We're living in a terrifying new reality. Trump's DHS mob are killing US citizens, kidnapping kids and terrorizing hard working immigrants - including the farm workers who feed us.

Call your Senators TODAY! Tell them don't fund ICEs terror campaign!

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.”

From the bestskeeting author of the Bluesky-famous six-week Bad Bunny 101 comes this essential close reading of the halftime show! 🧵
First shot: sugarcane

The backbone of Puerto Rico's agricultural economy since colonial times

Still used to make rum of course!

The tamal is old, once fueling Aztec armies. The secret is nixtamalization, creating aromatic masa. Cooks whip this dough with lots of fat until it floats in water. If it sinks, you keep beating. Geography dictates the wrapper: Mexico uses corn husks, Central America prefers glossy banana leaves.

I think the power of a song like Bruce Springsteen's "The Streets of Minneapolis" is not just that it cuts right through the moral smoke screen the feds are putting down, and not just that it is very direct, but that it claims the wider scope and vindication of history and the future to come.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Naming things accurately is powerful - state terror is absolutely correct - and I am grateful that Springsteen and other prominent figures are doing more of it. May this galvanize more action!
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
