Tras la actuación de Bad Bunny en el medio tiempo del Super Tazón, un debate resurgió casi al instante: ¿fue este un acto significativo de disidencia política o solo otro ej de la asombrosa capacidad del capitalismo para absorber las críticas y revenderlas como espectáculo? Aquí mis reflexiones.

In the aftermath of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance, a familiar debate resurfaced almost instantly: was this a meaningful act of political dissent or merely another example of capitalism’s uncanny ability to absorb critique and resell it as spectacle? In this blog I offer my reflections.

On this day we remember Bertolt Brecht - poet, dramatist, exile, communist, and relentless critic of fascism. Forced to flee Nazi Germany, Brecht wrote not from safety but from displacement, rage, and clarity. His poetry insists that art must take sides. Neutrality is surrender.

Exactly, Avi.
Trump is fuelling a humanitarian crisis in Cuba, with an oil blockade that is leading to devastating power outages and rationing. This administration is determined to dominate the hemisphere with brute force and naked impunity.

this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart
1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks
2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections

Absolutely agree with @jasonhickel.bsky.social here.
The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.

When Trump claims #BadBunny’s historic Super Bowl show watched by millions was ‘affront’ to American ‘greatness’, we know Bad Bunny has struck a deep chord, an anti-fascist and anti-colonialist one, where the Americas rise together and look after each other or, once again, fall totally apart.

I find Vijay Prashad’s apology over the Jeffrey Epstein – Noam Chomsky emails sincere, but still not enough. For years, I also defended Woody Allen, trusting legal exoneration and treating Dylan Farrow’s allegations as closed. I no longer feel confident about any of that.

Racism at the highest levels of the GOP / MAGA movement, the US state as a whole - from the WH to all Departments and agencies - and its political culture. Trump's a perfect illustration. It's why he's destroying DEI everywhere possible and debasing the US public sphere to the lowest possible level.

First I dropped Facebook, then I dumped X, both for the same reasons. Do I now have to leave #Substack as well? While I know many progressives continue to post regularly on those "social" platforms, I can't help but feel deeply unsettled by their fascist billiogarch owners, content and algorithms.

Paula White speaking in tongues? An AI analysis says it's some Japanese-sounding nonsense gibberish. It's nothing remotely related to God, JC or the Holy Ghost sending a message to the congregation. All the people crying their eyes out thinking they're hearing prophecy are being totally duped.
