Terris: When I got to the Oval Office, there were two men standing there holding pieces of paper that said “talking points.” I’m not sure I was supposed to see that—and those turned out to be his doctors.

/3 Bad Bunny is an American citizen, but he could have been born on Plymouth Fucking Rock and he would still fall on the “immigrant” side of the “immigration divide” to Trump and his WaPo toadies.

/2 Bad Bunny stands for “immigration” because he’s not white. His existence within the United States — and particularly his broad popularity and great success — are an affront to Trumpian white nationalist values. That’s the WaPo message, brought to you with Jeff Bezos’ Amazon smile.

Everyone is shitting on the Post for implying that Bad Bunny, from Puerto Rico, is a “immigrant,” not an American citizen. But WaPo is actually being honest about the Trumpist immigration agenda, for which dutifully if dully supports. The Trumpist agenda is white nationalist.

The Super Bowl halftime show, with Bad Bunny showcasing Latin music before a global television audience expected to top 100 million, will illustrate the nation’s immigration divide whether or not the reggaeton star delivers an explicit political message.

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.

One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.

It's not Bad Bunny.🤷‍♀️

Trump isn’t going to the Super Bowl because he is, one year into his term, more unpopular than he’s been since the January 6 insurrection. He knows that when the cameras inevitably found him in his box, he would be mercilessly and loudly booed.
