Exactly. I’ll watch your kids for 2 hours so you can nap. I’ll take your dog for a walk. I can call the insurance company for you.

If someone you love is in major crisis and you genuinely want to help, don’t :
1. Say “if you need anything let me know”
2. Call me if I can help
3. Go into a lecture of why they are in that situation.
DO:
1. Offer concrete help with what makes sense.
2. Hug and 🤐

I love that so many people thought that this was Liam. It doesn’t matter that it wasn’t or that the intended is different from perception. The political import of that moment transcends Bad Bunny, his childhood, etc. This is about the future of Latinos. About Liam. About Puerto Rico.

it’s not Liam but it is, you know? Like symbolically it is every little Latino boy watching. He speaks to the camera and says in Spanish “believe in yourself, love yourself, you’re better than you think.” And I saw my own Latino boy’s eyes sparkle. Those two moments undid so much hate.

So all these people mad about Benito doing the half show are afraid of what? Accidentally learning Spanish? This is so real dumb ass shit. Can’t wait for my intro to Latino Studies class on Monday morning. It’s going to be a fun one.

How is it that people do not know that Puerto Rico is part (a colony to be exact) of the US???? Like how does one claim to be a patriot and not know the geography of the nation-state you’re defending. #badbunnysuperbowl

“Palestinian experts say what is unfolding across the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem is not spontaneous, incidental, or the work of fringe extremists, but rather a deliberate, state-funded project of demographic engineering—geographically planned, openly articulated, and systematically executed.”

Twin Cities tow truck driver returns abandoned vehicles to families after ICE arrests Juan Leon sends a "chase" car to check out where abandoned vehicles are located and arranges discreet drop-offs. Since late December, he estimated they have dropped off 250 cars.

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.

This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats.

They hate the helpers.

Which is why must keep helping.
