I genuinely feel really sad for anyone who could watch that show and not feel joy or inspiration about not only how beautiful Puerto Rican culture is (the music omg) but just the beauty of seeing people in joy together. If your response is “ew” or “no” then that really sucks for you.

That halftime was exactly right for this moment it stayed true to the artist and his art but met this broad audience where it is - in need of a lesson on Puerto Rico and the existence of a world beyond “Latino”

If you want a sense of how dire the situation is in Cuba now, here is a list of the measures the Cuban president says the nation has started taking to try to keep people in nursing homes and hospitals alive while Trump & Rubio choke the island of essentials, which the Cuban gov't is now referring...
the Cuban government is now referring to a "genocidal blockade" -- which is absolutely will be if it is allowed to persist. Cuba is not at war with anybody yet we are starving them...because why? Because Marco Rubio wants to? From the office of the Cuban presidency: This Friday, measures adopted by the country’s leadership were announced in response to the nation’s current situation, amid the intensification of the #GenocidalBlockade. ⚡| Energy Sector •Prioritize available fuel for essential services: public health, water supply, food production, defense, and hard-currency-generating activities. •Continue and accelerate the installation programs for solar photovoltaic parks and solar modules for households. •Speed up the delivery and installation of solar modules sold to Health and Education workers. •Install 5,000 solar modules in isolated homes and plan an additional 5,000 for social centers (nursing homes, children’s homes). •Expand incentives for the installation of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in companies and households. •Concentrate core administrative activities from Monday to Thursday. •Adjust fuel sales to the public until the situation normalizes. •Continue developing domestic oil production. 🚚| Transport Sector •Ensure fuel for port and airport operations, imports/exports, and the transport of vital cargo (food, fuel, medical supplies). •Reduce the Nueva Gerona–Batabanó ferry frequency to two trips per week (Tuesdays and Saturdays). •Extend the frequency of national passenger trains to once every 8 days (starting February 8). Temporarily suspend other rail services. •Reduce national bus departures, maintaining a basic daily service from Havana. Suspend the waiting list service. •Offer full refunds within 30 days for tickets for canceled services (rail or maritime). •Maintain guaranteed Medibus services (for patients) and transportation for students and teaching staff. •Reorganize local public transportation according to fuel availability in each territory. •In Havana, establish a new transportation service specifically for Health personnel. •Strengthen the electric mobility strategy: install solar charging stations and distribute electric vehicles. 👩‍🏫| Education Sector (General Education) •Prioritize early childhood: maintain the operation of daycare •Prioritize early childhood: maintain the operation of daycare centers (possibly with reduced hours). •Maintain in-person classes in Primary Education with flexible schedules, allowing early dismissal due to transportation needs. •For Lower Secondary, Pre-University, and Technical Education: •Implement blended-learning or condensed schedules (by days or subject blocks), decided locally. •Give special attention to grades marking the start and end of cycles (e.g., 7th and 9th grade, 12th grade). •Temporarily redistribute enrollment from some IPVCE schools to urban pre-university schools. •For students in the final years of technical/pedagogical programs, shift to a training model in schools near their homes, with periodic in-person sessions. •Resume and adapt the “essential content” experience used during COVID-19. •Accelerate the delivery of solar panels to teachers. 👨🏾‍🏫| Higher Education Sector •General transition to blended learning, adapted by degree program and university. •Transport students back to their provinces of origin. •Support teaching activities through institutions in the student’s territory (CUM, branch campuses, workplaces). •Strengthen faculty in municipalities by relocating professors from central campuses. •Use telework as the main modality, with limited ICT support due to the energy situation. •Prioritize strategic research and development projects remotely. •Ensure completion of studies (final exams, thesis defenses) for students close to graduation. •Reorganize the admissions process for Higher Education. •Postpone the “University 2026” event. 👩🏿‍💻| Labor and Social Security Sector •Issue no new labor regulations, applying existing contingency rules. •Promote telework and remote work modalities. •Adjust work schedules according to the needs of each workforce. •Reassign workers to key economic activities or areas of social interest. •If necessary, apply temporary work interruption with guaranteed pay equivalent to the basic salary during the first month. 🚜| Food and Water Sector •Increase food production at the territorial level, prioritizing productive hubs with the greatest potential. •Promote alliances among all forms of productive management (state and non-state) to address commercialization and prices. •Use Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in food production. •Allocate fuel to guarantee essential water pumping. •Concentrate industry on producing and supplying chemical products for water treatment.

This — seriously

Yes: one of the things that has kept protests peaceful is that the insider/outsider dynamic was so pronounced. The feds were invaders; local and state police were separate and not really against us.

What we’ve seen in the last couple days feels like the sheriff and state patrol switching sides.

Friends in Minneapolis are very worried about this development. Both in terms of state police's role in arresting protestors and the worry that this could set off the kind of spiral of distrust and destruction that followed George Floyd's murder.

