This is dumb obviously but it is true that "the only thing more powerful than hate is love" shouldn't be a provocative political statement, but it is in America in 2026.
Analysis: Weeks before he set foot on the stage, Bad Bunny’s halftime performance had already become a media event.

But if you were looking for political commentary, the closest that you got was when he said “God bless America” in English.
Analysis | Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show was expected to provoke. Did it?
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.

Whitney Cummings is on the record as saying it is not a comedian's job to be funny so I think we can safely ignore her other opinions

Boasting about IQ is roughly on par with boasting about your SAT scores anytime after graduating high school, i.e. it's only something done by the biggest losers with nothing to contribute.
What is it about white nationalists that makes them obsessed with IQ, and “high IQ”? Clark was like that too. Always talking about how he was “five standard deviations above the norm” in IQ. We used to laugh at him behind his back about it.
Whistles are now WMDs, according to the "high IQ" crowd.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Either activate the guard to protect your people against the fascist invaders (not the other way around) or retire early. Asking Trump to be nice is less than useless.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

The difference is that Schumer and other senior dems talk about affordability because it's poll tested and a good way of deflecting from talking about ICE while Mamdani actually cares about affordability
January 22, 2026 at 12:04 PM
Every mainline dem uses a vague notion of affordability to avoid talking about ICE terrorizing Minnesota, meanwhile this guy half of them wouldn't endorse is just rolling out concrete affordable actions left and right AND he understands Abolish ICE is the only moral position

Not a great look for your paramilitary force with more money than most actual militaries to be consistently outmaneuvered by a midsized town of regular people whose biggest exertions at this time of year are shoveling the driveway and yelling at the Vikings
Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino said well-organized protesters in Minnseota make the ICE operation harder.

"They've got some excellent communications," Bovino said.

It’s really hard to bear the contrast on my TL of regular ass Minnesotans doing some of the bravest shit I’ve ever seen in the face of state sponsored terror followed by a deep blue state senator posting: “errrm how does taking Greenland help lower the price of groceries?”

This is why modern day Minneapolis does not fit into these peoples' worldview. They literally can't fathom a largely white city in an overwhelmingly white state being happy to live near and mutually benefit from people from very different parts of the world.
I always think back to when Republicans shipped a bunch of migrants to Martha's Vineyard ("let's see how those snooty liberals like brown foreigners when they're on THEIR doorstep") and seemed genuinely flabbergasted that the locals took them in, found them beds and food and even a priest.
I think it is difficult for lefties -- ok, has been difficult for me -- to really, truly absorb, on an affective level, that people like this are not mistaken about the facts. They're not confused. There's no "false consciousness" waiting for liberation. Their zero-sum values are deep & sincere.

The Trump administration is the most aggressively online regime in history but it's also made up of morons in their mid-50s, so it's not surprising that they mess up the most basic internet terms that are second nature to anyone under 40
BRENNAN: Tell me about the officer, Jonathan Ross

KRISTI NOEM: Don't say his name! I mean, for heaven's sake, we shouldn't have people continue to dox law enforcement

This is probably the closest to the median MN guy assessing the situation honestly. Not from the city, doesn't care about politics, not particularly nice, but sees the invasion for what it is

A week ago I think I knew maybe 3 parents at my kid’s preschool, and now I know almost all of them, and have steeled myself to give my life for their kids and their teachers if I need to.

Most right wing justifications of Renee Good's murder have nothing to do with an attempt to show she was putting the murderer in danger. They're explicitly about a gendered sense of entitlement, some sense that she's condescending to them by existing and not grovelling.
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"

Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

I was idly scrolling during an after school tutoring session today. There were only five kids, mostly doing their own thing, but I think one of them noticed me tear up when i came across this video. Dorky Minnesota kids, wearing T-shirts in the winter, being themselves and doing the right thing.
Students at Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis are walking out to protest ICE days after a clash between U.S. Border Patrol agents and protesters at the school.

Things are shifting. A guy I met in grad school and friended on FB about 13 years ago, who I have not heard from since then and who is dead silent on social media, just posted RATM lyrics.

Like those before it, that insane, vile DHS statement about the Minneapolis shooting isn't about covering anything up. It's performative lying.

They aren't trying to persuade anyone that their agents did nothing wrong. They're trying to project that their agents can get away with anything.
