The inside story of the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show. from @waterslicer.bsky.social and @d-jacks.bsky.social

Spouse and I (who met in Seattle) just laughing out loud in our living room

you know what's cheaper and safer than a ring camera? a fake camera. I've had one since my last porch theft three years ago and it even fooled the eye of a cop trying to get me to snitch on my neighbors. you can't subpoena a recording that doesnt exist.

Keep seeing the misinformation that this was Liam on here--has been reported that it was not

Basically Ring advertised the technology Batman used to find the Joker that Lucius Fox refused to be a part of except for that one time.

You’ve seen the halftime show … now read my friend Petra’s new book from @dukepress.bsky.social about how Bad Bunny became the global voice of Puerto Rican resistance! 👏🏽👏🏽 www.dukeupress.edu/p-fkn-r

When I wrote Section 230 I did so knowing it would be critical for protecting free speech online. 30 years later and it’s one of the last things standing in the way of Republican censorship of the internet. Here’s to many more years of defending this vital safeguard of free speech.

Puerto Ricans have been fighting for energy democracy - the right to control their grid locally and build the clean energy future on the island - for decades. If you want to support an incredible effort, get plugged into the work led by Queremos Sol! queremossolpr.org

Variety confirms the wedding in Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show was real

That Ring ad

Need some bilingual Wikipedians to update this to make it less of a press release for the company en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LUMA_En...

Just a few weeks ago, the administration cancelled all remaining department of energy grid resilience projects in Puerto Rico. All of them. www.latitudemedia.com/news/the-end...

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state. Tell them it will find your dog.

shorter ring commercial: your spy camera’s auto-search function will only be used to track down lost dogs AND NEVER TO HUNT HUMANS (probably)

So uh Ring just up and said they've got a huge centralized private surveillance network they can leverage all at once huh

If you didn’t catch the significance of the exploding transformers in Bad Bunny’s halftime show, I gotcha. Here’s one of a bunch of pieces I wrote from/on Puerto Rico about the crisis—and Trump’s role in it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Are we normalizing surveillance with puppies. Fuck this

Everybody: That show was beautiful. Me: OVERRULE THE INSULAR CASES TOMORROW FFS

Halftime show over, it is time for The Insular Cases

Experiencing this in San Juan with a giant room full of Puerto Ricans who came out just for this was one of the best collective live TV experiences I have ever had

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

thank you bad bunny for allowing all the thirty eight year olds on bluesky to do the leo pointing meme at the television

Words cannot express the personal satisfaction I take in seeing Benito drag PREPA in front of tens of millions of people

Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

I'm at the Olympics and the entire stadium booed JD Vance. 😌

After several years of renovations, the Castro Theatre finally reopens today, and I am already disappointed

I am thrilled to be a member of the new cohort of CDT Non-Resident Fellows, together with my HAI colleague Jen King. I was a CDT intern way back in 2007, and 20 years later, my career has brought me full circle.

I still can’t believe I spent the last nine months writing about art, law, and redaction aesthetics and now we get this: www.404media.co/the-doj-reda...

Among (lots of) other things, this is going to flood the federal courts of appeals with cases in which the BIA might previously have cleaned up the IJ's messes. When something like this happened in 2004, the circuit courts ... did not respond favorably to the government's positions in those cases.

it's dual state theory all the way down

Hey, remember that time I said that pointing out that AI is giving bad data to ICE is missing the point because ICE doesn't actually care if the data is good? Check out how right I am.

I am now raising rent funds for another Minneapolis family who has been impacted by ICE. For this family, the remaining need is $775. Can we make this happen for them today? I believe in us & will post receipts! V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Please help and share! Thank you 💖

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot. I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

cannot possibly convey how actually crazy-making it can feel, after spending 20 years monitoring all these orgs blaming sex workers and the internet for enabling a vast sex trafficking network, to now see Jeffery Epstein’s inbox

@wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him

EpsteIN—as in, Epstein and LinkedIn—searches your connections on the social network for names that match those in the released files.

Benedict Bridgerton is the worst

As far as I know, this is DHS's first effort to explain their position that I-205 forms allow entry into the home. They rely on the dicta in the 1960 Abel case (before Payton) and re-imagine the plurality opinion in Lucas as if it were the majority (and then overrely on it).

My actual job description is activist and here’s what I tell people in despair all the time: do not underestimate how much harm you can prevent by being just a little bit annoying.

Within a month of our President calling all Somalis "garbage," saying "they contribute nothing" that "they come from hell," "I don't want them in our country," the DOJ appears to be creating a separate process for deportation proceedings based on nationality just for Somalis.

🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US. Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records. Explore the map here: tinyurl.com/ICEWarehouse...

Karp resigned as chair, but did not resign from his job. Paul Weiss said in its statement that Mr. Karp “will continue to focus his full-time attention to client service at the firm.”

There's been lots of attention on 1 particular inexperienced & untrained govt lawyer But I want to give a shout-out to Kira Kelley, climatedefenseproject.org/profile/kira..., who focused on ICE's horrific treatment of an immigrant prisoner -- all occurring *after* the court had ordered him released

NEW: The unfathomable Minnesota transcript that must be read, as it tells the reality of America today. "I am not white, as you can see," Julie Le — a government lawyer — told a federal judge on Tuesday. "And my family's at risk as any other people that might get picked up too ..." Law Dork:

our government used a Blackhawk helicopter in a major American city, detained children and zip-tied U.S. citizens all to target... squatters and the alleged Tren de Aragua presence? "It was a brutal lie against the American public." www.propublica.org/article/chic...
