Bad Bunny responds to his Super Bowl critics in Spanish, and then English: “And, if you didn’t understand know what I just said, you have four months to learn!”

Bye week grinding.

Rehearsal this morning, Hollywood Bowl tonight.

It’s the first week of school for many—a time that should be filled with joy, not grief.

Those children in Minnesota were at Mass when their lives were stolen.

My heart goes out to all impacted by this act of violence. Gun violence has no place in our schools, our churches, or our communities.

Attorney General Bonta: ICE and CBP Must End Unlawful Practices in Los Angeles Immediately "We won’t be silent. We won’t back down. We will continue to hold the federal government accountable when it violates the Constitution and federal law.”

The actions of ICE and CBP during the raids in Los Angeles are not about safety or justice—they’re about meeting enforcement quotas and striking fear in communities.

We’ve filed a brief supporting a challenge to ICE and CBP’s unlawful practices.

We won’t back down and we won’t be silent.

Nightmare fuel for the next 2-3 business months.

A federal judge on Friday granted Harvard a preliminary injunction, temporarily halting the Trump administration’s withdrawal of its ability to enroll international students while it determines Trump’s entry ban on holders of Harvard-sponsored visas. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Sen. Booker just broke the record for the longest floor speech in Senate history—a record set by Strom Thurmond trying to block the Civil Rights Act. The irony ain’t lost on us. From fighting against justice to fighting for it. This is what courage & being on the right side of history looks like!

Keep going, Cory!

We must find & feed the points of light.”
