loved every second of Bad Bunny. That message of inclusion and a celebration of cultures like Puerto Rico’s is just what America needs right now. Plus, his music just gets you in motion. 10/10

Bad Bunny’s beautiful and joyful portrayal of Puerto Rico stands on the shoulders of Kendrick Lamar’s love letter to Compton last year.
Watching the biggest performance in the world become a representation of real people in real, American places is beautiful. #SuperBowl

Kevin Roberts of The Heritage Foundation said well before the 2024 election that we were "in the middle of the Second American Revolution that shall remain bloodless if the left allows it."
Somehow many are still not putting the pieces together that rules, for them, are out the window.

I was on a post on IG about a woman talking about her husband thinks she should "move on" about the murder of Renee Good, and stumbled upon what I feel like is a pretty important reply.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!
