I'm a 70's baby, a child of the 80's and a lover of music and dance. I'm also a huge A's fan!

@POK252 I would still want to make a pick in this year’s draft so if we could get one or their two, I would do it.

For Pos, healing meant facing the grief, speaking on it, and pouring that love into the music - making sure Dave's presence is felt in every moment. Grief doesn't go away. But expressing it can change how it lives with you.

The Caribbean island of Hispaniola is home to Haiti and the Dominican Republic — and even though they are neighbors, tensions between the two linger, stemming from a conflict in 1844.

Still, as @adrianadiaz, with Dominican heritage, and @vladduthierscbs, with Haitian heritage, know well, the two sides have plenty in common. They visited Brooklyn’s Antilles Cafe, named after the island group that contains both countries, to see how two friends are celebrating their cultures together.

A ativista Nikki Sapiro enfatizou a importância de Lady Gaga no show de Bad Bunny no Super Bowl. 🇵🇷

1) Pessoas brancas,
se vocês querem entender como se posicionar agora, vale olhar para a apresentação da Lady Gaga no Super Bowl.

2) Gaga não se colocou no centro
Ela não fez daquele momento algo sobre ela. Ela entrou em cena sabendo de quem era aquele palco. Ali, o foco era celebrar e valorizar a cultura latina.

3) Gaga honrou a cultura
Ela ajustou a performance, a música e a presença dela para conversar com a linguagem cultural do show. Não para aparecer mais. Não para dominar. Para estar alinhada.

4) Ela enalteceu, não se apropriou
O vestido não era fantasia, nem "figurino" emprestado: foi uma encomenda para a LUAR, marca fundada por pessoas latinas. Isso é investimento. Isso é redistribuição. Isso é respeito.

5) Gaga ensina
Se você tem poder, use para amplificar, não para ofuscar.
Se foi convidado a entrar, respeite o espaço.
Se não é a sua história, não tente reescrevê-la.
É assim que a gente aparece de forma correta.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show reminded millions of viewers of something geography never forgot:

America is a continent. The United States is just one country in it.

Bomba is a music and dance tradition created by enslaved Africans on Puerto Rican sugar plantations. Instead of the dancer following the drummer, the drummer follows the dancer. The movements are also said to include gestures that mocked the enslavers.

Play some bomba and if those drums don’t take over your feet you ain’t Black.

BREAKING: MAGA in full meltdown mode over this Super Bowl ad 😡

It would be a shame if you shared it and it went Viral 💙💙💙

Drop a 💙 for the bravery of Epstein survivors!

“I see no color” is not the goal.

“I see your color and I honor you. I value your input. I will be educated about your lived experiences. I will work against the racism that harms you. I will check my prejudice and do better. You are worth fighting for.”

... That’s the goal.

"A lie told once is questioned. A lie repeated often enough becomes accepted. And once it becomes 'common sense,' people stop investigating it. That is how deception survives."

This guy magnificently used sarcasm to explain the Republican and MAGA hypocrisy in regards to the Alex Pretti murder.

The reason folks wanna ban Black History courses and censor museums is so you won’t see the parallels between what they did after Reconstruction and what they’re doing now

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
