I can't remember anyone but Trump endorsing a candidate in another country. It's really not the US's business who the people in a country choose.

Trump's endorsement does let us know a candidate is corrupt. I've not seen him endorse anyone internationally who wasn't corrupt.

If any musical acts require advice on integrating Clausewitz or his theory of war into their set, my dms are open
Bad Bunny's historical advisor is an assistant professor at UW-Madison.

Hell of a flex for your tenure file.
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

Shut down all of these concentration camps and provide everyone inside with medical care and US citizenship as reparations, if they want it.
One way concentration camps become zones where law doesn't apply is by neglecting policies & standards that would protect health & provide healthcare. You deny laws & norms & dehumanize your victim.

Two tuberculosis cases detected at Camp East Montana ICE facility
Eighteen cases of COVID-19 were also identified. U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar on Friday visited the 5,000-bed tent facility on the Fort Bliss Army base and said she saw many "chronic issues."

I've been to some countries where people live under military rule or autocracy. And without fail, one of the questions I get when they ask about life in the U.S. is whether it's true that Americans just let homeless people die on the street.
During freezing temperatures in Port Arthur, Texas, a 61-year-old homeless man was found dead in his wheelchair outside a convenience store.

He was wearing a hospital gown and no shoes. Authorities say he had been released from a hospital the previous day.

This is a diseased society.

Last night President Trump raged about young children being exposed to the dancing in the Super Bowl halftime show.
We are in a small community outside Minneapolis and a child arrived to an empty house on Friday. No parents, ice kidnapped them and just leave children to wander alone after school

Someone on Polymarket has just placed a $100k bet that the US will strike Iran today. $4m payout if true.

The conditions he describes inside the facility (which he calls a concentration camp) are in an effort to make people self deport, kill themselves, or die of illness, disease and malnutrition. Those are the only explanations.
Amongst other things, this again highlights the core point about due process. It’s bad enough to be in a “show me your papers” situation, but your precious citizen/non-citizen, “legal”/“illegal” distinctions are meaningless when you can’t prove anything to authorities because they don’t give a shit.

It still seems unreal to me that humans will soon be flying back to the moon! They will be returning to Earth at a speed of 40.000 km/h, the fastest ever reentry of a crewed spacecraft.

This remastered video shows a similar reentry from the #Artemis 1 mission back in 2022 at 9x speed. 🔭🧪

Here’s Some Stupid To Start Your Day
Stage-Managed Outrage! Tiger Beat on the Potomac (thanks Charlie!) ledes with: WAS THERE EVEN A BALL GAME LAST NIGHT? Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show offered America a raucous, heartfelt celebration of Latino culture with a powerful message of unity at its core. And the nation’s commander-in-chief was having none of it. Benito’s way: America watched Puerto Rican superstar Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio swap the overt political messaging of his…

Halftime shows needn't be emblematic of the US and its tensions, unless someone forces that by presenting an alternate vision—and then failing.
Stephen Miller thinks the question of our day is "Who are Americans?" If so, the night's choices were stark: attractive or repellant.
And Miller lost.

Have you noticed how Trump tries to ruin every Super Bowl, the Olympics, and anything else that brings people together with a common interest?

This is not an accident. His power is derived from division, and the last thing he wants to see is Americans finding camaraderie and commonality.

Sunny beat me to the very next statement I was going to make.

The whole performance wasn’t about the triumph of the individual, but the collective effort and joy that that elevates all of us out of oppression.

They literally danced their way through and out of the history of colonialism TOGETHER.
Okay so a thing I LOVED about that is how, whereas so many halftime shows kind of elevate the star above the other dancers/extras—often literally—that was like the exact opposite, he was *with and among* the people around him
