The cruelty of this regime
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

I love that so many people thought that this was Liam. It doesn’t matter that it wasn’t or that the intended is different from perception. The political import of that moment transcends Bad Bunny, his childhood, etc. This is about the future of Latinos. About Liam. About Puerto Rico.
That moment when he handed the Grammy to the child 😭😭

So all these people mad about Benito doing the half show are afraid of what? Accidentally learning Spanish? This is so real dumb ass shit. Can’t wait for my intro to Latino Studies class on Monday morning. It’s going to be a fun one.

How is it that people do not know that Puerto Rico is part (a colony to be exact) of the US???? Like how does one claim to be a patriot and not know the geography of the nation-state you’re defending. #badbunnysuperbowl

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.
This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats.
They hate the helpers.
Which is why must keep helping.
