I've heard directly from hundreds of children at Dilley. One young girl who shared her story with me grew up in the United States and her stepfather is a U.S. citizen. She said that the guards are mean to her, she is afraid, and that she is worried she will die in detention.

She has been in Dilley for over 120 days. Her and Liam’s stories are one of thousands. What the Trump admin is doing to our children is depraved and unconscionable. Dilley must close. #FreeOurChildren

A Boynton cartoon! Who are you rooting for? Do you even know who’s playing?! 🏈

Unrelated to tonight’s festivities, I’ve been cracking my low back again so the pelvic floor is officially rebuilding itself! Grateful to my Private Pilates sessions for the assistance.

All my Ocasios had a beautiful night tonight!

I don't care about football, but Bad Bunny's performance is an exultant battery against what this administration believes: that there is only one America proper.

The Racist Supreme Court Cases That Cemented Puerto Rico’s Second-Class Status The devastation wrought by Hurricanes Irma and Maria has reawakened many Americans to the existence of Puerto Rico as well as the archaic laws and...

Never thought this piece from 2017 would apply to the Super Bowl halftime show but here is some FURTHER READING

Raphal de la Ghetto @ilovesmick All these white people mad about Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl performance... I hope next year they get Bad Bunny performing the whole set in Spanish. 5:32 PM • 2/11/25 • 6.7M Views

It’s such a hard choice, but, this has to be my fav highlight of Bad Bunny’s halftime show. He powerfully showcased the breadth and beauty of Latino culture and all that it has given America, while reminding us of how much America has lost its way.

No Kings includes Draft Kings

An image of a social media post on X (formerly Twitter) from Jake Paul (@jakepaul), dated February 8, 2026. The text reads: "Purposefully turning off the halftime show. Let's rally together and show big corporations they can't just do whatever they want without consequences (which equals viewership for them). You are their benefit. Realize you have power. Turn off this halftime. A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that."

This guy has the gall to colonize Puerto Rico and present himself as Puerto Rican before his boxing match and then calls Bad Bunny a fake citizen and diss the whole island with this. ¡Vete pal carajo!

I think it's very fun that they were like "idk here's Alolan Gaga"

The end of DOE’s grid work in Puerto Rico The Trump administration has canceled all eight of the remaining awards devoted to distributed energy on the island.

Just a few weeks ago, the administration cancelled all remaining department of energy grid resilience projects in Puerto Rico. All of them. www.latitudemedia.com/news/the-end...

I sobbed during Benito’s performance. From Pedro to Cardi to Gaga. Then Ricky singing “Lo Que Le Pasó en Hawái” then to “El Apagón”. That was my great-grandfather. He died keeping the lights on for his neighbors. His death forced my family to move to New York. What an experience.

LO QUE TENEMOS

Puerto Ricans have been fighting for energy democracy - the right to control their grid locally and build the clean energy future on the island - for decades. If you want to support an incredible effort, get plugged into the work led by Queremos Sol! queremossolpr.org

Donate Your Miles — Stand With Minnesota Donate your Delta Skymiles to get people home from Texas

DID YOU KNOW?

If you have Delta Sky Miles, you can donate them to help a kidnapped-and-released person fly home!

They are set free on the streets of El Paso or another Texas town with no phone, no money, nothing at all. Your miles can get them back to their loved ones!

1) the fact that it’s the green line, and then
2) BIG DIG 2 😭

And don’t give up on Minnesota. We aren’t giving up and you shouldn’t either.

The CIA World Factbook is dead. Here's how I came to love it The Factbook survived the Cold War and became a hit online. It mixed quirky cultural notes and trivia with maps, data, and photos taken by CIA officers. But it was discontinued this week.

I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

Tuberculosis Spawning in Crowded, Dirty ICE Detention Centers - The American Prospect Doctors and medical researchers expect more outbreaks of infectious disease as the Trump administration crams thousands more people into miserable conditions.

Tuberculosis has been circulating in ICE prisons for months. I wrote it back in August and there is no doubt in my mind that there are way more outbreaks than we're aware of. We have to get people out of these camps.
