Crazy how relevant this still is. Phil nails it 🔥

Instagram, TikTok and Facebook are actively shutting down anti-Israel views or criticism of the illegal war with Iran; X (Twitter) is manipulating the narrative by boosting MAGA and Israeli accounts while limiting the view of others. It’s a full censorship regime on US media.

Live updates: Tehran launches retaliatory strikes as Trump calls for regime change The U.S. and Israel struck Iran on Saturday. President Donald Trump said the Iranian public should “take over" their government. The first strikes appeared to target Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Al...

That entire Halftime special was a celebration of community, love, music, diversity and Puerto Rico and very deliberate middle finger to colonization and white supremacy.

bad bunny killed it out there. the only thing more powerful than hate is love ❤️

1 minute in and this is already a classic Halftime Show.

Bad Bunny is gonna break so many racist brains today.

Man, if you watched the Super Bowl right now you would never know our citizens are under siege and being patrolled/silenced en masse. These commercials are bullshit.
