I didn't enjoy the #superbowl Halftime Show with Bad Bunny. It didn't connect with me. I cannot imagine being so worked up about it that I'd try to organize a "boycott" over it. MAGA people are so sheeplike and submissive.

@damnyouwillis.bsky.social Just saw an ad for ICE, in Spanish, telling people to self deport, on DoA website. Is that something you have any control over? I really don't want to see that and I really don't think you want their money.