Ron DeSantis giving away hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer property to billionaires in return for being invited to become a member of Augusta National Is as Republican as anything gets (Feb. 6 La Gaceta)
"No, you f#||||||# up, man." People are whispering that DeSantis, in giving away the HC campus, is trying to make up for screwing them on Ono. We hear he especially wants to have Ridley as his friend. Ridley is the chairman of the Augusta National Golf Club. People tell us that DeSantis wants access to this exclusive Augusta group.

This is a very, very bad decision from one of the two Reagan judges left on the Fifth Circuit, joined by one of the two most extreme Trump appointees on the court.

And, it is about the issue I walked through at Law Dork earlier this week, in the context of Minnesota: www.lawdork.com/i/186796727/...
Law Dork DHS’s unilateral change on mandatory detention Like senior DHS officials unilaterally decided in May 2025 that ICE was going to change its interpretation of the Fourth Amendment when it comes to entering private residences when trying to arrest people for deportation, DHS and the Justice Department announced internally on July 8, 2025, that the executive branch unilaterally decided — “revisited its legal position“ — about how a key aspect of immigration enforcement works. In short, the administration decided that anyone in the country who was never legally admitted to the country is subject to a section of law that requires mandatory detention, as opposed to a different section of law that allows release and requires bond hearings. Here’s the problem with that: Virtually everyone thinks they’re wrong, for many reasons.

An armed protest called for tomorrow in Minneapolis is being labeled a “fed honeypot”: www.reddit.com/r/Minneapoli...

Site hosting the demo now says it will be rescheduled due to Renee Good anniversary + “two Proud Boys marches.” 2004 archive snapshot of site is seeped in post-9/11 praise for FBI.
r/Minneapolis & u/KnudRagnarson • 3h HONEY POT Armed Protest Tomorrow DO NOT GO Today on r/liberalgunowners someone shared a link to this website https://acatusa.com/about an armed protest tomorrow 2/7 from the spot of Rene Goods shooting to Alex Pretti. This event is not partnered with any gun orgs in the state nor is it tied to any other orgs doing protests. user u/Given_to_the_rising pointed out in a comment that "..Let's look at the domain in the Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/ 20210801000000*/https://www.acatusa.com/ Anti-terrorism blog, Chinese page, forwarded to the FBI site, now it's suddenly "bring out your government IDs to a protest in Minneapolis." The domain has been doing the FBI's bidding for over 20 years. This protest is a fed honeypot." Others on both r/liberalgunowners and r/MnGuns have pointed out that requiring protesters to ID themselves to the organizers is also a huge red flag. If you or anyone you know has heard about this and have been considering attending DO NOT GO! THIS IS A FED HONEY POT TO ID THOSE WHO ARE ARMED AND VOCAL AGAISNT THE FEDERAL GOVERMENT Changes to the ACAT protest! WE HEAR YOU! WE WILL BE RESCHEDULING THE 2/7 PROTEST!!!!! Over the last 24 hours, we have received numerous messages from community members asking that the protest be rescheduled out of respect for the anniversary of Renee Good. After careful consideration, we have decided to do so. This decision is also influenced by the fact that two Proud Boy marches are planned for tomorrow. When organizing an armed protest, it is critical that the environment supports a peaceful, focused, and safe action for everyone involved. At this time, we do not believe those conditions can be met. We remain fully committed to this movement and will | move forward at a later date. However, we believe it is important to honor the wishes of the community and the Renee Good memorial, and to minimize the risk of bad actors disrupting our efforts. For those who still wish to be active in the community, we encourage you to attend the Renee Good memorial at Powderhorn Park. Please note: there will be no firearms allowed at this memorial. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We will share a new date for the protest as soon as one is confirmed. In solidarity, ACAT USA wayback screenshot from december 2004 where the site is called “american citizens against terrorism.” To our police, firefighters, CIA and FBI we support you and we thank you for your long hours of labor. We are here to support your efforts, as we ask our fellow Americans to join us as we begin our efforts to find any and all who support terror. A.C.A. T. is an American Citizen's awareness group, whose purpose is to unite together during these difficult times, as we develop neighborhood watch groups, community watch groups throughout each state and to notify local authorities in the event we see any unusual activity which may be connected in any way to terrorism. MISSION: In our early stages our one mission is to bring to the forefront pictures identifying the most wanted terrorists. We are asking American Citizens to assist as we post these most wanted pictures on every bulletin board in offices, in windows of restaurants, gas stations, subways and every public place. Should you recognize anyone on this list or may know their whereabouts, please click on the "your local FBI office" and contact the FBI immediately To those who support Terrorism...WE DO NOT WANT YOU IN OUR COUNTRY...We will make every effort to find you and you will be brought to justice. "Our Father in Heaven, we pray that you bless our efforts. Keep us from Evil and protect our children during these times. We pray for inner peace. In Jesus name we pray. AMEN" To the families and friends who have lost loved ones on Sept 11 our hearts go out to you, as we have mourned along with you of your loss. To our military all over the world, and especially in Iraq we are with you in heart and spirit, as we pray for your safety. WE honor those who have lost their lives in defending our Nation. Our hearts go out to their friends and family as we know their loss will not be in vain. P.O. Box 414 • Dover, NH 03821
