The emails in my inbox emphasize: nothing, absolutely nothing, has changed. All eyes should still be on Minnesota.
Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Bet it all that McDonald's never happened
Lyons says ICE agents actually "took care" of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos when they detained him, before shipping him off to a horrific Texas ICE facility.
He says ICE officers "comforted him" as they chased his dad, put him in their car to play "his favorite music, then took him to McDonalds."

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

do Gopers realize that studies show higher passport ownership among Democrats
Rep. Johnson: If you have to produce a passport in order to register to vote, we have tens of millions of people in this country that don't have access to passports. Are we going to then waive the passport fee of $150 so it's not an unreasonable poll tax?

Wow - turns out that Bad Bunny worked with @uwmadison.bsky.social Prof. Meléndez-Badillo @jmelendezbadillo.bsky.social on aspects of Puerto Rican history for his show!
Not at all surprised to learn that Bad Bunny has a historical adviser. His halftime show was a reminder that our history and culture are deeply intertwined with the rest of the western hemisphere. We should think of his performance as part of #America250. #SuperBowl
