Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl (for the non Spanish speaking)

“I watched Bad Bunny deliver the most American halftime show I have ever seen. Then I came home and watched it again. And I am not OK. In the best possible way.

He sang every single word in Spanish. Every. Single. Word. He danced through sugarcane fields built on a football field in California while the President of the United States sat somewhere calling it “disgusting.” Lady Gaga came out and did the salsa. Ricky Martin lit up the night. A couple got married on the field. He handed his Grammy, the one he won eight days ago for Album of the Year, to a little boy who looked up at him the way every child looks up when they dare to believe the world has a place for them.

And then this man, this son of a truck driver and a schoolteacher from Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, stood on the biggest stage on the planet and said “God bless America.”

And then he started naming them.

Chile. Argentina. Uruguay. Paraguay. Bolivia. Peru. Ecuador. Brazil. Colombia. Venezuela. Panama. Costa Rica. Nicaragua. Honduras. El Salvador. Guatemala. Mexico. Cuba. Dominican Republic. Jamaica. The United States. Canada. And then, his voice breaking with everything he carries, “Mi patria, Puerto Rico. Seguimos aquí.” My homeland, Puerto Rico. We are still here.

The flags came. Every single one of them. Carried across that field by dancers and musicians while the jumbotron lit up with the only words that mattered: “THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE.”

I teared up. I’m not ashamed to say it. I sat on my couch and I wept because THAT is the America I believe in. That is the American story, not the sanitized, gated, English-only version that small and frightened people try to sell us. The REAL one. The messy, beautiful, multilingual, multicolored, courageous one. The one that has always been built by hands that speak every language and pray in every tongue and come from every corner of this hemisphere.

That is the America I want Jack and Charlotte to know. That when the moment came, when the whole world was watching, a Puerto Rican kid who grew up to become the most-streamed artist on Earth stood in front of 100 million people, sang in his mother’s language, blessed every nation in the Americas, and spiked a football that read “Together, we are America” into the ground. Not with anger. With joy. With love so big it made hate look exactly as small as it is.

And what did the President do? He called it “absolutely terrible.” He said “nobody understands a word this guy is saying.” He called it “a slap in the face to our Country.” The leader of the free world watched a celebration of love, culture, and everything this hemisphere has given to the world, and all he could see was something foreign. Something threatening. Something disgusting.

Let that sink into your bones.

The man who is supposed to represent all of us looked at the flags of our neighbors, heard the language of 500 million Americans across this hemisphere, and felt attacked. That’s not strength. That’s not patriotism. That is poverty of the soul.

And then there was the Turning Point show. Kid Rock in a college arena in North Dakota. Three million viewers watching a man who once wrote a song about sex with underage girls perform as the “family-friendly” alternative to a Puerto Rican artist celebrating love. They called it the “All-American Halftime Show”, as if America has a velvet rope. As if this country belongs to some of us and not all of us. As if you need to sing in English to count.

Here’s what I want to say to everyone who posted about that show tonight, who shared it proudly, who turned away from Bad Bunny’s celebration because it was in Spanish and the flags weren’t only red, white, and blue: (continued ⬇️)

that debate mess and then the taylor kamala endorsement… double homocide

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

.@KamalaHarris believes as I do that unions are the spine of this economy. She will be a historic, pro-union president.

Folks, we've got one more job to do together. Join us in this fight: https://t.co/FKzIXhmOeg

Imane Khelif is a biological woman and if you want to protect our daughters, you should protect her. If you don’t do the research to find the truth, then we should be protected from you.

Okay, time out. Listen up.

Contrary to the vile disinformation being spread online, there are no trans women competing in boxing at the Olympics.

In fact, there are no trans women competing at all in the Olympics. None. Zilch.

There are two non-binary athletes competing who were assigned female at birth: track and field star Nikki Hiltz (U.S.) and soccer star Quinn (Canada).

There is one trans man competing (that means he was assigned female at birth): Hergie Bacyadan (Philippines), who became the first trans man to ever compete at the Olympics. He was soundly defeated by unanimous decision in the first round of women’s boxing by China’s Li Quan.

I take pride in all of these athletes who are breaking barriers, and it’s completely disgusting to watch insecure and hateful men on this site spread lies and half-truths about trans athletes.

My congratulations to Ms. Quan on her resounding victory, to Mr. Bacyadan for his historic accomplishment in qualifying for the Games, to Hiltz and Quinn for their representation on the highest stage, and to every athlete living up to the highest standards of competition and character.

We’re not gonna let bigots ruin these Games for us. They don’t get to have that power.

I need someone to explain to me like I’m 5 years old.

It was confirmed that is she born a biological woman but testing showed elevated levels of testosterone. If we are saying elevated levels of testosterone makes you a biological man, does that mean ‘women’ who suffer from acne, PCOS, diabetes, alopecia and infertility linked to Hyperandrogenism makes them men? Or is this only in regard to Sporting events when the winning woman has this condition.

If you think fertilized eggs are people but parents who've crossed the oceans with their kids aren't, stop pretending your concerns are religious.

I am so sorry but genuinely from the depths of my soul I cannot stand this woman and everything she stands for. Imagine being so out of touch that you think THIS is funny and relatable.

Last year, Doug Ford gave 43 of his MPPs a raise of $16,600 each, while he continued to fight nurses in court to keep Bill 124, a wage suppression legislation that was deemed unconstitutional by an Ontario court.

So, you want me to feel sorry for Steve Clark, who still gets to keep his cozy MPP job while making more than nurses who save lives daily? Nurses are losing their homes and resorting to foodbanks. Steve only lost a feather from his hat. He remains well off as an MPP. #Accountability #GreenbeltScandal #Greenbelt
