Also can we stop framing "the fight for our rights" (regardless of who "we" may be) as an object of the mythicized Community History? WE are Literally Fighting For Our Rights NOW, lgbt history did not end with Stonewall or in the 70s/80s/90s or with the legalization of gay marriage, in the same way Puerto Rican history did not end with the Grito de Lares or with Luis Muñoz Marin or with the Young Lords. You cannot look at the way people are being treated in this country right now and continue to insist that "the fight for our rights" was all in the past and "the people who fought for our rights" is a solidified, non-dynamic category. I want everyone to stop their performative Gen Z self-hatred and Totally Leftist worship of the cult of (#queer) tradition and be serious for once. What good is "these are the people who literally FOUGHT for your RIGHTS you ingrate" when those "rights" are constantly in threat of being taken away? People are fighting NOW, young people, people who were never in a vintage zine to post on your epic queer history blogs. History is not "all the important stuff happened Back Then, and now we have rights so all the stupid stuff is happening now". History is happening always. "The fight" is happening always

10 VERDADES QUE DIJO ALBIZU CAMPOS 🇵🇷

Don Pedro Albizu Campos, con cada discurso y cada palabra, nos enseñaste a ser verdaderos puertorriqueños, a defender nuestra identidad y a superar el complejo de inferioridad colonial. 🇵🇷 Nos mostraste que la patria es valor y sacrificio. Rescataste el Grito de Lares del olvido, revelando la grandeza de nuestros héroes. Gracias, MAESTRO, por iluminarnos con tu sabiduría.

Gracias a: @salonboricua

Por Berta Joubert-Ceci

Si bien es más conocido fuera de Puerto Rico el Grito de Lares del 1868, la importancia del Levantamiento de Jayuya, es que fue el primer alzamiento armado en contra del invasor yanqui.

Los actos de conmemoración este año fueron muy especiales, porque se daban en un contexto mundial muy doloroso. El genocidio por Israel y Estados Unidos del pueblo palestino. Y para nosotros y nosotras en Puerto Rico, la lucha palestina siempre ha sido una lucha hermana. Ambos somos colonia y a nuestros pueblos se les ha querido desplazar de nuestras tierras, en Puerto Rico con un carácter menos cruento, pero con el mismo fin de adueñarse de nuestra patria. 

[amenordacasa]

Tenho porém contra ti; que abandonaste a tua família.

Tenho a impressão que o grito mentiroso da sociedade corrompida de que; casamento é uma instituição falida, é realidade em alguns lares cristãos.

O ativismo tem feito de maridos e pais e até de mulheres e mães, pessoas irresponsáveis no trato com a sua família. O “trabalhar pra Deus” como se Ele estivesse contratando funcionários, tem sido mais importante do que o diálogo com a esposa, o excesso de carga horária tem sido substituído o brincar com os filhos…

Sinto dentro de mim, que haverá um dia que muitos se apresentarão diante de Deus com seus cartões de ponto, e o Senhor dirá: - Eu conheço as tuas obras, e o teu trabalho árduo; tenho porém contra ti, que abandonaste a tua família.

Deus olhará envolta de nós e procurará o cônjuge, ele observará e verá se gastamos tempo com nossos filhos, se houve ensino no lar como queremos ensinar no púlpito, se a dedicação e a paciência foram a mesma…

Deus nos chamou como noiva, para se casar com o noivo (Jesus). E não noiva que se casa com noiva (igreja). Amamos a igreja de Cristo e servimos a ela, mas não precisamos dar a nossa vida por Ela, Cristo já o fez!

De contra partida, devemos amar a nossa família, servir a ela e zelar por ela.

Para um dia ouvirmos; conheço as tuas obras e eis que diante de ti pus pessoas, sua família. E ninguém a podes cuidar, se não você, tendo pouca força não negaste essa missão…

O ativismo destrói famílias, mas o equilíbrio e o entendimento de que seu maior ministério é a sua família constrói uma igreja forte.

History

7th-11th centuries - Taíno culture

1493 - arrival of Columbus

1868 - Grito de Lares

1873 - abolishment of slavery

1898 - U.S. invasion

1900 - Foraker Act

1914 - independence vote

1917 - Jones-Shafroth Act

1922 - foundation of the Nationalist Party of Puerto

1946 - creation of the Puerto Rican Independence Party

1952 - Puerto Rico becomes a free associated state

1976 - formation of the Boricua Popular Army

1990 - launch of the Socialist Front

2004 - creation of the Hostosian National Independence Movement

2012 - status referendum

2020 - statehood referendum

Rebellions and revolts in Puerto Rico were already present during the Spanish colonization. The most important one was the Grito de Lares or Lares uprising as a result of an economic crisis. It led to the adoption of the first Puerto Rican flag.

