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.

The funny thing about that show? Not a word of it was in English, but it was one of the more patriotic halftime shows I’ve seen.

I’ve quit telling people that I disagree with them. Instead, I now say, “I’m gonna have to agree with myself on this one.” It’s self-positive, non-confrontational, and just weird enough to end the conversation.

Yeah but maybe don't impeach & remove until 2029.
You mean the man who was established as revoltingly sexually harassing a brilliant legal mind but Biden and many many others facilitated his rise to extraordinary power and to one of the US’ most notorious stories of corruption anyway?
That guy?
No shit?

Have reviewed thousands of documents from the Epstein Files.
I have located one and only one Black child rapist, a sole Black child abuser,
amidst the entire avalanche of disgustingness:
Justice Clarence Thomas.
Zero surprise there. Gross.

This is some thoroughly racist bullshit - though thoroughly unshocking from the IOC.
I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.
The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

Republicans are in here cosplaying as protectors of women and children, but they were silent when Renee Good was killed, willingly voted to cut SNAP, and are now sitting by as ICE rips children away from their families.
Miss me with the selective outrage.

Democrats should be the ultimate champions of immigration. “We won two world wars and invented the internet because immigrants get the job done.”
Instead they’ve squandered decades chasing the gop on “border security” shit.

This could be the unified Dem position. It is wildly popular. Puts the regime on defense on two fronts at the same time. Good policy, good politics.
The Congressional Progressive Caucus, a group of nearly 100 House Democrats, will announce later today that it's formally endorsing legislation to strip $175 billion from ICE and put it toward affordable housing. www.huffpost.com/entry/doj-fe...

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

Fuck Target. Stopped shopping there when they caved on DEI, but all the more reason now.
From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.
