I needed reminded today what this is all for.

Idaho’s top elected officials have turned their back on human rights Instead of acting in ignorance, Idahoans should continue the long-standing tradition of speaking out for human rights.

......acts leaned on nostalgia, cover-style performances, and tired country tropes—beer, bravado, even reckless behavior—packaged like a retro Grammy medley. All in English, yes, but also all looking backward.
One show moved culture forward.
The other defended a shrinking comfort zone.

Bad Bunny didn’t dig up a song from 2012 or do covers. He performed his own, current music—songs about love, community, and real hardship—in a culturally diverse, inclusive set that reflected how people actually live. No hate. No scapegoating. Just humanity.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl half-time show review – a thrilling ode to Boricua joy The Grammy-winning Puerto Rican megastar delivered a powerful, detail-packed performance that paid tribute to his history and teased more greatness for his future When the NFL announced in September that Bad Bunny would perform at the Super Bowl half-time show, the immediate expectation was that Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio would Make a Statement.

I felt like I was at a Puerto Rican party! 💃

They are saying Kid Rock handed his Grammy to lil’ Kyle Rittenhouse during the halftime show.

(Not true. Kid Rock has never won a Grammy).

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.

Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

I feel like I was just part of a Puerto Rico party! 💃

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Is she glad she's lived to see she was correct, or no?
