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

Pop star Bad Bunny needed a Puerto Rican history scholar. UW–Madison had just the one.
Bad Bunny collaborated with UW–Madison history professor Jorell Meléndez-Badillo on Puerto Rican narratives that accompany the new album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.”

"The letter said, “...he ‘advised’ our unit members and their families to join him and his wife and children for a showing of that new documentary called ‘Melania’ at an off-base movie theater... When he said ‘advised’, we know what that meant."
Acive duty military are being ordered to buy a ticket to Melania and watch it, whether they want to, or not. www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/mil...

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Don't put in the newspaper that she is a history buff.
The review of the Smithsonian museums for "improper ideology" is being led by a 35-year old lawyer who has no experience or credentials in history or museum studies.
But one supporter says she is an avid "fan of history."🗃️

She told Trump the Smithsonian needs changing. He’s ordered her to do it.
Who is Lindsey Halligan, the attorney assigned to help remove “improper ideology” from Washington’s most important cultural institution?

Cheney has a point. No one should donate to any Congressional fundraisers until members of Congress start working for us.
We are the ones paying more for groceries, taxes, medicine and gas from their refusal to act in our best interests.

78 years ago today, Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier and became the first black player to play in the MLBs modern era. MAGA would call him a DEI hire. The number 42 has been retired by all MLB teams, with the exception of April 15, when players throughout the MLB wear the number in tribute.

Trump’s Pentagon is erasing Navajo Code Talkers—Indigenous warriors who helped win WWII—from military websites. This isn’t about “efficiency.” It’s about whitewashing history and erasing those who don’t fit his MAGA narrative.
