A clip went around social media last week of a kid at his high school in Illinois shouting about how he's pro-ICE durning an anti-ICE protest. In comes another kid saying "I'm going to punch you" and then he does just that. I'm not so much interested in the veracity of that story in as much as what it means to stoke violence, then hide behind the law. The pro-ICE kid that's filming says "If you punch me, you'll get in trouble..." So be it.

Reaction formation is a post-Freudian defense mechanism that comes up when a person feels, whether real or imagined, a sense of rejection and, rather than acknowledging the feeling, tells themselves that they didn't want the thing they requested in the first place. Since the Turning Point halftime show was neither Christian, wholesome or better than the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show, one has to wonder, besides good old fashioned racism, what is actually going on in their minds and hearts to even feel the need to have their own performance?

I had to call in our in-house boriqua Becca Ramos, host of the newly-launched podcast Welcome to El Barrio, to talk through the full effect of what Bad Bunny truly means to the culture and the impact of his generational Super Bowl halftime performance.

So Nicki Minaj, plot twist, might not actually be MAGA-pilled, she just wanted that Trump gold card. It turns out she's wasn't a citizen of the US, but now she is. It only cost her $1.5 million and the safety of her community. I hope she's happy!
