Listen closely and continue to challenge and never let up until you see change. We're fighting for the world we live in and for our future and for the generations to come
“It is the young people leading the way and I applaud them.”

@EricLindquist We don't deserve them, they are the best 😭 Thanks! Hope you're hanging in there with your newborn. This year for me as a first time father has been honestly transformational for me, can't believe my kiddo is almost about to turn 1 next month

What an honor to be part of such an extraordinary moment in history! 🙏🏽 La casita - let’s gooooo! 💃🏽❤️🔥
Joy you could feel.
Pride you could see.
A beautiful love letter to Puerto Rico - and to all of America.
Yesterday was bigger than a performance.
It was Dignity. Inclusion. Unity. Representation. And Love.
Benito ‘Bad Bunny’ tells stories rooted in his culture, his people, and his truth - and yesterday, those stories were centered on one of the biggest stages in the world. Watching him honor the diversity of our community gave me full body chills and was so emotional. Some of the most meaningful moments don’t need explanation or translation - you just feel them.
For me, yesterday was about joy - fully living inside it.
Because when culture is honored instead of erased, when people are seen instead of sidelined, we become one.
Above all, as Benito has said, “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” Love, joy, and unity - this is how we rise ✊🏽✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
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!👏🏽
Los bailes, la barbería, la joyería, los señores jugando en la calle, la gente trepando los postes, el granizado, las fiestas latinas, el niño durmiendo en la silla, las banderas, la mención de los países latinoamericanos. Benito homenajeó de la mejor manera a Latinoamérica😭
Benito Martínez Ocasio nos dio un show que honró a toda Latinoamérica con referencias que solo nosotros entendemos. El niño durmiendo en las sillas juntadas, los puestos de comida, las fiestas, la familia, lo vibrante que es nuestra cultura desde sus colores hasta los sonidos.
La mejor protesta siempre será mostrar nuestra alegría, nuestra cultura, porque ser capaces de sentir felicidad frente a la agresión es un acto de protesta por si mismo. De aquí nadie nos saca, de aquí no nos movemos, esta es nuestra casa. Donde nacieron nuestros abuelos. Gracias Bad Bunny ❤️
