I feel like it hasn't been mentioned enough that Bad Bunny has been the most steamed artist in the world for years. This was not "minority" representation. The NFL aren't being generous. The numbers don't lie. They booked him because they want people to watch

“What verdict will history render on those many moments of cowardice and silence from journalists who fell into line with the genocidaires? What will it mean to look in the mirror and realize that, when it mattered most, they chose career safety and complicity in genocide denial?”
Israel’s Military Now Accepts 70,000 Killed in Gaza – But Why Did Our Media Let Them Get Away With Denying It for So Long?
I have spent the past two years debating the credibility of the Gaza Health Ministry’s numbers with supporters of Israel. It turns out the Israeli military agrees with me, not them.

European governments have hired Palantir as well. But they prefer to keep quiet about it, as does the EU Commission.
The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics.
This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.
