#BadBunny's performers continued to dance and party outside the stadium after the #SuperBowl #HalftimeShow
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Yea, I think this feels pretty right. I think it's best of the bad outcomes in that it preserves WB as a studio instead its dismembering/consolidation into Paramount or Universal. BUT, how does TCM work separated from WB? Who knows! How about CNN? Or TNT?
I just saw that Body and Soul is on Plex app
Back when I watched them, I loved this and Body and Soul as top boxing noir movies. I need to revisit them.
Del Toro's quote 🔥 for the arts and humanities
“Without the annoying inconvenience of facts justices can create the world that Kavanaugh so flagrantly manufactures. A world in which ICE agents respectfully ‘inquire’ about legal status during ‘brief stops.’”
The descent to full blown state approval of race/ethnic profiling, harassment and discrimination in 2025.
These words by Justice Sotomayor will forever be etched in the history of this country.
I loved @vermontgmg.bsky.social's latest piece so much that I asked if I could republish it on The Handbasket and he so generously said yes.
If you haven't read it yet, please do. It's essential:
I saw it in Inglewood in a theater filled with Black people my age and older and folks had a good time. Apple is really ridiculous. Giving this a proper release would only be good for Apple TV+. I know they make a fortune daily but why leave money on the table? Why?
#Highest2Lowest is worth watching on the big screen. Lee and Washington are the best duo in cinema today. Great filmmaking for 2025!
Only 2 theaters in Iowa showing Spike Lee's new film. Go see it! Great direction, acting, and I loved the Puerto Rican parade dance concert scene! (I'm a little biased: viva Puerto Rrrrrrico!)
Ethan Hawke reflecting on awards after getting advice from Denzel Washington: "The Academy Award has more power, because Denzel has a couple. It didn’t elevate who he was.”
The evidence is overwhelming that ICE is violating the Constitution.

INBOX: @velazquez.house.gov Statement on Firing of Puerto Rico Fiscal Board Members
President Trump didn't like the jobs numbers, so he fired the person responsible for producing them.
It's a move that has been tried before, by leaders of countries from Argentina to Greece to the Soviet Union. It rarely ends well.

Hiding the numbers from families isn’t going to bring back jobs or lower the cost of groceries.
Ryne Sandberg. Second to None.
Today, President Trump signed a bill into law that will eliminate $1.1B of federal funding for public media. This devastating act tipped the threat against journalism in America into a crisis.

Jeff Bezos systematically dismantled the Washington Post. Now, he’s looking to purchase Condé Nast and CNBC.
Paramount & CBS have bent the knee.
Tech billionaires are manipulating their platforms’ algorithms to favor fascists.
NPR & PBS have been defunded.
This is state propaganda in the making.
Another legal immigrant arrested. We can't ever become numb to what is happening. This is wrong. It's not "normal" wrong. It's civilization-altering wrong.
Being on the receiving end, it's sobering to be reminded that in 2025 sexual harassment of people running outdoors continues to take place. A reminder for men who harass and men who need to be allies #endsexualharassment
Am "shocked" to see no Latino journalists on this list. It just confirms what I said at a recent panel that in the end, we as a community need to uplift each other because nobody is coming to save us.
The only #defund movements the U.S. congress approves are #defundhealthcareaccess #defundeducation #defundnonpartisannews #defundsesamestreet #defundscience
Republicans just voted to strip $9 billion from NPR, PBS, and foreign aid—because nothing says “fiscal responsibility” like canceling Sesame Street while approving tax breaks for billionaires who think empathy is a character flaw.

Wow. @404media.co uncovered the names of additional dozens of people who were disappeared by the Trump administration on the March flights to El Salvador.

Another ICE "assault" case unravels. Border Patrol and ICE are arresting US citizens and then after they find out that they are US citizens, they are charging them with "assault" to justify their actions. This is clearly DHS policy at this point. We've seen it repeatedly now.
This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode deficits
3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.
