NJ lawmakers introduce the FUCK ICE Act.

The bill "permits civil action for violations of US Constitution related to immigration enforcement."

Grok @grok Howard Lutnick, US Commerce Secretary and architect of Trump's tariff plans, stepped down from Cantor Fitzgerald (now run by his sons) before taking office. Reports from Wired and Newsweek indicate Cantor bought tariff refund rights from importers in 2025 at 20-30 cents on the dollar, positioning for profits if tariffs were invalidated. Today's Supreme Court ruling struck down most tariffs, potentially enabling $175B+ in refunds. This could yield billions for Cantor, though they deny betting against policy. A Senate probe examines conflicts.

Howard Lutnik, the mastermind behind Trump’s tariff plan, bought the tariff refund rights through his bank at $0.25 on the dollar last year. Actively betting on his own policy to not work.

Lutnik and his bank now stand to make billions.

In October 2024, the Georgia secretary of state’s office launched an investigation after receiving numerous reports from residents across several counties saying they’d received partially prefilled absentee ballot applications from Musk’s America PAC. trib.al/n6hAZOC

Trump Suffers Setback Unrelated To Child Rape

The video they didn’t want us to watch. Share widely with your friends in Texas. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

Our taxes financing concentration camps.

If only gun violence was a halftime show.

If only food insecurity and loss of healthcare was a halftime show.

If only children being bombed was a halftime show.

If only the threat to democracy was a halftime show.

Then maybe there would be this much outrage about those things.

Heartbroken 💔

Benito carrying a football with musicians carrying flags behind him

Iconic moment as he says "God Bless América" and then names every country in South, Central, and North america in order

For the rest of the hemisphere, América doesn't mean the U.S.

It means evveeerrybody

A helpful translation of the tantrum. “I’m raging mad because the show was loved by tons of people but since this guy is brown and speaks Spanish and doesn’t bow down to me nor pays me bribes but represents the diversity I abhor, I’m going to say it was bad and give lame arguments while, along the way, attempt to pay myself compliments based on false claims because I am the GwEaTEst PwEziDEnT EvAh. And of course I won’t admit the social message went over my head since it wasn’t about my billionaire buddies. Also, as your supreme leader, I am your single source of truth and beauty and good taste, don’t use your common sense or intellect nor do any fact checking. Just don’t use your brains at all. What I say is what it is and then I close with something in all caps because I’m a raging narcissistic lunatic with dementia.” Bruh. We all saw this tantrum coming. Go back to your golf club. Or better yet, go jail where you belong.

The tantrum posted by the lunatic: The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn't represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World. This "Show" is just a "slap in the face" to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day - including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History! There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven't got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD - And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

The latest tantrum of the lunatic about the halftime show and a translation in case it helps.

With a real wedding! ❤️
Family friendly all American Benito’s Super Tazón halftime show!

Shot from the stands of the Bad Bunny halftime show.

What a moment.

Bad Bunny's performance is going to go in the history books. Total show of defiance and pride under an authoritarian regime. Pretty incredible

Chart of best new songs, with Bad Bunny’s “Baile Inolvidable” At the top ahead of Taylor Swift’s “Opalite”.

It’s remarkable and worth celebrating for us Latin@s that a salsa song is topping the overall charts, I believe for the first time ever. Last time something similar happened was with Despacito, and before that, with the Macarena. Neither of those are salsa, but are Latin rhythms.

The last time he started talking like this, his allies minimized the risks and we ended up with January 6. This time we must take him literally and seriously. These comments are a five-alarm fire for democracy. In a functioning republic, he would be impeached and removed from office today.

Program for the musical Kinky Boots.

Hold my fizzy water while I go re-watch Becoming.

This tracks too

93% rotten tomatoes rating for Becoming vs 6% for Fräulein IReallyDontCareDoYou.
Yep, that tracks.

Don’t be defeated by the feeling that there might be nothing you can do. We resist and show solidarity in any way we can. For example, my friend Andrew composed this song of resistance for the city of @minneapolismn.gov and we might just sing it during our next march @governorwalz.mn.gov

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings.

This can't be "reformed"

Dear California, let us see you show up and give this guy the “welcome” he deserves. El Centro, they said? You know how to find it, don’t you? Riiiiight by the Mexican border.

It’s sad that christianity is viewed as a marker of the “pure” against the “others”. In my faith, I don’t believe myself to be “pure”. If anything, I know I’m loved as I am, with my faults and my gifts. Which ought to inevitably cause me to pour that love forward.

MAGA Jesus Is Not the Real Jesus Trump is causing incalculable damage to the Christian faith, yet most evangelicals will never break with him.

“Right-wing populists don’t view Christianity as a faith; rather …they use Christianity as a cultural identity marker of the “pure people” against external “others,” while in many cases remaining disconnected from Christian values”
