Correct. Trump of course lied about what he actually said.

This is what Hess said: “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now. I think it’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of. Just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the US.”

Puerto Rico hasn't had reliable power in a decade.

The grid sends occasional surges through the wires that fry appliances.

Electricity rates are among the highest in the entire U.S.

Heat waves are getting intense in the summer, and outages mean A/C is no guarantee for an aging population.

It’s always hilarious seeing MAGA lunatics telling Olympic Athletes how to compete better, how to think, how to speak, how to feel. No one, especially athletes who train all of their lives in their sport, needs your shitty advice. Go back to worshipping a criminal and STFU.

I loved every minute of Bad Bunny Benito’s Super Bowl Half-Time Show including his personal messages of love, inclusion and pride. This was needed.

My son walked out of his HS on Friday and…

4 police vehicles and 8 cops stormed my home—cornering my son as he walked his dog

I don’t think any activity is safe anymore
They told me they wouldn’t take him, but they scared the crap out of us. We will be at the next protest, and we’re bring friends!

We are eventually going to win — tonight was a grand reminder of that — but Trump and his goons are pulling out all the stops along the way.
Tonight was wonderful, but don’t miss this —>

On Friday night, two Fifth Circuit judges gave Trump exactly what he wants to enact mass detentions. Judges Edith Jones and Kyle Duncan split with more than 150 judges who have ruled against the Trump admin's new, harsh interpretation of a 1996 law.

Mortality rates were so high on sugar plantations during slavery that slaveholders used to coerce enslaved people working other crops like cotton with threats to sell them or their loved ones to sugar plantations.

That’s where the term “sold down the river” came from.

I hope she sues the daylights out of them. Never have Americans been subjected to this insane brutality by our own government. I hope she there were watchers filming so she has evidence to charge them with.

And many thanks to the watchers everywhere who can document this nightmare.

Benito really did the thing tonight and gave us an amazing performance I'm going to be thinking about for a long time

I hope this inspires some of you to become fans and listen to his music

If you do, I'm always here to talk about him with you!! (Starting tomorrow. I'm going to bed)

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but there was a time when it was illegal for Puerto Ricans to speak Spanish or wave the bandera. People were jailed and killed for it. So seeing the Puerto Rican flag at the Super Bowl isn’t just pride, it’s history, survival, & resistance. #Pinks #Momsky

The NYT fired everyone who knew that sugar cane is kinda important to Puerto Rico.

They're dumber than dogshit over there. This is so fucking embarrassing.
At the start of his Super Bowl performance, Bad Bunny appeared in a field of green grass wearing a jersey featuring the number “64.” Fans immediately started tossing out theories about what the number meant.

And where did his suit come from? The answers may surprise.

Trump is badly losing the war over ICE, not just on the streets, but also in the culture. As Bad Bunny shows, this has become a culture war unto itself. Trump-MAGA's initial hubris has been utterly deflated.

I've got fresh data illustrating the point. 1/

MAGA’s hatred of the Super Bowl halftime performer reflects a hubris about what parts of the culture are “theirs.” But those assumptions are proving more wrong every day.
