This is literally what CURRENT LAW requires. It’s in the Constitution! www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

unions are the most important first amendment organizations for working ppl

The choice to frame this rhetorically as a negotiation *with ICE and DHS* rather than, you know, a decision about their future made by their rightful superiors in the popularly elected legislature is, to me, incredibly grating.

The media should be PRAISING these athletes who know and understand the importance of public health. These articles should be about how they are setting an example for EVERYONE. And how we should all take their lead. Instead their positioning is: “look at these fucking weirdos”

Interesting rhetoric from AOC here

If you see a politician or a pundit or even a "civil rights" leader who is not talking about clawing back this unprecedented funding for surveillance, militarized invasions, and privatized concentration camps, then you know this is not a serious person. It's an easy litmus test.

The idea of a bill rendering people deportable for following religious law should make every Jew ill

The United States is purposefully blockading Cuba from accessing fuel that powers everything from grocery stores to hospitals. People will die. Children will die. What's being done to the people of Cuba is monstrous. The people in power were ok with it in Gaza and now they're doing it to Cuba.

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.

Her community rallied so fast and so diligently. This is a victory to uphold and celebrate. Reminds everyone that it's worth fighting back.

Genuinely gives me a lot of hope that the NFL is a cynical, cash-motivated organization and they're betting on this being the future

The current NIMBY speaking literally just said “I live right next to this parking lot and it gives the area a real neighborhood feeling”

fun Easter egg on SBHT rewatch: the horns played the riff to "La Murga" when Bad Bunny mentioned Willie Colon in "NUEVAYoL"

how does it not bother investors that Elon Musk never actually delivers the thing if he didn't deliver affordable EVs, the 100% solar-powered Superchargers, the "alien dreadnought" factory, the game-changing solar roof, or L5 self-driving why believe he'll deliver data centers in space or whatever?

When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies. It was a "sideshow," I was told.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

all Dems should join Massie in demanding Luttnick resign

The NYT fired everyone who knew that sugar cane is kinda important to Puerto Rico. They're dumber than dogshit over there. This is so fucking embarrassing.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

Seeing fieldworkers produce their own histories, knowledge, narratives, and generally assert their power and voice over the world has been sugarcane plantation owners' greatest fear.

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

Ooookay here we go. Bad Bunny 101 condensed into six weeks of music, reading material, and perreo

To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.

We predicted almost this exact scenario in the VISION MACHINE graphic novel in 2011. Only in our book they used a little missing girl instead of a lost dog to get people to sign up for digital mass surveillance.

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.

Second year in a row the halftime show pissed off a pedophile

Amber Glenn, a queer Texan who started ice skating at the stonebriar mall in frisco at age 5, who plays magic the gathering, is an olympic gold medalist

does anyone else remember when the 2022 Super Bowl had so many crypto ads people were calling it the Crypto Bowl and then crypto just absolutely fucking tanked? anyway

alexa ai ad: we'll fucking kill you lmao

"It looks like Mr. Beast is Torment Nexus-ing Ready Player One" is a sentence I just said aloud.

The people working on AI/agent ad campaigns just do not know how to read a room, do they

Just had a Super Bowl halftime where the singer: 1) boasts about the poor place he’s from; 2) boosts the value of agriculture; 3) celebrates small town life; 4) highlights the joy of inter-generational celebrations; and 5) promotes marriage. And tomorrow, the MAGA movement will attack it.

there's been a lot of talk about WHO BB gave his grammy to, but i also think it was another explicit political message layered the performance; on the TV playing for all of us to remember and recall, is the grammy speech where he said "ICE OUT" -- he was saying it again, without saying it.

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.

This song is about gentrification and overtourism. Ricky was singing about how Bad Bunny doesn't want what happened to Hawaii to take place in Puerto Rico.

fuck this Ring commercial hiding fascism behind dogs

The nice commercial about helping kids find their lost pets was the scariest thing I've seen in my life

Like Kendrick, political as hell precisely because it doesn't bother to acknowledge the haters. They're irrelevant, beneath attention. And nothing is more intolerable to fascists than the thought that their enemies are cool, enjoying themselves, and not thinking about them.

Hey this is really fun! It's almost as though multiliguistic multiculturalism is one of the best parts about living in the world today

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

time to remind everybody that the Super Bowl halftime show only exists in this grandiose fashion because a tv show called "In Living Color" stole the ratings from the NFL; the execs notoriously said, "get me Michael Jackson's agent" and thus began all the pomp www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

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

Gift shop in the Minneapolis airport is selling "ICE OUT of St. Paul" posters next to cute onesies and fridge magnets.

In case anyone forgot or didn't understand the reference www.wgbh.org/news/2017-10...

What can you do with a history degree?

The NFL going "you know man I'm not sure everyone is a deep, profound cultural conservative again, maybe we should just take a beat for a minute and let it play out" is unfortunately why they are the best at this stuff

Yeah the ad placement right after the high of the halftime show felt just like everything right now — no escape from the grinding disrespect, disdain, and hatred.
