A couple that was in the bottom of the most compatible couples is going to the finale. A couple whose family completely disapproved of them is going to the finale. A couple where one half had to be brought back in after elimination is going to the finale lol.

James Van Der Beek just passed from colorectal cancer, which has the second highest treatment cost of any cancer. Last year he auctioned off memorabilia from his tv and film career in order to pay for the staggering costs of his treatment

His family is now left to deal with the burden of his passing, both emotionally and financially.

US health care is THE most expensive globally and medical debt is still the number one reason for personal bankruptcy in this country. Millions of Americans (which include successful 90s television actors) are struggling every day under this for profit system that is designed to continuously reap enormous profits for the multi billion dollar companies within it. James’ family should not have to worry about staying financially afloat as they mourn his loss, just as no family or individual should face the reality of being one medical emergency away from losing everything.

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!👏🏽

Jake Paul calls Bad Bunny a 'fake American' for being born in Puerto Rico.

Jake Paul currently lives in Puerto Rico to avoid paying American Taxes.

You cant make this up.

FINNEAS defends sister Billie Eilish amid online backlash over her anti-ICE comments at GRAMMYs:

“Seeing a lot of very powerful old white men outraged about what my 24 year old sister said during her acceptance speech. We can literally see your names in the Epstein files.”

[beck @unrivaled]

she's really #that girl to me. she's never shaken up by these freaks and will continue to confront them head on.

Finneas calls out conservative hypocrisy regarding gun laws and the death of Alex Pretti at the hands of federal agents:

“The conservative argument that allows school shootings to continue has always basically boiled down to, ‘We have to protect the second amendment. We have to allow people to carry weapons… legally.’ […] Every argument I’ve seen for why Alex Pretti’s death was ‘justified’ yesterday is like, ‘Well he had a gun.’ Shut the f**k up! You’ve spent 30 years straight telling us that children have to die so that we’re allowed to legally carry weapons everywhere in the United States. This guy was being beaten to a pulp on the ground, he didn’t draw his weapon. He had a weapon on him LEGALLY. And they shot the f**k out of him.”

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: Protesters in Los Angeles just projected an anti-ICE video onto a building.

And it wasn’t just any building.

It was Twin Towers, an ICE-linked detention facility where LASD actively collaborates with ICE for deportation screening.

This is what resistance looks like when people stop pretending everything is normal.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

You cheered these guys on though…

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Do you hear yourself??

Your federal agents shot a man ten times and you’re complaining about their fucking lunch being interrupted??

What the fuck is wrong with you??

[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.

[Theo Baker @tab_delete]

Reminder that this guy showed up to a protest and *actually shot* three people only to be celebrated by Donald Trump.

[daeja ⋆ @lcveslucy]

people who had so much to say about ch*rlie k*rk suddenly having nothing to say about the brutal murders carried out by ICE the selective outrage/empathy is very telling…

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

BREAKING: Kristi Noem claims that Alex Pretti approached ICE with a gun.

What she doesn’t say is that he had a right to carry that gun and a license to carry that gun.

What she also doesn’t say is that he never pulled that gun out on officers.

And of course, what she doesn’t mention is the fact that he didn’t have the gun any longer when officers shot and killed him.

There’s no reason to fire defensive shots if the man is unarmed.

[Spencer Althouse @SpencerAlthouse]

SNL just commented on ICE during Weekend Update:

Michael Che: "I get that ICE agents are people...allegedly...and they have a job to do, but at some point while you're pepper spraying old ladies or shooting at a nurse, do you ever stop to ask yourself, 'Are we dicks?'"

[Scru🇳🇬 @scrufacejean]

Kendrick Lamar spoke english and had a red white & blue theme. They got mad. Beyoncé spoke english and literally did a COUNTRY MUSIC half time show. They got mad. At some point you gotta just admit it got nothin to do with the language, and everything to do with you being a racist xenophobe. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like. https://t.co/uts7JpJZzN

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Buying and controlling media platforms.

Firing commentators.

Canceling shows.

These aren’t coincidences.

It’s coordinated. And it’s dangerous.

The @GOP does not believe in free speech.

They are censoring you in real time.

A young black man was found hanging from a tree at Delta State University TODAY. Where the fuck is the public outrage for him?????????

Trey Reed was his name.
