plus DSA's field operation, modern day colonialism, and the criminalization of reggaeton

Bad Bunny’s iconic Super Bowl halftime show was rooted in deep symbolism of Puerto Rican pride and independence. Alexa Aviles -- a socialist New York City Council Member born in Puerto Rico and representing Sunset Park and Red Hook in Brooklyn -- joined the inaugural episode of Scene Report on Newtown Radio to break down the groundbreaking performance. We talked PR’s electric grid, the sugarcane industry, #RickyRenuncia, the Américas, and the modern day colonial privatization of Puerto Rico. We also spoke about the rise of Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the City Council Speaker’s race, and immigration and ICE in New York City. Recorded live at Newtown Radio.
