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.”

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

If any of these right wing pigeons believed their "We the People" tattoos and window stickers they'd understand that authority stems from the citizens, therefore all agents of the government owe the people a certain degree of transparency and accountability.

My friends, we are in a serious constitutional crisis. The government is racially profiling, suppessing free speech, killing our own people in the streets— and lying about every fact along the way. If we don’t use our natural talents and voices to say “no,” then what’s the point of law at all?

I am once again going to note that the voices saying a shooting was justified because Pretti had a gun, are the very same voices that have been yelling to expand open-carry and concealed-carry laws in places like Minnesota, and fight any encroachment on the 2nd Amendment.

Amid ICE clashes, New Hampshire bishop urges clergy to prepare their wills
The Episcopal bishop of New Hampshire told priests protesting ICE to get their wills and affairs in order. Some praise the bishop, while other priests say they never signed up to be martyrs.

Let's stop pretending this is like the invasion of Iraq. At least then, some silly reason was presented at the UN to gain consensus. With Venezuela we just blatantly ignored the rules-based international order. We might as well start calling the UN the 2nd League of Nations.

I have a theory: Everyone has at least one Christmas song they absolutely despise. Everyone, no matter how much you hate Christmas music, has one Christmas song that they absolutely love. If you ever meet the person whose choices are the inverse of you, it's like Highlander.
