Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”
This is why we need to be telling our stories.

There’s a whole thread of these — letters from detained children who are scared and suffering.

Imagine if the government was forcing children to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day or live on top of a nuclear waste site (things we also do to people via environmental harm). That's what they are doing in terms of killing people. Some will die sooner; some later. But they are all losing life.

Every study shows that being in a jail or prison, no matter how "nice" or whatever, shortens your lifespan. It does. So the government is taking years off the lives of people, including children, when it opts to put them in jail.

Amongst other things, this again highlights the core point about due process. It’s bad enough to be in a “show me your papers” situation, but your precious citizen/non-citizen, “legal”/“illegal” distinctions are meaningless when you can’t prove anything to authorities because they don’t give a shit.

A great thread if you’re interested in knowing some of the symbolism and meaning in the spicy 🌶️ lyrics of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show. This is pretty much the last post in the thread to make it easier for you to just scroll to the top of an intact thread.

Final song was "DtMF" as I YET AGAIN correctly predicted should I go buy a lottery ticket or something???
A song about appreciating the people in your life while you still have them, it resonates on a personal level and calls back to the themes of diaspora

Years ago, a friend asked me why billionaires want MORE money when they could never spend the tiniest fraction of what they have.
My answer is that they want immunity. The immunity to do literally any horrific they want without consequence.
Nothing I've seen since has changed my mind.

If this ICE violence carries on for much longer, more and more people are going to connect it to the violence of everyday policing
ICE is almost like a special pair of glasses that allow white people to see what living in this society has been like for Black people all along

At least I think this is a Western Meadowlark? I’ve never seen one before, despite living in their range for going on 20 years. Spotted at Clover Point #yyj.

Hearing that Lindsay Vonn broke her leg in the crash.
One of the many reasons skiers are almost always airlifted during the Olympics/FIS competition is because of Matthias Lanzinger, whose leg was amputated after a crash in 2008

ICE isn't "routine, professional law enforcement"?
I'm old enough to remember when police beat Rodney King, but younger people may instead recognize names like George Floyd or Sandra Bland.
Policing has always treated some people this way, they've just expanded the definition of "some people".

Surely fascism has a financial component, as fascists are concerned with wealth, and people who simply crave wealth are encouraged by that craving to side with fascists.
But there is also a component of fascism separate from wealth accumulation, as even poorer people can side with fascists.
