[𓁹انجي𓁹 @levantinewitch]

every single one of those children were just sweet little kids. they were bringing home laughter and stories about their day and test grades and homework, and all that is there for their parents to pick up is a backpack.

this is unbearable.

[King Roy @RoyIsThaTruth]

Bad Bunny walked out in a #64 jersey with “OCASIO” on the back.

Not Bad Bunny.

Not Benito.

His real name.

His family name.

Then he grabbed the mic and said:

“My name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. And if today I’m here at the Super Bowl, it’s because I never, never stopped believing in myself.”

In Spanish.
No translation.
Even the jumbotron was in Spanish.

And I watched the whole thing with a translator on.

Because the message was that important to me.

They said he was “un-American.”

They said nobody would understand him.

They said having him perform was “ridiculous.”

And he SHOWED OUT!

He brought out Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin.

He staged a wedding on the field.

He recreated a bodega.

He gave us a whole scene of family and love.

He humanized an entire culture on the world’s biggest stage.

All in his native language.

And he didn’t flinch.

His lyrics were clear messages:

“They want to take the river from me, and the beach too. They want my neighborhood and for my grandma to leave.”

“I should have taken more photos when I had you. Hopefully my loved ones will never move.”

And that last line:

“Ojalá que los míos nunca se muden.”

Hopefully my loved ones will never move.

That’s about families being separated.

Forced to leave.

Displacement.

Yeah, he didn’t chase the mainstream.

He made the mainstream come to him.

He put his family name on his back and told 120 million people exactly who he is.

And I’m here for ALL of it!👏🏽

NOT EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT FOOD STAMPS & RAMEN NOODLES. AND SOME DON'T KNOW ABOUT WALKING TO THE LAUNDROMAT WITH BIG BAGS OF CLOTHES, BOILING WATER ON THE STOVE FOR BATHS, AND LIGHTING CANDLES IN THE HOUSE BECAUSE THE POWER WENT OFF & NOT BECAUSE IT WAS STORMING.
SOME DON'T KNOW ABOUT HAND-ME-DOWNS, SECOND-HAND CLOTHES, OR SLEEPING ON THE COUCH OR THE FLOOR. SOME DON'T KNOW ABOUT GETTING GROCERIES AT A FOOD PANTRY OR WAITING IN A LUNCH LINE FOR A MEAL, OR TURNING THE OVEN ON TO HEAT THE HOUSE. SOME DON'T KNOW ABOUT HAND WASHING CLOTHES IN THE TUB OR IN THE SINK AND DRYING THEM ON A CLOTHESLINE.
SOME DON'T KNOW ABOUT SHOWERING AT SOMEONE ELSE'S HOUSE. IF YOU HAVEN'T STRUGGLED, I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO UNDERSTAND.

Believe it or not, I actually WANT my taxes to fund SNAP & Medicaid, not golf trips for millionaires & military tanks for war

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day!🌈💙

It is more important than ever to read books written by and about Indigenous Peoples highlighting their heritage, cultural pride, and strength.

Here are some books to honor and celebrate Native heritage not only this week, but year-round!📚

[Sesame Street @sesamestreet]

In celebration of #IndigenousPeoplesDay, Sesame Street’s Word of the Day is “tradition!" Join @BigBird and our friend Zahn McClarnon as we honor Indigenous peoples around the world and the many ways they share their culture and family traditions, today and every day.

This is part of the WWII Memorial in DC. Over 400 gold stars. Each star represents 1,000 members of Antifa who gave their lives in defense of Democracy.

Don’t tell me there’s not power in numbers and that our resistance and voices do not matter!
