This is a great piece by my colleague spencer on the bad bunny helftimeshow but of course there’s never been a more divisive idea in American history than all of us being American, we fought a civil war over it and Trump is nothing if not manifest opposition to it www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...
‘Together, We Are America’
Bad Bunny’s critics said his Super Bowl halftime show would be divisive. They were totally wrong.

My BIL is a veteran who did two tours during Iraq & Afghanistan. He has PTSD. He is brown and lives in MSP. He gets telehealth therapy from the VA. And his job is allowing him to work from home so this two tour Navy vet with PTSD doesn't accidentally get shot by the Gestapo. Anyway.
Everything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began.

Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.

Closed Amazon account and chat gpt account. I kept Amazon idk why, but I’m officially done. I can’t give a fascist money. I had a paid chatGPT account because I use it for work and school but it’s not worth feeling dirty.

Our initial analysis is up.

The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot.

He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.
Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

So it's legal to carry a gun for self-protection, but if ICE catch you legally carrying a gun for self-protection, they kill you?

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street
Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara says that the victim was a 37-year-old white man and US citizen with no criminal record and that he was a legally permitted gun owner.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.

This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

Some dude was on NBC with Willie Geist saying if you don’t like country music it’s like saying you don’t like bread. He’s obviously a country star. But idk because I don’t care for country music, never have. I grew up with my dad listening to blue grass as he was born but not raised in Kentucky.

I hope they are looking to straighten out the USA and put them in their place. It’s what they should do!

We must continue the work to abolish ICE.

But right now, Congress can stop ICE’s violent reign of terror. Tell them to do it today: (202) 224-3121

So I need a new hotel chain that will give me rewards. I travel for work and the only thing that makes being away from home 2 weeks out of each month, was I earned my vacations each year. At least 2 weeks in hotels a year. I’m platinum with both Hilton and Marriott, do hotel chains match benefits?
