Security Advisor who laid out in really good questions that your colleagues asked about how the president is moving forward, about Ukraine, about kind of leading into these conversations that he's going to having at the G20." As usual, Doocy was completely outmatched by Jean-Pierre. At this point, the man should just retire and find a different job. He's terrible at this one. Please retweet and ❤️ if you'd support booting Doocy from the press corps in favor of a real reporter — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: tribel.app.link/okwPIHYCIqb
