This was my lived experience at an office the next day. A lot of dudes sounding confused about the halftime show and asking each other if they watched Kid Rock.
Whereas the ladies in the office were talking about what they would do with Bad Bunny and some ropes to keep him from leaving.

Obama: "The rogue behavior of agents of the federal government is deeply concerning and dangerous ... the sort of behavior that we've seen in authoritarian countries and we've seen in dictatorships, but we have not seen in America."

ICE raided a church in Union City on Sunday, a clear violation of New Jersey's Safe Communities Act.

Zany as it may sound, Germany is bidding on the 2036 Olympics, which would mark the 100-year anniversary of the "Nazi Games" overseen by Hitler & Goebbels (and in the very same stadium no less). The anti-Olympics group @nolympiaberlin.bsky.social is organizing against it.

There are multiple levels of tragedy to this.
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

The Bad Bunny Super Bowl show nodded to injustices in Puerto Rico but mostly evoked wholesome family values that meshed with the more sentimental commercials.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

And the founders also never really envisioned a system like industrial and post-industrial capitalism that would be *fundamentally at odds* with their vision of a democratic republic.
Which is why capitalism must be dismantled.
