Bad Bunny touched on two really important things in his brief comment; the Americanness of Latinos and the meaning of family within the community.

This is literally only a problem if one sees Mexico as a hostile entity and Mexicanness as irreconciliable with Americanness.

For American democracy to survive, we must as a country learn to embrace the beauty, the awesomeness, the Americanness of our cities.
Homey little songs about how cities are amazing and you feel good when you wander around them and they're where you're from and you couldn't imaging living anywhere else are one of my favorite microgenres.
We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Very bad, getting worse.
(1) direct from Trump, so it’s the administration’s policy
(2) many to come
(3) conflation of material support for terrorism with generalized anti-Americanness
(4) no recognition of distinctive legal protections for green card holders
Terrifying.

"Americanness (an identity that, when embraced, is indistinct from mania)"
Fuck that's a good line.

Bad Bunny didn’t just ask for a seat at the table.
He flipped it over and brought in a bigger one.
A new America is emerging with a more expansive view of patriotism, love of country and Americanness.
It’s coming! It’s here! Whether you like it or not.

“Not-Americanness” is actually one of the best bases for the nation-state.
A Douthat special, in which he dismisses Canada's nationhood: "not-Americanness finally ceased to be a plausible basis for a nation-state." Ugly American.

Really, really, don't understand the humiliation kink of that fucking newspaper, so insecure about their own claim to being american that they have to ask rural yahoos for validation of their americanness. Rural white yahoos are a tiny and shrinking minority!

The irony of a conditional American like "Ilan Wurman" gleefully demanding entire classes of others be robbed of Americanness should not be lost on anyone.
I copy edited this article in law school. Wurman’s article is identical to the arguments made about Italians and Jews a hundred years ago.

Since Trump is making the border evaluate 5 years of social media history for "anti-Americanness" for anyone trying to enter the US: I am anti US wars, US genocide, US torturing, US human rights abuses, US abuse of the dollar, US interventions, US oligarchy, US media hegemony, basically most of it.

Please be aware that they're going to come for Harris with anti-Asian and anti-immigrant racism, too, folks. Racists have always painted Asian Americans as perpetual foreigners. They'll question her Americanness and her citizenship. Be ready to demand journalists label that as the racism that it is.

"The core point here is that billionaires like the Ellisons and their sycophantic boot-lickers like Bari Weiss all sincerely, truly believe that they speak for the real, true core of Americanness."
the ratings collapse at CBS is not all part of the plan; Weiss and Ellison are both humiliating themselves in ways that harm them and fascism in general. also Bari might well get fired. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/bari-weiss...

"We proved our Americanness by cracking the right heads" is something you'll hear guys say proudly in some of Chicago's Irish-American neighborhoods.
People willl write a lot about the surnames of these agents, but as I wrote in Police and the Empire City, immigrants and descendants that become cops do so for social, cultural, and racial mobility—becoming “whiter” by proving they can do racial violence on behalf of the state, even against kin.
