Had great fun reconnecting with folks from the Tampa Bay area to talk about Bad Bunny, his halftime show at the Super Bowl and the unfortunate, racist response to his presence on "Florida Matters," the talk show aired by NPR affiliate WUSF-FM in Tampa. LISTEN: https://loom.ly/ClTGcaQ

Catholic Bishop Daniel E. Garcia on Trump's racist post: "Every racist act — every such comment, every joke, every disparaging look as a reaction to the color of skin, ethnicity, or place of origin — is a failure to acknowledge another person as a brother or sister, created in the image of God."

Now is probably a good time to remind folks that Elon Musk deleted this recent tweet of his about an 18 year old girl

Black History Month

The Republican Party of Kentucky last October condemned a local county party for posting the same Obama video that Trump shared on his account last night.

Sen. Gallego: Trump is suing your agency for $10 billion. Where would that $10 billion come from? Bessent: The general fund Sen. Gallego: So, taxpayers. Bessent: Yes

I went and looked for myself. Yes, the deranged criminal president of the United States posted a video showing Michelle and Barack Obama as monkeys. The Republican Party is for bigots and criminal co-conspirators who don’t mind a madman having the nuclear codes.

In a 1700-word diatribe against Pope Leo XIV and Catholic teaching, Speaker Mike Johnson falsely claims God backs mass deportations — and mercy is not the government’s concern.

Emerson poll has Gov. Andy Beshear’s net approval (+21) higher than Trump (+14) in Kentucky. Also has Mitch McConnell as… slightly unpopular (-53). Also has Charles Booker leading Amy McGrath in the #kysen Dem primary… doesn’t appear to have included Dale Romans.

This is because of Trump's Big Ugly Bill. More red tape means more hungry kids, seniors, and vets. As if it wasn't hard enough to put food on the table. This is what they sacrificed to give billionaires a permanent tax handout. bit.ly/3ZjpQDm

Walmart was up .2% Wednesday, a day after its market value topped $1 trillion for the first time. Reports suggest low wages for workers at huge retailers like Walmart (the largest private employer in the US) result in ~ $6.2 billion in public assistance costs for taxpayers annually Pay up, bitches.

Whistleblower puts Tulsi on notice that he will go to Congress himself if her office doesn’t respond by Friday.

Probably the big question should be, who is the current Epstein? A culture that engrained and widespread doesn't go away just cos one guy died.

UPDATE!!! The Tribune Editorial Board endorsed the AlPAC candidate in my race partially because she left the IL progressive caucus because she supports unconditional military aid to Israel.

Kentucky's only Dem member of Congress, @repmcgarvey.bsky.social, spoke against the DHS funding bill on the House floor this morning & referred to ICE's "campaign or terror." "Are we going to give ICE 2 more weeks to invade cities in exchange for a pinky promise that we’ll talk about reforms?"

punxsutawney phil (just had visions of pestilence, blood rain, malignant false idols, stillborn livestock): uuuh 6 more weeks of winter

And here are the details without a paywall. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

ICE is targeting Native businesses & community/resource centers in Minneapolis. They harassed people at Pow Wow Grounds & sat outside of the American Indian Women's Resource Center for 2 hours last month. Many Native people (that we know of, there's definitely more) have been kidnapped by ICE.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

Did you know baby shampoo is mild enough, when used with water, to rinse eyes if they've been sprayed? Like when walking on or around ICE? We need to be careful and listen to this ophthalmologist about pepper spray. #ProudBlue 📹: drglaucomflecken/TT (a.k.a. Dr. William Flannary)
