<p>The political landscape can be confusing, but it doesn't have to be. If you've survived junior high, lived in an urban city or understand gang life, you can understand geopolitics. Join rapper and author Propaganda and his friends as they use their hood-knowledge to break down the political scene. </p>
You might have noticed, as Kristi Noem gets removed from her position, that Trump is just letting all these women go out in front and take all the bullets for him. It may come off like he’s hiring a bunch of women and putting them in powerful positions, but he’s actually putting them in impossible positions and making them take the fall for him. These women are participating in their own subjugation. From one marginalized people group to another...you gotta know when you being pimped.

Well obviously there's been a change of plans, because apparently we're at war with Iran. We briefly touch on this reality and how we got here. Then we move on to the domestic issue of tariffs. Finally, while they still not invited to the bbq, the SCOTUS did hand Trump the biggest L of his term. Imma break it down.

Peekaboo! Prop's got a couple thoughts on the State of the Union address. While most of it was exactly what we all expected, Trump did slide in a small, easy to miss diss to everyone in the room. Let's talk about it.

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.

As more details come into focus from the Epstein files, it'e becoming clear that his game was way more hood than meets the eye.

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!

Of course, at Davos, President Trump had a lot to say about everything. But during Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech, he finally addressed the elephant in the room: we can't trust the USA and we need to stop pretending like we can.
