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.”

One year into RFK Jr.’s tenure, and the results are clear: our public health system is weaker, Americans are less safe and less healthy, and science has been pushed aside. He must be impeached.

RFK Jr. and Mike Tyson want you to believe that MAHA is just about eating healthier.
But in reality, MAHA has been focused on firing the food and medical research experts who actually make America healthy.

If another elected Democrat tweets about how ICE is going to be at the polls intimidating people, the next sentence better be, "and here's what we're planning to do about it." And please stop bringing a rulebook to a knife fight. This isn't 2015.

Rep. Raskin: "Releasing the names of a lot of victims is either spectacular incompetence and sloppiness on [DOJ's] part or, as a lot of the survivors believe, a deliberate threat to other survivors who are thinking about coming forward."

Confirmed: Todd Blanche Locked Ghislaine Maxwell into a False Story, Then Rewarded Her - emptywheel
The only reason why Ghislaine Maxwell would refuse to tell even the false claims she made with Todd Blanche adds to the evidence that Blanche was doing no more than locking her into a false story.

Now we learned that they were in business together.
He has no business being our Commerce Secretary.
He should resign.

For an attorney to resort to extortion to clear his client isn't ideal.
For an attorney to undertake that extortion expressly and in a public is incredibly stupid.
