I LOVE how #BADBUNNY staged #SuperBowlLX show as a party or festival and featured the culture of #PuertoRico, and with saucy dance and music. And he showed the PR flag for independence. It was a wonderful show. And didn't it make you want to dance?

We have a sexual rapist, sexual predator, pedophile Billionaire in the White House who abused children for years. He was friends with Epstein, he knew what Epstein was doing. He was involved. There is so much to uncover. He is willing to go to war to protect this info from public scrutiny.

Please, please, media outlets, remember the C word: context. You can’t discuss Trump’s apes post - or his ‘blame a staffer’ excuse - if you’re not also factoring in and reminding your viewers/readers about his birtherism, his ‘send her back’ remarks, him calling Somalis ‘low IQ’.

Federal Dist. Court Judge Fred Biery in San Antonio ordered release of 5-year-old Liam Ramos & his father, who were taken by ICE in Minneapolis & transferred to a TX detention center. Biery wrote "Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power +

Judge Orders ICE Chief to Appear in Court Over Potential Contempt

The question, as always, is whether or when the administration will comply with the courts' orders. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/u...

Good riddance to a real talentless jerk. He should be in jail. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

I am sure it has occurred to others as well...watching the angry, ruthless beatings of people by #ICE is like watching #Jan6 all over again. Only this time, they were pardoned by #Trump and regime before the cases ever tracked the courts.

Republican ends bid for Minnesota governor, citing ‘unconstitutional’ ICE surge Chris Madel drops out of race and in video criticizes the ‘federal retribution on the citizens’ of Minnesota

GOPer Chris Madel ended run for MN gov because of party's “stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.” Citizens esp. those of color "live in fear...carrying papers to prove their citizenship.That’s wrong." www.cnn.com/2026/01/26/p...

Looks like Republicans on the midterm ballot (and Trump redistricting plan) are feeling the heat from the ICE melt. Abbot’s criticism is in the headline.

DO NOT BELIEVE LIES FROM TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. They lie to convince us that our eyes lie to us. Today's video does not show the victim holding his gun as he was getting beaten just before agent fired off shots.

Agree that we need to abolish ICE. But that can't happen next week when the Senate votes on the DHS bill. Dems need to be united and vote down the funding bill & then force a larger discussion. For now, WE HAVE TO CALL CONGRESS, even if you have a DEM in your state. I'm focusing on #SenTimKaine-VA

This has been confirmed. Rob Reiner has died.

Police have confirmed the death of Rob Reiner. I can't help but think that this had something to do with his activism against Trump. I am beyonnd sad about this.
