Me as at Latin Americanist. Damn yes!

That halftime show is what people mean when they say "joy is an act of resistance."

Was the Bad Bunny SB halftime show wedding real? Here's the answer Fans are wondering if that was a real wedding during the Bad Bunny halftime show.

Apparently! Or at least they were a real couple who had invited BB to their wedding and instead he invited them to be in the halftime show! ftw.usatoday.com/story/entert...

Remember. Your Ring camera is fascist.

What a moment.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

This is the podcast I cohost with my colleague Rojo Robles. In our first episode of the season we interview Kairiana Nuñez Santaliz about her theater and performance work. Including her upcoming project with Rojo.

This episode is in Spanish but we also have plenty in English too!

Bad Bunny's hottest local Super Bowl pregame is at the Chicago Public Library

The library? Yes, the library is hosting a series for Chicagoans to learn about Puerto Rican history ahead of Bad Bunny’s historical Super Bowl halftime show performance this weekend.

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there.

I need you to listen to these people.
STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

There's lots of literature on formations of Indigenous & Black solidarity, but I'm looking for work that discusses examples of, or potentialities toward, solidarities between militant labour struggles & Indigenous claims to sovereignty. Any suggestions?

This! Apparently there is a way to get it on your laptop but I haven’t gotten around to the tech folks to make it happen. I WANT to put my phone away when I get to work!

Shhhhhhh

I was literally thinking this as I watched the first episode last night. Let’s bring it back!

How? How do you double-check the accuracy, if you're not already an expert? Ask a different GenAI? Or do you, you know... Have to go and do the research you would have done anyway, pre-AI? Because I'm buggered if I can think of how you do that in a way where the GenAI saved you time.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

They should not fund ANY version

I know we're all seeing 87 unhinged things per day, but "guys if our multi billion dollar product doesn't start being useful for something, literally anything, the people might not appreciate us wrecking the planet over it anymore" is a truly bananapants thing to say out loud

thinking of the thousands of books and movies and tv and music created by actual people that don't get noticed bc they don't get the marketing support they deserve, meanwhile these assholes are shoving the garbage theft machine down our throats with more money than god and they can't make us love it

If you spend money on anything Harry Potter, you are funding this.

If you think it's okay to continue being a fan and talking about it and putting your Hogwarts House in your profile since you already bought the books/movies, Rowling had stated the continued fandom shows you support her bigotry.

Please, please just don’t use AI. Not even a little bit! 🫶🫶🫶

"The sweeping study... found that using AI in education can 'undermine children's foundational development' and that 'the damages it has already caused are daunting.'"

They include limiting kids' cognitive, social, and emotional developmen, and increasing inequity.

Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help:

Trump just suspended federal funding for SNAP benefits to Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland is an MN-based hunger-relief org.

The quick turn to “experts” on Latin America and the Caribbean… shows how the apparatus of Area Studies was developed in the Cold War for just this: conquest, war studies.

Caribbean studies, at its best when anchored in Black studies and indigeneity, is the opposite, a decolonizing project.
