Trump’s Version of “Domestic Terrorism” vs. the First Amendment The administration has given itself permission to prosecute people and organizations for their political views.

The Trump admin. has expanded the use of domestic terrorism investigations against individuals or groups that oppose its policies - a “dangerous and unwarranted” expansion of executive power. New piece by @rlevinsonwaldman.bsky.social

Pop star Bad Bunny needed a Puerto Rican history scholar. UW–Madison had just the one. Bad Bunny collaborated with UW–Madison history professor Jorell Meléndez-Badillo on Puerto Rican narratives that accompany the new album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.”

Bad Bunny has a consulting historian. news.wisc.edu/pop-star-bad...

I loved that! The only thing I would like more would have been cameos from other Latin artists who've appeared at previous half time shows: Gloria Estefan, Shakira, Jlo and so many others. It would have been a real slap to people who questioned the choice to have Bad Bunny as the performance

America can have a little anti-capitalism, as a treat

Nothing like bringing Tom Brady on stage to American Idiot.

Green Day got bleeped on American Idiot, but I can imagine what Billy Joe said.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

My favorite bit of Rockwell lore is that Michael Jackson is singing BACK-UP on "Somebody's Watching Me" because Rockwell is Berry Gordy's kid. Michael Jackson did not have a "Featuring" credit on the release, and it was the height of the Thriller era

If everyone just worked until they dropped dead, think of how much money we'd save on Social Security!

No! Not Catherine OHara!
I dont know if I want to post the "Day-oh!" Beetlejuice gif, or an iconic Moira Rose react, or something from Best in Show! She was just such a jewel.

If any of these right wing pigeons believed their "We the People" tattoos and window stickers they'd understand that authority stems from the citizens, therefore all agents of the government owe the people a certain degree of transparency and accountability.

I think Zosia has to be a wrench in the plan ...they've devoted too much time to developing her relationship w Carol, that her authentic self is still in there.

Oooh. That one was good. I was begging my friends to watch, so I could discuss with someone. I mean we definitely think they're going to turn Carol, right?!

My friends, we are in a serious constitutional crisis. The government is racially profiling, suppessing free speech, killing our own people in the streets— and lying about every fact along the way. If we don’t use our natural talents and voices to say “no,” then what’s the point of law at all?

Maybe it's a little like TV when we all went to streaming services. You couldn't really get critical mass where everyone was collectively experiencing the same thing at the same time and we were all in on the conversation. There are so many niche genres that people just don't share as much

This feels like Schrodinger's Gun that is both legal and necessary for personal protection when carried by the chosen in-group, but absolutely forbidden and life-threatening when carried by a member of the out-group.
Are you comfortable with a Constitution that is applied to some but not all?

I am once again going to note that the voices saying a shooting was justified because Pretti had a gun, are the very same voices that have been yelling to expand open-carry and concealed-carry laws in places like Minnesota, and fight any encroachment on the 2nd Amendment.

The rhythm could NEVER .... never met a 1 and 3 beat he didn't want to clap on.

It's deadly! It will make you do the conga, until you know you can't control yourself any longer! The horror

Poland has entered the chat on appeasement

Amid ICE clashes, New Hampshire bishop urges clergy to prepare their wills The Episcopal bishop of New Hampshire told priests protesting ICE to get their wills and affairs in order. Some praise the bishop, while other priests say they never signed up to be martyrs.

Tomorrow I'll be thinking of Dr. King and of the clergy of every faith who have stood against ICE in cities across the country.

I'm like Cassandra over here. I posted this last year when we started this Greenland business

Leaders receive US invite for 'Board of Peace' to go beyond Gaza conflict The names do not include any Palestinians.

Board of Peace?! A multinational rival to the UN that Trump controls and other countries can buy their way on to.

Some ghoul in the administration absolutely read 1984 in high school, and thought it was an aspirational text instead of a dystopian one.

Not to say "I told you so..." but at this rate my collapse of NATO post will come true by Easter

Ok, What about "Bombs over Caracas," Summer of '26?
It can have a flute solo C'mon

Thank you for being an ally

Wild that he "Just Comply, don't interfere" crowd are also the "Come and Take 'Em" 2nd Amendment bumper sticker brigade.

The very same thing that motivates gun-owners to defend their right to not comply with encroachment on their 2A rights, is what motivated Good to protest actions of gov agents

That's perhaps a better way to frame it
