I’m not much for wallowing in the past. But #TheWayISeeIt is therapeutic. I didn’t realize I needed something like this to remember how our country can be and brace for the next election. #Vote

The couple featured in Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime performance was legally married during halftime. Story via @bepryor: espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

Yes, and unfortunately the son was a two-term President.

Bad Bunny did something Trump can NEVER do...name all the countries in the Americas

A Spanish language Super Bowl halftime performance by a top American artist is not an attack on American culture. It is a reflection of it. More than 40 million Americans speak Spanish. In thriving American cities like Miami, where I live, it is commonplace. If you feel attacked simply by people speaking in or singing Spanish you are the problem.

Okay this is beautiful 🥹

Imagine thinking Spanish isn’t American while millions of Americans speak it every day, serve in the military, vote, pay taxes, and build the country you claim to “own.” Spanish has been spoken in America longer than English in huge parts of it.

Imagine getting mad about this and still thinking you’re a good person

We were all told Trump won a cultural mandate in 2024. Within just one year, Trump is back to yelling from the cultural sidelines while halftime shows rebuke his politics, his VP gets booed at the Olympics, celebrities turn on him, & his party loses elections. Welcome to Woke 2

Without a doubt, the best Halftime Show I’ve ever seen. A true celebration of an American culture that few of us ever witness. I didn’t understand much of what they were saying, but I didn’t need to. They said it all without having to sing a word. It was intimate, rather than a spectacle; handheld cameras in the middle of people who were happy and joyful. Color and excitement everywhere. No sweeping stadium shots or reliance on shock and awe. Just us, you and me, in the middle of a party that we didn’t deserve to be invited to, but were anyway. Hospitality. True welcome. A reminder to the world that our nation *IS* more than white dudes wrapped in business suits, confederate flags, and Bible drag… we are much more. At least, we SHOULD be more than that… and the better part of us is.

Bad Bunny: god bless america! Los yankees: omg se refiere a nosotros! Bad Bunny inmediatamente:

he's not citing only the latin american countries, he's citing every AMERICAN country, period. we, too, are americans. being american is not being from the united states and decolonial studies have said this for decades.

I started listening to Bad Bunny when I moved to Miami a few years ago. It was always playing in the gym. I started to learn the songs, which started teaching me words in Spanish. Then some of the Dominican trainers at the gym and I became friends, and they started speaking Spanish with me. It gave me a small taste of what it must be like for immigrants who don’t speak English to come to America and turn to movies, TV shows, and music to learn the language. And how quickly you can become friends with someone even when you only share a few words in common. IMO that’s what Bad Bunny’s halftime show captured creatively. Latin culture is special. And you don’t need to speak the language to be invited to the party, dance, and experience community & connection. I’m glad he didn’t sing a single word in English. It’s his party. And I appreciate him inviting all of us, fluent or not, to be part of it.

I think the people who needed to create their own Super Bowl halftime show with the few singers who will have anything to do with them are the ones who have trouble assimilating to American society.

No surprise Hedges is dead-on here: “Noam, of all people, knows the predatory nature of the ruling class and the cruelty of capitalists, where the vulnerable, especially girls and women, are commodified as objects to be used and exploited.”

someone genuinely explain to me how this could possibly be considered offensive or divisive to anyone

Even Trump didn’t watch Kid Rock

I played violin during Lift Every Voice and Sing at the Super Bowl during BLACK HISTORY MONTH. I'm proud to be a black woman and a black musician. 🎻

The entire vibe of the show was about community, culture and family. We saw little kids and grandparents. A barber shop! I’m guessing the other show billed as “All American” didn’t have the same feel.
