Somewhere around minute 35, @rafaelagustin.bsky.social gives the most beautiful example of my current mentality around success & fulfillment that stopped me dead in my tracks on a walk yesterday. 💛 10/10 highly recommend for some perspective on achievement. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Bad Bunny raised all of our flags tonight, including America’s. Racists can go f*ck themselves.

It’s no surprise Dave Roberts and the Dodgers are deciding to visit the White House after everything ICE has done to Los Angeles because MLB has the most Republican players out of any league, even more than NHL or NFL.

The 10 companies to boycott during February: - Microsoft - Apple - Amazon - Google - Meta - OpenAI - Netflix - Paramount+ - Uber - X

So the tech elites pretended that Trump was better for America than Kamala just to protect themselves from the release of the Epstein files.

He was a preschooler with a Spider-Man backpack on. He was detained by ICE. He looks like any other American child wearing an oversized blue knitted cap with fluffy bunny ears. Unless, of course, you think American simply means white.

Sinners has set a new record for most Oscar nominations today, yet Rolling Stone omitted it from its 2025 Top 20 Movies list. This is why predominately white institutions are in desperate need of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Maybe he didn’t acknowledge MLK Day because Dr. King actually won the Nobel Peace Prize.

There’s a clear pattern to how Trump has long been building toward the Insurrection Act. He isn’t “unhinged”—his horrid responses to ICE shootings, assassinations, and mass killings are by design. National traumas are his ammo. I document his method here 👉🏻 www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Spotify is no longer running ICE recruitment ads on their platform, and it only took an artist boycott, a listener boycott, an innocent woman being murdered in Minneapolis, an innocent man being murdered in California, and 32 human beings (that we know of) dying in ICE detention in 2025.

The great irony of Marco Rubio leading the charge in Venezuela is that he made his career pretending his family escaped communist Cuba, only to be revealed later that his family really escaped the U.S.-backed dictatorship of Cuba.

If you hate refugees, immigrants, and undocumented workers, then you of all people have to help stop U.S. foreign policy, like what just happened in Venezuela, which only creates more refugees, immigrants, and undocumented workers.

Since CBS cut off Raul de Molina during their live NYE broadcast with Ryan Seacrest, let me clearly reiterate what he was trying to say: WE HOPE THAT THINGS GET BETTER FOR THE LATINO COMMUNITY AND FOR IMMIGRANTS IN 2026.

The real “Patriot Games” is putting every Trump supporter, ICE defender, and Epstein files redactor in a ring with Anthony Joshua.

50 Cent now needs to do a docuseries on Jeffrey Epstein. Like Diddy, you know Epstein didn’t pay his videographers.

"One of the most staggering things is that the Roberts Court has ruled for President Trump 90 percent of the time in shadow docket cases. Lower courts keep restraining the president but the Supreme Court is repeatedly saying that the president and his party are above the law"

The Sackler family did more to ignite the Fentanyl crisis than Venezuela yet the President is not going after them.

If MAGA would just replace “illegals” with “billionaires,” they’d be able to crack the code.

Who else is ready to bring up politics at Thanksgiving just to save money at Christmas?

People are surprised that Univision is collaborating with ICE and DHS to run anti-immigrants ads in Spanish. Don’t forget that the owners of that network are white and privileged before they are Mexican.

The new Mayor of New York was raised on a healthy dose of Jane The Virgin.

People who hate Obamacare but love the Affordable Care Act are like people who hate lip balm but love Chapstick.

The Constitution is not self-enforcing. The only thing holding our Republic together are our norms. And the only thing that enforces those norms is The People. No one is coming to save us. It's entirely up to us.

I wonder how U.S. farmers are feeling about their Trump vote after he said he prefers his beef and soy beans with chimichurri.

There were 160,000 jobs in Hollywood in 2022. Today, we have fallen below 95,000 jobs. We’re about to lose one of the greatest American exports of all time.

Lies spread six times faster when laced with fear, anger, and hate. Algorithms aren’t designed to tell us fact from fiction. They’re designed to maximize user engagement and platform activity, even at the cost of tearing our country apart.

Young Republicans sound like Hitler Youth. And that’s only one published group chat.

Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of reddit, said the platform would not exist if ICE had been around to kidnap his formerly undocumented mother.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I benefited from the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which was only possible because of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. That means that I, along with a lot of immigrants and children of immigrants, benefited from Black activists.

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

Perfect

Why were evacuation orders to west Altadena (historically Black, emerging Latino, all working class) so delayed as the Eaton Fire ravaged our community, and who was responsible? Well, LA County just spent $2M on a report that said nobody in LA County was responsible. I call bullshit.

Bad Bunny is a U.S. citizen. Where was this outrage when Coldplay and Phil Collins played the Super Bowl halftime show?

DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE.

The launch of my first book feels like just yesterday. Gayle King gifted me a box of Vicks VapoRub before this interview (if you read the book, you know what that means to me).

Why would Elon Musk blame the Charlie Kirk killing on the “radical left?” Because he knows he and the other tech billionaires share some of the blame. They have connected engagement with enragement in all our algorithms and bought off the government to have zero regulation against their actions.

Once you learn that someone preaching the word of Christ is a white supremacist, you have to take a good look in the mirror, and decide what kind of Christian you want to be.

Pro tip to Laura Loomer who deleted this: The Internet is written in indelible ink.

Fox News is just forging ahead tonight as though a card-carrying Democrat gunned down Charlie Kirk. The narrative is impervious to facts.

Racism wins with this Supreme Court...again.

Latino men would rather join ICE than go to therapy.

Snoop Dog, being scared of a same sex couple in an animated movie, is not very gangster.

Cal Poly Pomona invited ICE on campus as a potential employer for their career fair, but the students, faculty, and community said hell nah. The college has postponed the event, realizing that terrorizing hardworking immigrant communities is not be a career.

Why are our tios and tias leaning right politically? A 2021 study found that 70% of misinformation in English on Facebook was flagged, versus only 30% of misinformation in Spanish being flagged. Today, nothing is being flagged.

If white supremacy and Christian nationalism survive in the future, it will be because of self-hating Latinos.

And this is why you should always support your local bookstores.
