there's a video circulating of a so-called "comedian" at a Trump rally saying, and I quote: "There’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico." So with that, let me introduce myself. Hi, my name is Rania. I was born, raised, and still live in Puerto Rico. I’m writing this because I need to rant about what we face here. Puerto Rico is officially a U.S. territory, or more specifically, an unincorporated territory. This essentially makes us the last colony in the world (look it up if you’d like). We don’t have sovereignty, we can’t vote for the U.S. president, we fight in the US military, but we still pay federal taxes. For over a century, we’ve been colonized and exploited. Our women were once used in forced birth control experiments, and we’re currently experiencing heavy gentrification that displaces locals and erases our culture. Our history has been whitewashed to cast the U.S. in a better light. When Hurricane María, a Category 5 storm, struck the island in 2017, it left a devastating impact that we’re still recovering from. Our power grid is fragile, with constant blackouts nearly every week. In the aftermath of the hurricane, Puerto Ricans pleaded for help. And what did we get? Donald Trump came down here—to toss rolls of paper towels to us. This actually happened; you can look it up. And while we struggle, local politicians mismanage funds (rob us) and exploit the system, especially those from the party that pushes for statehood. Puerto Rico deserves better than this colonial status and the constant overlooking of our struggles. We are resilient, but it’s time people understood the reality we live in. This is just the tip of the iceberg. While this is what’s generally known, most people don’t realize that often the only way things get done is through singers and artists who create businesses to help our communities, because the government fails to take action.

You invade us, you exploit us, you erase our identity, you abandon us and still, you have the audacity to applaud this.

I want to live on this island! I refuse to be just another young person who leaves because I can’t find a job or because the cost of living is skyrocketing! We keep talking, protesting, and fighting just to survive, and yet nothing changes. The U.S. still sees us as nothing more than a floating island of garbage. It’s infuriating!

We. Deserve. Better. Than. This.

lmao la gente está bien encojona' con la cantidad de gente que estuvo en el cierre de campaña de la alianza, diciendo que nadie hubiese estado allí si no estuvieran los artistas (el cierre fue tipo híbrido de festival de música-manifestación política. cuando se terminaba un acto músico entraba un candidato y explicaba sus políticas, y cuando terminaba el candidato entraba el artista y cantaba, ese fue el ciclo hasta el final de la noche). y sí, ok, uno puede argumentar que los artistas que trajeron contribuyeron a la cantidad de personas que llegaron al cierre (bad bunny fue el más destacado, y dio su completo endorso a la alianza mientras habló sobre su ira con como la corrupción del bipartidismo ha llevado a puerto rico a la ruina en las pasadas décadas) pero negar que el soporte y el apoyo a la alianza en esta escala es genuino y orgánico es ridículo. las más de 50,000 personas que llegaron al cierre de la alianza hubiesen llegado con o sin la participación de bad bunny. y mientras estamos en este hilo de pensamiento, pregúntense ustedes,  ¿por qué los cierres de los otros partidos lucían abandonados y tristes en comparación con el de la alianza?

how is this even possible?

for Puerto Rico, somehow a corrupt governor candidate in the most corrupt party in Puerto Rican history won the elections

for USA, a convicted felon, who clearly doesn’t give a shit about women and will probably take away our reproductive rights, won the elections

and all of these things are just the tip of the iceberg…

Elige a Juan Dalmau y manda los corruptos a freir espárragos.

Despierta boricua. Date a respetar.

This is a conversation about our future—about our access to affordable, reliable, and clean energy. But it’s also a conversation about profit for US corporations.

Desplazamiento, privatización de playas y crisis energética en Puerto Rico

El candidato responde a preguntas de cómo atendería los temas abordados en el reportaje parte del video musical El Apagón de Bad Bunny si es electo gobernador de Puerto Rico.

[ankle-beez]

La Alianza ha dado un cierre de campaña para la historia. Todo el mundo que se presentó en la tarde de hoy en esa tarima, desde los candidatos hasta los artistas hasta el mismo Dalmau, dejaron un mensaje claro y con confianza -- el pueblo de Puerto Rico quiere y merece un cambio, libre de la corrupción y el daño que ha traído el bipartidismo por décadas. Sean sabios, mi gente, y voten bien el martes. Arriba mi islita 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
