/2 I liked the music because it conveyed confidence, community, and joy, like the choreography. It was fun to watch. It felt very, and uniquely, American. And giving the Grammy to Liam was absolutely stunning.

‘Together, We Are America’ Bad Bunny’s critics said his Super Bowl halftime show would be divisive. They were totally wrong.

This is a great piece by my colleague spencer on the bad bunny helftimeshow but of course there’s never been a more divisive idea in American history than all of us being American, we fought a civil war over it and Trump is nothing if not manifest opposition to it www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

halftime show

what a shot

That critique of the government extracting resources from PR. The power poles.

Bad Bunny just abolished ICE through relentless fuck you pride and joy

"God Bless America:" then he lists most of the countries in the hemisphere starting with Chile I think? this rules

BASH: Is this measles outbreak a consequence of the administration undermining support for vaccines?

DR OZ: I don't believe so. Secretary Kennedy has been advocating for measles vaccines

BASH: Oh, come on

Prosecutors Began Investigating Renee Good’s Killing. Washington Told Them to Stop.

You should read this. It is the type of detail that experts in authoritarian regimes see as telling.
In this case, state agents are offered impunity from higher ups, and the legal system is rendered inoperative as a mode of accountability.

Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

for better or worse, people will forget about that video by the end of the year, if not end of the month. but when trump finally kicks the bucket, there were be orgasmic celebrations across the US & around the world. he will be remembered as the most despised US president since WWII for generations

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

Money can buy happiness. If Elon Musk built a rocket and shot himself into the fucking sun that would generate massive happiness.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

Don’t know how many more examples it’s going to take for people to realize that billionaires are an existential threat to democracy and its institutions.

Missouri Senator Josh Hawley demanding DoJ investigate anti ICe activists in Minnesota

I guess if you’re Josh Hawley and you’re the kind of person who flees in terror from a riot you started the courage of ordinary people must seem befuddling

Every single community in every state should fight against putting concentration camps in your state or locale. You do NOT want your history to be one of housing a concentration camp where guards torture and rape prisoners and billionaires make money off slave labor.

A multimillionaire thinks that paying down the national debt is so important that all the poors should get into the workforce earlier, work in it harder, and stay in it later to help pay it off.

It's the only possible way to do it!

There has to be an investigation into the many individuals who committed heinous crimes alongside Epstein.

There should be a special prosecutor, or a congressional investigation, that looks into the crimes and the ongoing cover-up. It has to happen.

As @therickwilson.bsky.social put it,

Someday we will look back at all this and find it impossible to believe it actually happened. And by someday, I mean tomorrow.

Ellison: "Trump undermines Tom Homan just as soon as he sends him here, which tells us what? There's chaos in the White House. They don't know what they want. They don't clue as to what their plan or strategy is other than brutal repression."

Ellison on Trump: "That sounds like a petty child who will not tolerate any challenge to his massive and highly delicate ego. As he's wearing his fancy tuxedo going to whatever fancy ball he's going to, Minnesotans are standing in the 9 below weather fighting for our very democracy and lives."

Miller's claim was pioneered by none other than Confederate President Jefferson Davis:
"The condition of slavery with us is, in a word, Mr. President, nothing but the form of civil government instituted for a class of people not fit to govern themselves."

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

I saw it too:
