In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican.

Trump-MAGA rage at Bad Bunny is actually driven by anger at multiracial solidarity. On the pod, @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social nails it on how this demented MAGA fury captures why Trump's gains with the nonwhite working class in 2024 have now completely collapsed:

Across our activation research, we've found it's not how much you dislike MAGA but rather whether you see their actions as rupture that indicate if you're willing to step up and change your own actions in response. Some positive movement:

You do not understand vaccine hesitancy until you understand this:

Under normal circumstances, diseases vaccines prevent almost exclusively kill in a eugenic fashion. It is people with damaged immune systems and existing health ailments.

They're not against vaccines when math turns against them.
Oh so now we believe in vaccines??

China will "permanently eliminate the Stanley Cup."
Behold the predictive insights of our mad king, who convinced a healthy third of American adults to vote for his leadership. This moron is not only walking erect and jabbering at the world, he's doing it in the name of the United States of America.
Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."

Liberal patriotism is the most effective way to fight fascism.

This is why Megyn Kelly is in a frothing rage about it.

A liberalism expanded into a complete philosophy is the only way to banish reactionary extremism for decades.

We win when we think clearly, love freely, and laugh easily.
Megyn Kelly just shouting “FOOTBALL IS OURS” at Piers Morgan about Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show is the perfect example of this moment in time. Put it in a time capsule and send it out into space.

I will be honest: we are not talking nearly enough about the downstream effects of these ICE and CBP deployments.

For example: landlords and debt collectors file more aggressive collection and eviction suits with dubious (or no) factual bases, knowing that the defendants won't go to the courthouse.

The commercial wasn’t the work of the Trump admin—or even a political candidate or a well-known advocacy organization. The pro-ICE advertisement was placed by a group called American Sovereignty, which is brand new, seems to be a nonprofit or political entity, & has almost no public presence...
Who paid for the Super Bowl ICE ad?
The group behind Sunday's bizarre commercial has a sparse paper trail.

In response, Fulton County officials sued the federal government to get them back

The people who support mass deportation policies never cared about whether people have "criminal records," and I caution people who want to stop mass deportations that they should not focus on the "criminal records" either.