After the 1898 Spanish-American War, Puerto Rico became a U.S. possession as an unincorporated organized territory. Soon after, the Foraker Act allowed some measure of civilian popular government. The 1917 Jones-Shafroth Act granted citizenship to Puerto Ricans born after 1898.

The 2012 referendum posed three alternatives: statehood, independence, or free association. Almost two-thirds voted for statehood, a decision that was confirmed by the 2020 referendum.

Puerto Ricans

There are around 9 million Puerto Ricans, of which only 3.2 million live in Puerto Rico. 6 million additional Puerto Ricans live in the diaspora.

They speak English and Spanish, the two official languages of Puerto Rico. The main religion is Catholicism, but there are Protestant groups as well.

Vocabulary

Ejército Popular Boricua - Boricua Popular Army

Frente Socialista - Socialist Front

Movimiento Independentista Nacional Hostosiano - Hostosian National Independence Movement

Partido Independentista Puertorriqueño - Puerto Rican Independence Party

Partido Nacionalista de Puerto Rico - Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico

puertorriqueño/-a - Puerto Rican

[Lares disfuncionais e tóxicos]

Há jovens que acordam com sinais roxos

Há jovens que acordam com gritos altos

Há jovens que acordam com medo de viver

Há jovens que ouvem ofensas e desprezos

Há jovens que são abusados apenas por prazer

Há jovens que são negligenciados e sozinhos

Há jovens que são maltratados e humilhados

Há jovens que são mortos sem poder se defender

Há jovens que são torturados e escravizados

Há jovens que são...

Quantos mais "Há jovens que são..." precisam se humilhar, para que os próprios pais deixem de serem os principais vilões da vida?

residencia:  vivió alrededor del mundo, la mayor parte en rusia debido a la empresa de logística que tiene su padre. siendo el hermano mayor, tuvo que cumplir la mayoría de responsabilidades viajando en proyectos nuevos y tratos con clientes externos. llegó al pueblo para mejorar la estructura vial y durante ese proyecto conoció a solei, quién es la madre de su hijo de 5 años. reacio a la paternidad, luego de tres años entre idas y vueltas decidió comprarse una casa en el pueblo para estar cerca de riley, además de involucrarse con varias restauraciones alrededor de la ciudad.

curiosidades:  nació en una familia técnicamente acomodada económicamente, la empresa de su padre se encargaba de llevar cargas pesadas: barcos, turbinas, transformadores, piezas de aviones y demás, alrededor del mundo. siendo el primero de su familia, tuvo que acompañar en la empresa desde pequeño, siendo testigo de charlas empresariales, acuerdos, firmas, reuniones y decisiones. no lo sabía pero ya estaba escrito que el puesto de su padre era suyo. siendo lo único que conocía, no pudo abstenerse sino encontrar la forma de que sea más llevadero. boyd siempre tuvo una personalidad extrovertida, con alma de líder y sabiendo como encantar a la gente con mentiras. desde pequeño supo su poder, más que nada con el sexo opuesto y su adolescencia fue la prueba clave de esto. sin ataduras, fue envolviéndose en universidad, luego su trabajo pero las consecuencias llegaron cuando tuvo 28. esta joven, que a penas conocía le mostró la prueba de embarazo positiva y lejos de huir, decidió quedarse. el que estuvo en contra fue su padre, quién puso el grito en el cielo y le pidió que volviera a rusia pero boyd le propuso expandir el negocio familiar por estos lares. entre viajes de rusia al pueblo, del pueblo a otros países, decidió establecerse por fin aunque la vida allí no le gustaba. sabía que era necesario parar, calmar su vida y riley llegó para eso, mostrándole que había cosas más importantes que los negocios, el amor esporádico y dinero. si bien su naturaleza sigue ahí, soplando sobre su nuca, boyd mantiene un perfil bajo.

2: riley lynseko, 5 años, hijo : quizás es la única persona con la que puede ser el mismo, más allá de su fachada. sin dudas es su debilidad y ante cualquier emergencia es capaz de dejar todo para estar a su lado. es su mejor amigo y trata de darle la mejor vida posible, siempre enseñándole a ser buena persona, silenciosamente no queriendo que pase por las mismas situaciones que él. riley no conoce mucho a su familia paterna, debido a la desaprobación de su papá pero suelen enviarle regalos, cartas, a veces llamados. si bien es pequeño para entender, algún día le explicará el caos de su vida, sus viajes, de por qué todo sucedió así. por dentro no cree ser el mejor padre pero lo intenta.
