This is possibly the most fun the superbowl has ever sounded. Not the football part, obviously.
Q: What time is kickoff?

A: The Bad Bunny concert kicks off around 8:00 or 8:30 p.m., but there will be pre-concert entertainment starting at 6:30 p.m. from one group called the “New England Patriots” and another called the “Seattle Seahawks.”

Someone writes to tell me I need "[more] attention headlines like BTC"

You can get 'BREAKING: Trump's SECRET Plan EXPOSED' from an endless sea of engagement farmers. I write for those who want accurate information and practical guidance, not emotional manipulation dressed up as analysis.

Not vaccinating children who are medically eligible for vaccine protection is child abuse. Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo is a eugenicist child abuser.
The first time I remember praying for death I was 7 or 8 years old. The nuns said to offer my suffering up to Jesus. I had Crohn’s disease. Pediatric treatments existed, I never got them

Part 1 of a series on why “parental choice” framing on vaccines is dead wrong

In 15 years of practicing law, I've never seen a federal judge do what Judge Fred Biery did today. Under his signature: a photo of the 5-year-old child ICE abducted. Then two Bible verses. The good faith is gone.

For the 40th anniversary, I interviewed six Black journalists who covered it in some capacity. BTW, the PPD dropped the bømb from a PA state helicopter.

hearing that the state and capital might be interlinked, has anyone looked into this before
Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores.

TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti.

Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret.

Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

I don't think there are good arguments against this position
legislators should be staging sit-ins, they should not leave the fucking chambers until there are votes on impeachment. make your colleagues defend this piece of shit on the record. show history what you fucking did in this moment you god damned cowards

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed.

Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.
NEW: DHS appropriations bill funding ICE passes 220-207

7 Democrats voted YES on the bill:
- Jared Golden
- Marie Gluesenkamp Perez
- Henry Cuellar
- Tom Suozzi
- Laura Gillen
- Don Davis
- Vicente Gonzalez

One Republican voted NO: Thomas Massie

And while we’re at it, ask yourself why your favorite liberal commentator or personality is condemning ICE but never venturing to criticize Democrats and leaders who aren’t using their power to stop them and ask yourself if there’s a financial reason for it.

It's a two man con. It took me too long to figure it out.
Republicans serve the openly antidemocratic rich and express the rabid need to bring people to submission through gleeful brutality.

Democrats serve the rich who want to maintain a semblance of decorum and civility while their pursuit of more wealth and power necessitates creeping fascism.

This is the reality of means-testing and work requirements. Even those on the left can fall for this stuff and ignore the costs. To end this madness, we need to go universal. No more means-testing or conditions. Universal basic income, healthcare, and education. And tax the rich more than they get.
I will simply never recover from reading this sentence:

"Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."
Today, Luke Farrell (@lukef.bsky.social) explains how complex eligibility requirements have turned America’s safety net into a lucrative revenue stream for monopolistic private contractors.

Not surprised, still very frustrating.
Disappointing to see some of these attitudes from university staff in the report from @disabledstudentsuk.bsky.social ...again.

I read stuff like this & I want to ask them if they’ve gathered up all of the pairs of eyeglasses the students in their class wear. Unless everyone has a pair, it’s not fair to the other students, right?

A good start. I'd add, 1: hedge funds/private equity need to go. Any company that buys a company just to strip it for parts, is a company that should not exist. 2: Healthcare, medical anything, cannot be for profit. Community services absolutely must be funded & given preferential treatment over 1/?
Dems need an easy to read plan. • Create jobs, both in the private sector and, but public too, like bringing back the WPA, CCC. • Pilot and launch a UBI. • Implement a public option for healthcare; let people buy into Medicare or Medicaid. • Pass a large anti-corruption bill. • Ban Gerrymandering.

Tax the rich. Tax corporations. Trickle down doesn't work, giving corporations tax breaks doesn't make anything better. Bring in universal basic income, universal Healthcare where it isn't available already, let people work part time and survive. Let people live their lives and thrive

It isn't enough for Pope Leo to declare J.D. Vance to have incurred latae sententiae excommunication

Pope Leo XIV should place the entire United States under papal interdict.

Yes, I know, the 1983 Code of Canon Law abolished territorial interdicts. Leo can simply bring them back.
