1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

There are some great threads going about how awful sugar plantations were.

I just want to add something as a historical romance author: every time you see someone adding a sugar cube to tea in a historical romance, think of those threads and the blood-soaked cost of the sugar.

Elmo @elmo · 1h That Bunny was AMAZING. Elmo thinks he should be called Good Bunny! Elmo loves you, Mr. Good Bunny! ❤️🎶🐰 Based Yankee @thebasedyankee You and Bad Bunny should be deported

It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."

Bad Bunny for Vanity Fair in 2023:

“What I do, I do from my heart...I believe that every human being has the duty to have empathy for others, to help others, to respect them, to always try to contribute something to society, to bring a positive change.”

Pop star Bad Bunny needed a Puerto Rican history scholar. UW–Madison had just the one. Bad Bunny collaborated with UW–Madison history professor Jorell Meléndez-Badillo on Puerto Rican narratives that accompany the new album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.”

In his latest album, “Debí Tirar Más Fotos,” pop star Bad Bunny delves into Puerto Rican history with a little help from UW–Madison Assistant Professor of History Jorell Meléndez-Badillo.

What can you do with a history degree?

'Please, Try To Be Fair': Surya Bonaly Confronts 1994 World Championships Loss Surya Bonaly is a three-time World silver medalist in figure skating, a five-time European champion, the 1991 World Junior Champion and a nine-time French national champion. How did she end up in the ...

She also once bravely refused to accept a silver medal because years of racist judging constantly deemed her “not artistic enough,” aka too Black, and she eventually just couldn’t take it anymore.

www.wbur.org/onpoint/2019...

If you are too young to remember Surya, she was a fucking ICON. The only person in history to do a BACKFLIP with a SPLIT ON THE AIR, which she’d land ON ONE FOOT

Of course she wasn’t properly appreciated in her time because racism.

friend of mine can't dance so he pretended he's republican and stormed out of the room before bad bunny comes on

I disagree with Congressman Gonzales that 5-year-old American citizen children are helped in any way by their kindergarten classmates being kisbnapped and disappeared by marked, armed thugs.

That critique of the government extracting resources from PR. The power poles.

First time I saw the banana peel floor caution signs was in Puerto Rico

beaming hard, that halftime show was dope as hell

and I can't believe I saw a Vincy flag! (the country of my birth)

if a game turns your cursor into a little gauntlet, it automatically gets +1 point

I asked Duck Duck Go when the half-time show is and most of the links it’s showing me are press coverage about TPUSA’s halftime show 🤦🏽‍♀️

Yay, team!
