Been talking to my friends lately (who are also Christian) about how funny God is. Recently he positioned me to support a project that is somewhat of a dream to me. But it’s also affiliated with people that even two years ago I likely wouldn’t have shared a room with. He is doing a work in me.

Hi everyone, I have a last minute doctors appointment in LA and transport costs $450 plus the medical hotel $400. If you have any spare change would appreciate help ❤️
I know you always see me posting about work but it is all essentially for the free.99. 😞 Praying one day that’ll change.

This is wild to say but in high school the police on campus would routinely gas us with pepper spray if a fight broke out, I’m talking pepper spray the entire cafeteria. they had these massive canisters. I thought this was normal until graduate school.

great performances! (folks who didn't watch the [sadly separate] signed stream may not know that the halftime show was signed in Puerto Rican Sign Language by a Puerto Rican deaf interpreter who tours with Bad Bunny!)

i think the the sugarcane plantation scene really hit me not only bc it’s black history month but also bc I’m ilokano and so many of my people were brought to Hawaii to work on the sugar cane plantations. My family migrated a similar route ilocos > Hawaii > california and it just hit me deep

So many Latinos both in their homelands and in the US have relationship w nature through worker exploitation. I don’t know bad bunny well, so honestly when the opening shots came and I see workers in fields? I was about to get pissed. oh are we about to get happy farm labor songs at the superbowl?

As a former migrant worker (not even a teenager at the time)- it’s important to notice what they’re all doing as he’s being people together thru song. They’re emerging from the fields, in solidarity. And the fields are no longer a place of exploitation/violence but *nature* supporting her people.

I think the ‘less obvious’ politics here is that the entire thing started off with workers in the fields and ended with community dancing and emerging in solidarity from the fields. I think it’s beautiful that he named every country and all the peoples voices rising up- AND-

Puerto Ricans dancing on electrical poles is about as big a political statement you could make at a Super Bowl halftime show. The only way that could have been more explicit is if Bad Bunny started tossing rolls of paper towels to the dancers

Remember that under the first Trump administration, Puerto Rico had to suffer through the longest power blackout in U.S. history bsky.app/profile/cost...
During his Administration, Hurricane Maria knocked out power to 1.5 million people in Puerto Rico and it didn’t get restored for ABOUT A YEAR! It was the largest blackout in U.S. history. This should be line one of any hurricane recovery political coverage. www.vox.com/identities/2...
