I think this is right (and what I was trying to get to re "community" before). Will be a lot of ink spilled about whether/how the performance was political, but I think this was *the* brilliant, and of course political, decision.
Bad Bunny's halftime show was regular, everyday people having a great time. English or not, the message feels loud and clear. Merely depicting people as having normal, relatable lives feels radical.

We are ending with a pretty explicitly political moment as Bad Bunny literally shouted out many Latino nations while declaring their place in the Americas

Yes! Such a happy performance - I love it
And what a wonderful expression of community - it's really so joyous
Ok the stagecraft of that first sequence was just amazing

Lee Hamilton was a model for how to live life to the fullest. He cared deeply about his state, his university, the country, and the world; he made all better during his 94 years. I had the tremendous honor of getting to know & learn from Lee. His legacy lives on at the Hamilton Lugar School & beyond

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.
Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.
Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.
With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.
Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

J Street has directly and intentionally aligned their work with the anti-authoritarian protests growing in America. It is a model for how those concerned with arms control and national security issues should merge their efforts with this powerful movement.

A Torah portion about darkness and light.
This op-ed connects Jewish memory, moral courage and the urgent need to resist state violence. Worth your time. Worth sharing.

I'm a rabbi arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. The Book of Exodus shows us how this ends
Amid Minneapolis ICE protests, nearly 100 clergy members were arrested. One rabbi among them sees a deep biblical precedent for this time.

Ironic isn’t it? Had an ICE thug been hurt at the very same location 5 minutes earlier, Alex would have dropped everything to save his life.

struck by how much places that do not usually do political journalism have stepped up in this time.
Since @peoplemag.bsky.social is doing such a good job covering this with honesty & the humanity it deserves in spite of this vengeful regime trying to snuff it out, here’s the links to their articles. Give them all the clicks—they earned it.

As numerous people have pointed out, it really does seem like prominent members of the right can't imagine collective action in the absence of massive billionaire subsidies.
James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

After 15 days, county medical examiner classifies Renee Good’s death as ‘homicide’
Homicide means the death came at the hands of another person and does not necessarily mean the person died from a criminal act.

Tell that to the families of 850 soldiers from 19 non-US NATO countries who died fighting to defend the United States in Afghanistan - the only occasion Article 5 was ever triggered.

It's cool that these guys just use pepper spray casually now, against people who are wholly within their rights, without a moment's hesitation. Several shots of them using it as they climb into their cars and drive away, not even a pretense of urgency or need. Just a parting "fuck you" to them.
This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.
