Apparently this segment from SNL’s Weekend Update is upsetting to Elon Musk and his fans.
Be a shame if this went viral.

PLEASE NOTE
AIPAC changed their name to:
UNITED DEMOCRACY PROJECT
DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS ONE

I would like to formally recognize Elizabeth Warren as a replacement nominee for Senate Majority Leader.
There is no Senator with a more progressive voting record—not even Bernie Sanders.
She is the only member of Congress to:
• Denounce AIPAC
• Refuse money from special interest groups
• Publicly post her tax returns every year
She supports:
• Universal healthcare
• Universal childcare
• Increasing the tax burden on billionaires
• Free public college for all
• Large-scale clean energy investments
• Overturning Citizens United
• Criminal justice reform, including ending private prisons
• Strong consumer protection (she helped create the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau)

Just a reminder V for Vendetta was about rejecting Fascism.

They built concentration camps and were planning to arrest people for not pledging their submissive fealty to Trump.
Now is not the time for reconciliation. Now is not the time to forgive and forget.
We want accountability, justice and lengthy prison terms. And we want it now.

This message is for @RepJeffries .
America has seen you on the news…
Saying you’re only going to concentrate on “Affordability For the American People”.
While side stepping questions about impeaching Trump.
Now listen up.
Accountability is going to happen.
The Judiciary Committee will occupy 12 members of House Democrats.
The Oversight Committee will occupy 26 members of House Democrats.
This leaves you 221 democrats to work on the economy and other shit that’s fucked up.
Americans have endured atrocities under Trump and Republicans that require accountability.
Americans along with Immigrants have been illegally detained, deported, tortured, murdered and raped under Trump’s Department of Homeland Security.
Thousands of Rape victims have been forced to carry pregnancies to term due to laws Republicans have passed.
Forcing victims of rape to give birth to their rapist’s child.
Women have died because they were denied the rights to an abortion.
Again because of laws Republicans have passed.
Women were hunted down and prosecuted for having abortions.
Muslims, Jews and other non-Christians have been made the targets of hate and murder…
Because of their 1st Amendment right to practice a their religion.
While Republicans forced their religion onto others in Public Schools, Hospitals and in our Courts.
The LGBTQ and Trans Communities have had laws passed against them…
They’ve been demonized and been victims of hate crimes and murder due to MAGA rhetoric.
People have died due to measles outbreaks and other diseases…
Due to policies put out by The Department of Health and Human Services.
Many politicians and people within Trump’s inner circle,
Have made billions of dollars off illegal business dealings.
And finally -
The biggest sex trafficking ring in modern history…
Has been sidelined to protect the wealthy and well connected.
The Epstein Files need to be fully investigated.
The victims deserve justice.
The guilty deserve accountability.
So whatever path these investigations lead you down…
Down the path of a Democrat…
Down the path of a Republican…
Down the path to Donald Trump…
These investigations will happen.
This is not a matter of “Fixing Affordability For America” and sidelining the rest.
Because you’ve made friends with those in Trump’s inner circle…
It’s a matter of 360 Accountability.
We demonstrated what we can do at the polls.
We took out the majority of the Republican Trash.
You will bring accountability.
Or you’ll be the next load of trash taken out.
You work for us.
We demand accountability.
Get it done.
If you have any questions…
Feel free to ask any democrat voter.
(If you follow me, or you agree with my post… Please repost it.)
(I want as many democrat lawmakers as possible to see this.
Especially @RepJeffries )

BREAKING: HOLY SMOKES! Democrats now control enough states to effectively abolish the Electoral College through the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
Republicans did NOT have this on their bingo cards...
Under the Constitution, states control their electoral votes and are allowed to decide how they are allocated during presidential elections. Currently, almost every state gives its votes to whoever wins the state.
In practice, the current system means that a candidate can win the national popular vote, but lose the election because small states like Wyoming exert undue influence on the outcome. That state has 3 electoral votes with a population of just 577,000 people. California has 54 electoral votes and a population of 39.5 million people. So a vote in Wyoming is essentially 3.8 times as valuable as one in California.
Since 1992, Democrats have won the popular vote seven out of nine times.
Under the NPV, states that join agree to give their electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote, not just their own state. So a state could go red on the map, but if the Democrat wins the national vote, they still get that state's votes. And vice versa of course.
The crucial mechanism is that the compact doesn't trigger until the member states have a combined power of at least 270 electoral votes, the number needed to win the White House. So far, 18 states plus D.C. have joined, totaling 222 electoral votes. We only need 48 more.
Now is the chance to pass this measure in every state possible. Democrats won both houses of the legislature in Wisconsin for the first time in 18 years (10 electoral votes). We won the Pennsylvania state Senate for the first time since 1993 (19 votes). We now have a trifecta in Michigan (15 votes). And we won the governor’s race in Nevada (6 votes).
10 + 19 + 15 + 6 = 50.
222 + 50 = 272.
And if we hold our lead in the Arizona Senate, that number could climb as high as 283, more than enough to trigger the compact.
In addition to removing an imbalance in our system that favors Republicans, this novel approach would fundamentally change how candidates run their presidential campaigns. Currently, they are incentivized to ignore most of the country. If you live in a “safe” state, red or blue, your vote for President is basically decided before you cast it. Campaigns spend their time and money in a handful of swing states while the rest of us watch from the sidelines. If the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is adopted, they'll have reason to hit every state because they're aiming to win the largest swath of the country as a whole, not just certain states.
States have until July 20, 2028 to join the compact in time for the next presidential election.
We can fix our democracy. The time is now.
Please ❤️ and share if you support this idea!

One day when I was still very young, I asked my father about his parents. I knew my maternal grandparents intimately, but I wanted to know why I had never met his parents.
“Because they died,” he said wistfully.
“Will you ever see them again?” I asked.
He considered his answer carefully. Finally, he said that there was nothing he would like more in the world than to see his mother and father again, but that he had no reason — and no evidence — to support the idea of an afterlife, so he couldn’t give in to the temptation.
“Why?”
Then he told me, very tenderly, that it can be dangerous to believe things just because you want them to be true. You can get tricked if you don’t question yourself and others, especially people in a position of authority. He told me that anything that’s truly real can stand up to scrutiny.
