Kendrick Lamar's Superbowl performance is why funding arts and humanities matters. We have Kendrick because his teacher introduced him to poetry and writing.

Louisiana coerced unhoused people into an unheated warehouse โ€“ and paid $17.5m for it Dozens of New Orleanians were bused to a site with insufficient heating and blankets days before the city is to host the Super Bowl

In preparation for todayโ€™s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse.

The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

If you are a yt person over 50, and youโ€™re about to give your negative opinion of the halftime show, THINK:

[T]hings donโ€™t have to be โ€œfor youโ€ to be good art.

[H]eck, Kendrick has a Pulitzer and

[I] donโ€™t think you do so maybe you are

[N]ot qualified to speak on the caliber of his art

[K]?

Needed this so much right now. I just called out the fact that Kendrick Lamar carried that red, white, and blue theme through. He owned it!

My fam knew what that meant.

THEY donโ€™t want us here, but they do not own the flag. โ€œNot Like Usโ€

Sunset on Whitley Bay beach in the UK.

Sunset on Whitley Bay beach in the UK.

The sun bows low in crimson grace, kissing waves in soft embrace. Shadows dance on golden shore, whispering tales of days before. The ocean hums a lullaby, as stars awaken in the sky. Night arrives on painted seas, carried home by the twilightโ€™s breeze.

letโ€™s take this a step further and make sure that people who treat anyone like a second class arenโ€™t in your โ€œpolite companyโ€

otherwise youโ€™ll always be at risk

Story about Claudette Colvin in Oprah Daily

Story about Claudette Colvin in Oprah Daily

Before Rosa Parks, there was Claudette Colvin. At just 15, she stood up to injustice by staying seated. Her courage helped pave the way for the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Let's honor this teenage trailblazer who proved you're never too young to fight for what's right.

Actual Trump voters DO NOT CARE about โ€œbread and butter issues.โ€

They have a parasocial relationship with Trump. Heโ€™s angry, theyโ€™re angry, and it makes them feel seen.

Itโ€™s part of the reason Dsโ€™ messaging is NOT resonating with them.

GET MAD about fascism and FIGHT, goddamnit!
