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!👏🏽
Can we make a reality show where we make baby boomers try applying to jobs for the first time in 30 years using their own advice, and see how quickly they have a mental breakdown?
Obama gave trump an fully recovered and stable economy and he destroyed it
Biden gave trump an economy that was recovering faster than any other on earth, with the longest record of month to month jobs gains ever in history and, once again, he has destroyed it.
“They were careless people… they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”
- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

This year, Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill gave:
Google an $18 billion tax break.
Amazon a $16 billion tax break.
Microsoft a $12 billion tax break.
Facebook an $11 billion tax break.
Now, they’re writing checks to Trump for his $300 million ballroom.
Gee, I wonder why?
“At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the President’s main priority.” — Karoline Leavitt
Not wages, education, utility bills, health care, housing, food insecurity, veterans, child care, climate disasters, tariffs, national security, or a gov shutdown.
A ballroom.
Unlike Trump, I don't care if someone likes me or not. That will never change the fact that I'm going to fight for them to have health care.
I want MAGA to have health care. I want MAGA to be paid a living wage.
