Who Paid for the Super Bowl ICE Ad? – Mother Jones

Someone created a group (a nonprofit, a political action committee, or something similar) with basically no public presence except for a bland website and a few tweets. It has launched millions in pro-ICE ads, and, at least so far, no one behind the venture has been willing to talk about it.

 Ideally, in a democracy, we'd know who is spending millions trying to change public opinion on the secret police. But, in the American system, that's just not how it works...

Rand Paul hopes 'Freedom Convoy' truckers disrupt Super Bowl, State of the Union in D.C. - The Washington Post

…The senator's mention of slavery in his support of the truckers was met with blowback from Charles Booker, a Democratic candidate for Paul's Senate seat, who called the Republican's words "destructive, intentional and completely unacceptable." "Rand Paul called slavery a time-honored tradition," tweeted Booker, who is Black. "My enslaved ancestors would strongly disagree."…

MAGA Extremists Slam the Upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show as ‘Satanic’

…With Stop-the-Steal fanatics like Arizona wingnut Wendy Rogers hyperventilating that the Super Bowl show exposes children to "evil, wicked, Satanic" things (her words), there's a very real "performance-related Satanic Panic that's been brewing for a little while now in the U.S.," Weill says, adding that the same fears bubbled up after the deadly Travis Scott concert at Astroworld in December. Of course it's not hard to map the influence of QAnon onto the latest anti-Super Bowl crusade, nor the longstanding backlash from the right when Black artists perform at the halftime show (like when Beyonce's backup dancers were criticized as supposed Trojan horses for Communism)…

One In Four Americans Believe God Decides Outcome Of Sporting Events, Study Says

Football is played by opposing teams of 11 men lined up against each other on a field, but it is widely acknowledged that outcomes can be decided by intangible elements. The average football broadcast contains several references to things like hustle, determination and momentum, for example. But does the sport answer to a higher power? A new study, timed with the imminent Super Bowl, suggested plenty of Americans believe so, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported. ...

The Philadelphia Super Bowl riots expose a racist double standard -- Raw Story

If you thought Lady Gaga’s halftime show was apolitical, consider the origin of ‘This Land is Your Land’

Some, though, argued Gaga included a veiled message with her song choices. Much has been noted of her set’s inclusion of “Born This Way,” “a melodic celebration of ‘gay, straight, or bi, lesbian, transgender life.’” Most, though, seem to think that was her only subversive choice on Sunday.

What many of the commentators may have missed, though, was that Gaga’s decision to sing “This Land Is Your Land” may have been an inherently political statement....
