Bad Bunny’s halftime show was the best part of the Super Bowl game. Maybe they needed some snow or something to add drama.

You have to not despair, you have to keep hope alive, but you can't just hope and turn away so that you don't risk despair. Don't drown to prove you know the tide is rising; but also face how dire things are head on, and things are pretty dire and it's okay to say so. It is still change.

Trump has been espousing racist foolishness for decades, even as a presidential candidate and president. Stop with the pearl clutching over monkey images, and ask why this vile behavior has been tolerated and left unchecked for so long.

So far it seems like the mainstream media is mostly ignoring Trump posting a video of the Obamas as apes

Happening now on #NABJ’s YouTube & Facebook channels! Members of many #journalism & #freepress organizations, including the Center for Journalism & Democracy, joined NABJ when they spoke out against the arrest of Don Lemon & Georgia Fort, two journalists who were covering a protest in MN.

A great, on the ground report on the resolve of Minnesotans by @adamserwer.bsky.social, with photography by @jackcalifano.bsky.social.
If you have not yet read @adamserwer.bsky.social on Minnesotans' heroics, you are going to feel way better when you do. He went there. He talked to the people doing the work. Then he thought about it and produced something rare. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0... [gift link]

Period.
It’s easy to be cynical about the media but entire GENERATIONS of mostly not-famous journalists at places like CBS and the WaPo spent their whole careers doing the work that created the credibility those places had which made them important enough for self-serving billionaires to decide to ruin them
