Bad Bunny 101

Ooookay here we go. Bad Bunny 101 condensed into six weeks of music, reading material, and perreo

One of the most striking snd powerful parts of the halftime show

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?

trump has probably destroyed the minnesota republican party for the duration

It’s notable that the president can go on TV and be a total gutter racist, and somehow this isn’t news in the slightest. Says a lot about the sickness of American society right now.

I’ve heard from multiple friends today about daycares being raided and parents being ripped out of cars (in one case with a child left behind in the backseat). Grim times here.

Over and over the US inflicts obscene violence against the global South, in flagrant violation of international law, to maintain the conditions for capital accumulation for its decadent billionaire class. It's disgusting and intolerable. We cannot continue to accept this.

i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"

Trump didn’t exactly refute the “personality of an alcoholic” allegations tonight

Numbers to call and report ICE activity in NC

Whoa! Immigrants come here with nothing and the next thing you know they’re buying houses that established citizens cannot afford? Those enterprising newcomers sound like just the sort of folks we need. Never mind that JD’s premise is as BS as his 30M number.

Imagine thinking domestic violence isn’t “really serious”

Oh no! That must be bad ...

We should have listened when the modems screamed at us.

They finally made the milk from that hotel

HOW IS THIS MADNESS REAL? I can't take anymore. Smfh

tell it

Just no. We can see through this.

Right here in North Carolina!

Thank you for being there!

Loved listening to my good friends and comrades April Petillo, Alison Bloom, @karinf.bsky.social, Hasnaa Mokhtar and Sam Lilly at #SfAA2025 bring hope and possibilities for imagining otherwise as we continue the work to end GBV, here and everywhere.

I, like many others, rely on these reports & categories to convince Homeland Security of specific country conditions for asylum claims. Without these categories, the State Dept *disappears* these forms of discrimination & impairs the asylum process. It's the point. And it is evil. Not merely unjust.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Internal Memos: Senior USAID Leaders Warned Trump Appointees of Hundreds of Thousands of Deaths From Closing Agency One million children will go untreated for severe malnutrition, up to 166,000 people will die from malaria and 200,000 more children will be paralyzed by polio over the next decade, the memos estimate...

The consequences of destroying USAID: 1M children not treated for severe acute malnutrition. Up to 166,000 people will die from malaria. New cases of TB will go up by 30%. 200,000 more children will be paralyzed by polio over the next 10yrs

They did it anyway.

Congrats!

I've been going to my local Latinx grocery store & handing out red cards, & explaining immigrant rights. The grocery store was thrilled to have me, and everyone so appreciative. We can all do this (and perhaps drum up longer term support for Dems in the process).

I spent the day at Latinx mini-mercados, laundries, and grocery stores handing out red cards abt immigrant rights (& what to do if agents show up). The appreciation was so intense and palpable. May sound self congratulatory, but it was by far the best way to get over this awful what-do-we do-slump.

This gives me *some* hope.
