Talk to your students, they aren’t using the typical sportsbooks we see the league’s advertising. Prediction markets are they go to, because they don’t have to be 21 to place a bet, sorry I meant “prediction.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/767...

It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...

Literally, the reason why Bad Bunny did not tour in the U.S. One might argue that performing at the Super Bowl is the same, but I ask: Is ICE targeting people who can afford to pay the $6,000 fee to attend? Idk But yes, this is 100% happening at the World Cup games. Another reason to boycott!

The racism is so strong among one-third of Americans that they are fine with ICE executing white U.S. citizens as long as non-whites and non-citizens are hunted in the streets.

nine years old
“I am Puerto Rican,” she says. “I send my kids with their passports to school. I’m having conversations with them about safety: Am I safe at school? A week ago we had an incident where there was a school bus with the STOP sign open and kids were getting on the bus and it was surrounded by ICE agents. And this is 7:20 in the morning and — just — you get that fight-or-flight response.” At first her 9-year-old was carrying her passport in her backpack; now it’s in her back pocket. “I have to prepare them for it if they get stopped,” she says. “I said, Do not engage. This is not the time to be cussing at anyone. But she said, Mom, if I create enough noise, my friends can get away.”
