Can anyone recommend a really excellent analysis of Kendrick Lamar's messaging in the Super Bowl? I want to bring into conversation about race this week in class. There are a ton of articles out there but I'd love one that centers Black folks' analysis and reactions.

Trump issued 10 executive orders directly related to immigration yesterday. I don't know about you, but my brain works better when I can sit down and read them carefully on paper. I cleaned up the EOs so that they are more structured + provided PDFs: drive.google.com/drive/folder...
