Can a superstar be an actual voice of resistance?
When it comes to the singer Bad Bunny, some say yes.
Bad Bunny comes out of a long legacy of Puerto Rican music and Puerto Rican art as resistance.

The federal government is heading toward another partial shutdown,
unless there's a deal soon on paying for the Department of Homeland Security.
But the top issue, a top House Democrat, rather,
says the negotiations have stalled, and Pierre's Luke Garrett reports.
Democrats demand changes to DHS after its agents killed two Minnesotans in January.
Minority leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakim Jeffries want a requirement for judicial warrants,
better identification for DHS officers, and new use of force standards.
Last week, Senate Majority Leader John Thune called the demands, quote, unrealistic.
And Jeffries tells CNN this Sunday, the two sides aren't talking.
Unfortunately,
we haven't heard back from the White House or Mike Johnson or Speaker or Leader Thune in terms of the demands that we've put on the table.
The DHS funding deadline is midnight Friday.
Its agencies like the Coast Guard, the TSA and FEMA would be affected if funding lapses.
Meanwhile, DHS's mass deportation agenda would still have money to operate despite the shutdown.
