I write and talk about energy and borders and that our collective infrastructure is how we take care of one another, and I like to point out that I’m just one of so many fellow travelers saying it in different ways. Today is a good demonstration of that. 😍💡

But also, just because I can’t resist a “fuck you” to the US: Bad Bunny’s being in and among the people, sharing their joy snd they danced out of colonialism, is a repudiation of the culture of American exceptionalism that shapes our understanding of liberation.

Sunny beat me to the very next statement I was going to make.
The whole performance wasn’t about the triumph of the individual, but the collective effort and joy that that elevates all of us out of oppression.
They literally danced their way through and out of the history of colonialism TOGETHER.

Okay so a thing I LOVED about that is how, whereas so many halftime shows kind of elevate the star above the other dancers/extras—often literally—that was like the exact opposite, he was *with and among* the people around him

This, I think, was really the point.
Inasmuch as he dialed in the intersectional history of colonialism across the Americas (the diversity of performers wasn’t an accident and you can’t convince me otherwise) he REALLY dialed in the history joy as a revolutionary act.

I’m throwing “thriving” in there because that show was as much a celebration of all that we are as it was an indictment of everything that America thinks it is.

Earnestly, it rocks that people are on here sharing history, linguistics, and other fields of research—plus some really brilliant journalism!—to contextualize the Super Bowl halftime show!!! Keep doing this!!
Have not seen the halftime show, already adding a bunch of readings to the list (learning is great! I don't know as much about Puerto Rican history as I should!), and also eagerly awaiting @endofsportpod.bsky.social talking about this....

As a former migrant worker (not even a teenager at the time)- it’s important to notice what they’re all doing as he’s being people together thru song. They’re emerging from the fields, in solidarity. And the fields are no longer a place of exploitation/violence but *nature* supporting her people.

I think people need to stop imagining that racism is a mental disorder, and instead look at the degree to which it is taught, from youth, at home, school, reinforced in media, and by the action of the state.
It is 100% ideological. And the effort to enforce it is incredible.

Bro literally came out and said “it’s our labor and culture that has always made the Americas great: y’all are just the beneficiaries of slave owners from sea to shining sea,” and I am here for it.
It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.
Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?
