Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance required 9,852 theatrical pyrotechnics, nearly 400 costumed extras, and a lot of ingenuity.

And yes, that was a real couple featured in the wedding.

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 when I saw the sugar cane field. My grandfather was a sugar cane farmer in Puerto Rico. Incredible to see this. 🇵🇷❤️

Last week the far right started peddling a narrative that the outrage over Epstein is a moral panic. Today, like clockwork, a more polite version of that narrative appears in the Atlantic.

I can’t overstate that nearly every good headline coming out of Minnesota has been followed up by retaliation by the Trump administration—which tends to get a lot less attention.

This is infuriating and devastating.

if everyone could take on the “what if we just did the thing instead of waiting for it to happen” energy that much of minneapolis has right now, the world could be pretty good

It’s bizarre to watch RFK Jr’s HHS try to pull the Jedi mind trick so many times and so unconvincingly

Oh I isn’t know there were others like me. My partner tells me all the time I too doom for my team. Well I am just doom

Dumb question: This scandal, considered seismic in Britain, is really about Mandelson leaking confidential, market-moving govt information to Epstein amid the 2008 financial crisis, which Epstein in turn passed to JP Morgan, including advice to Jamie Dimon.

Why is this not hitting Jamie Dimon?

Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) says he was uninvited from a bipartisan White House dinner for governors

"As the nation’s only Black governor, I can’t ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight — whether that was the intent or not"

This reminds me of the champagne the gays hoarded for when Reagan died.

Still hasn't met its goal, which is SO disappointing. Please share this widely. The Good and Pretti families deserved every penny they got, but it's SO disappointing that the victims of color can't even come close to raising the same amounts for their families.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Make 2026 the year you seek out truly independent and billionaire-free media like @petedominick.bsky.social's podcast "Stand Up!"

It's so refreshing to hear people say true things that legacy media omits or euphemizes, sanewashes, and normalizes.

And follow @celesteheadlee.bsky.social!

Now that the president of the US has shared a horrifyingly racist video with the public, can news outlets please just start calling him a racist? Not racially charged, not controversial, not provocative. Racist.

We have seen the same strategy with Abrego Garcia here in Maryland. When the administration is forced to release someone while the public is watching, they pursue that person down every possible avenue, using any tactic they can. They NEED to prove they were right by removing them.

This is a must listen

I remember this well it was the first time in history of the company (50 yrs) they had to lay people off. Only reason I didn’t go is they had to have 2 of us and there were 2 of us. It was bad

Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins President Trump now says it was Attorney General Pam Bondi who insisted DNI Tulsi Gabbard attend the FBI raid in Georgia. Last night, he told NBC he didn't know why she was there. And Gabbard said in a letter to Congress that "the president specifically directed my observance of the execution of the Fulton County search warrant."

I want to reiterate that this shit is nuts. A federal invasion of state-run elections, an intelligence community invasion of federal law enforcement, a White House invasion of a criminal investigation, and a president’s insane treasonable sore loser obsession all rolled up and muddled together.

Omg my day is made!

I know you know. You know the bible she don’t. I have spent time with this human. Let me state after she came and spoke at our church my former pastor apologized to us the staff did bringing her. She is a grifter. He canceled the investigation into her taxes

A bus stop near Tesla's flagship store in London. Imagine a Super Bowl ad that showed only this.

Every year, I celebrate Black History Month by telling you about brilliant, kicka** Black women that you've probably never heard of.
