Check out my opinion piece at De Los from the Los Angeles Times on Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show as a history lesson.
Not at all surprised to learn that Bad Bunny has a historical adviser. His halftime show was a reminder that our history and culture are deeply intertwined with the rest of the western hemisphere. We should think of his performance as part of #America250. #SuperBowl

can't tell you how happy I am that the real answer to this is "bad bunny is a little monster"
Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.
It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too
I am so mad about what Bezos did to this paper, the journalists and other staff who make (or made) this paper, and the greater D.C. community the paper is supposed to serve that I really don’t care what he has to say about anything ever again.
I’m seeing so many posts from white men about how ICE isn’t big enough to target every polling place in the country.
I won’t argue that they’re overstating their capacity. But also… we know they aren’t planning to target *all* polling places, right?
The white ones will have a normal Election Day.
It’s infuriating how many people claim to care about fictitious “child trafficking” conspiracies about trans people and Wayfair and Democrats but will miss, ignore, and distract from actual government agents kidnapping children in front of their very eyes
1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?
Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.
Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!
It’s great that the champions and defenders of Western Culture are censoring Plato.
The moral panic over accurately teaching about American racism was always about disciplining professors in general. We’re a check on propaganda, which propagandists hate.
Spreading awareness. My friend’s daughter (15) is currently in the hospital fighting Leukemia. I want to share their story and GoFund to help support. If you have the means to help and donate, please do.

Sorry to be corny but the aerial shots of these crowds are almost indescribably moving and hopeful
UPDATE: DOJ has filed a notice that it is appealing tonight's time-limited TRO — an order that is generally not appealable — to the Ninth Circuit. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Please take a minute to oppose the proposed limit on foreign student visa to four years. It would collapse higher ed in the US on the graduate/professional school level. It's harebrained and evil, like most of the shit they come up with

Global health leaders expressed dismay at Kennedy's objection but vowed to move forward without the support of the U.S.
Can you imagine what we could do in this country if we actually started caring about each other?
UPDATE — DHS spokesperson confirms delivery worker Cristian Enrique Carias Torres was brutalized by six ICE agents in DC on Saturday for being undocumented and having traffic violations. The administration says they’re “proud” of their agents.
The full despicable statement provided to me here:
This was ultimately my biggest problem with substack: their notion that the answer to Nazi ideas is to amplify them so you can defeat them with better ideas presupposes that Nazi ideas have not yet been defeated on the merits, and that Nazis will ever recognize such a defeat.
The notion that fascists can be “defeated in the marketplace of ideas,” completely overlooks the fact that fascists don’t so much have ideas as they have murderous and usually genocidal intentions; for fascists ideas are just tools to achieve those intentions.
"you're unhappy because you spend too much time on your phone" speak for yourself i'm posting this shit from desktop like a true lunatic
To be honest I’ve always felt that “separating the art from the artist” is intellectually cowardly and erodes what the practice of making and experiencing art is
Blue checks are coming to Bluesky!
It's an interesting hybrid model that combines centralized verification (Bluesky says you're legit) with decentralized verification (an outside org says you're legit).
completely valid. i’m glad you’re getting the supports you need, especially on our end too for travel.
also completely understand if you’re not wanting to do so, especially at this time.
but if you are wanting to, even if only for shorter airport lines or lines at borders, then may be helpful to have interviews when you may be traveling down the road for convenience sake.
may be worth applying for nexus if you don’t have already - makes things more minimal interaction with customs since they do so much background work on whether or not you should be allowed in. you’d have both a US and Canadian interview once they do the prelim look into you.
A big lesson I hope folks can learn quickly is the difference between reclaiming an oppressive phase and accepting an oppressor’s ideology.
“We’re here, we’re queer, get used to it” reclaims a slur by trading shame for pride.
“Lock him up” accepts a fascistic frame of cruelty and expands it.
Can you imagine the conversations happening in other government admins right now. They have actual intelligent people figuring out how to fuck over the U.S. tremendously right now
Please ignore tired pieces in publications like the Atlantic that are still trying to stigmatize mask wearing.
Wearing a mask to prevent sickness from airborne viruses is a science-informed position, and it has been that way for over 100 years.
The white men fantasizing about the return of American manufacturing don’t actually think they or their kids will be working in the factories. This is their American individual idealism at work: they believe there will always be someone else working hard for their benefit
We’ve been taught our whole lives that violence is an individual person causing you direct physical harm.
And that’s why Trump/Musk use bureaucratic violence. They are hoping we’ll think it’s just a shuffling of papers and fail to notice that they’re literally killing people with their decisions.
it really did. i’m so excited for yall. I hope it’s theeee best time.
