1. The country's six major movie studios:

@warnerbros
@Disney
@SonyPictures
@netflix
@ParamountPics
@UniversalPics

Are funding an organization that relentlessly pushes Trump's lies about the 2020 election.

Let's follow the money.

@warnerbros @Disney @SonyPictures @netflix @ParamountPics @UniversalPics 2. The trade association for the six major studios is the Motion Picture Association (@motionpictures)

According to the MPA's latest tax filing, called a 990, the MPA donated $150,000 to the American Conservative Union (@acuconservative)

@warnerbros @Disney @SonyPictures @netflix @ParamountPics @UniversalPics @motionpictures @ACUConservative 3. The American Conservative Union, which @motionpictures is funding, is run by Trump acolyte @mschlapp.

It is best known for putting on the @CPAC conference.

This year's CPAC conference was largely dedicated to pushing the lie that Trump won the election.

4. In other words, the money you spend on @netflix and @disneyplus is being funneled to Schlapp, who uses it to promote lies about the 2020 presidential election

It's quite something.
