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

The same negative or positive stereotypes used against Kamala will trickle down and be used across the board against all Black Women.

That's how racism and sexism work. It's not just about one individual; it's about all of them.

Lawsuit seeks to stop Trump's $100,000 fee for H-1B visas In what appears to be the first major challenge to the new $100,000 fee required for H-1B visa applications, a coalition of health care providers, religious groups, university professors and others filed a federal lawsuit Friday to stop the plan.

It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences.

That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras.

Rightly confident in his impunity.

That Chicago ICE raid...cui bono?

I saw the video. ICE rolling up in Logan Square Chicago looks like a terror attack. I don’t know how a person, any person, any bystander, isn’t supposed to be terrified. And it’s what they want. Fuck that.

If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...

Tweet from the VP:
Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been
overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most.
Yet she oozes with contempt.
My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much
happier person if you showed a little gratitude

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Mississippi Baby Dies of Whooping Cough Amid Rising Cases A baby in Mississippi has died of whooping cough for the first time since 2012. The baby was less than two months oldβ€”too young for vaccination.

A baby has died of whooping cough in Mississippi amidst their worst pertussis outbreak in more than a decade.

If you have a loved one with an infant or are near babies a lot, please consider getting a pertussis booster, as is recommended by legitimate science and healthcare professionals.

The FBI is now actively working to put together a team to arrest Comey between now and his court appearance on Thursday, but other FBI supervisors have also refused to cooperate, said a source knowledgeable about the conversations and a law enforcement source familiar with the situation. The expectation is that the FBI will eventually find somebody.
CBS News has reached out to the FBI for comment. Comey's lawyer, Patrick Fitzgerald, declined to comment to CBS
News.
Reuters was first to report that an FBI agent was sidelined for refusing to help with a perp walk.

I don’t understand the supposed legal basis for this.

DOJ requested a summonsβ€”*not* an arrest warrantβ€”under Rule 9 of the FRCrP.

Are they going to go back to the magistrate and ask for a warrant, even though Comey hasn’t failed to appear? If not, what’s the exigency for a warrantless arrest?

As if the furloughs and absence of a paycheck for federal workers weren’t enough, the Trump administration confirmed again what we knew to be true: he wants to permanently fire thousands more from β€œDemocrat Agencies.”

Plainly: they’re going after people the president doesn’t like…

The U.S. is probably going to lose our elimination status for measles in 2026.

MAHA is a toxic infection of the brain that spreads via social media and results in the rejection of scientific fact, followed by disease and death.

When you hear JD Vance claiming Black women haven't earned their accomplishments, just remember every job Vance has ever had was given to him by Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel.

Kamala Harris was a great VP. And Joe Biden was a great president. But with Kamala Harris the media had an obsession with nitpicking over really stupid ridiculous shit to make her look bad. And now we have a horrible president and a horrible VP who's an unlikable internet troll that fucks couches.

I quote Joseph N. Welch's confrontation of Joseph McCarthy, but I direct it at American citizens who refuse to vote Democratic:

Fun fact: Even if federal money *was* being spent on Medicaid coverage for undocumented immigrants (it isn’t), the money wouldn’t be β€œgoing to illegal aliens.”

It would be going to *healthcare providers*…ie, hospitals, doctors, etc.

Medicaid enrollees don’t receive the money.

Matt Yglesias and Ezra Klein wanted so much for Obama to usher in a new era of what they call β€œpost-racial Americaβ€œ. It didn’t happen. And they just don’t want to deal with racism. They don’t want to lose their own privilege or alienate the bros. They want to stop talking about racism dammit.

I’m supposed to believe both that trained and paid journalists couldn’t see through Project 2025 spin but also they’re the people best positioned to tell me what’s happening and how I should feel. Why? They failed at their jobs by their own admission.
