What this episode covers
Norberto returns as we unpack a complicated week for Latino culture: Willie Colón’s legendary musical impact, the controversy around his later political shift, and how misinformation (especially on Twitter/X) is warping public opinion and even policy. We also talk about the frustration of Latino icons staying quiet while our communities are targeted—and why Bad Bunny’s historic halftime show felt like a powerful moment of pride and unity.
