NEW: Youth sports is now costing parents as much as $25,000 a year.
Private equity and corporations are turning a childhood pastime into something only the wealthy can afford.
Youth sports has become a $40 billion industry, and the steep costs are crushing American families.
Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.
How did Lucy end up back with that one guy? What was the point of her curling iron burn? Did Lydia’s brother get away with raping girls? How did Stephen and Lydia get together? What was Bree and Alex’s childhood like? No justice for Macy? Professor never gets caught? #TellMeLies
If Bad Bunny’s performance moved you, don’t scroll past this. US sanctions are making daily life in Cuba harder for ordinary people. Hospitals struggle to get supplies, families struggle to find food, and shortages shape everyday life. If you care about what America stands for, this deserves your attention too.
If you were cheering during halftime, carry that attention here. Policies that are meant to pressure governments often end up pressuring people first. In Cuba, that means limited medicine, scarce groceries, and constant strain. Caring about 🇺🇸 should include caring about the impact of its actions beyond its borders.
Looking at what’s happening in Cuba takes intention, and the reality is that sanctions affect the lives of millions who have no control over political decisions. If you say you value justice and dignity, this is part of that conversation.
Mi completa solidaridad a mis hermanos en Cuba 🇨🇺
republicans claiming he would use the stage to make an anti-american political statement just for the entire performance to be a celebration of life and culture and family oh bad bunny they could never make me hate you

Rachel Maddow on Venezuela: “There are very few Americans right now who have any idea why the United States did this. If this was about drug trafficking then why did President Trump just pardon the former President of Honduras who was convicted of sending hundreds of tons of drugs into the US?”
