The Real Reason America Keeps Puerto Rico Poor

America knows exactly what the Jones act has done and its time for it to end. Either give Puerto Rico Statehood or Economic Freedom. enough of this dis-infranchisement for millions. Taxation should Include Representation

[artificial-espionage]

"...I'm not trying to trick anyone right now. We're not fighting right now." In Milo's mind it wasn't the time to be deceptive right now, and had no reason to be deceptive. He looked curiously at the burning cigarette. He did like how Rico wasn't littering.

"No thank you. You know...Smoking can cause all sorts of adverse health effects such as, but not limited to; differences in tasting and smelling abilities, lower lung capacity, cancers of various kinds including mouth, throat, and lung cancers, stroke, heart disease, constricts arteries, high blood pressure, COPD which is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, bronchitis, possible vision problems..." He's just going to rattle on and on about it like fucking Siri.

...is there anything that’s worth more?

The grass was soft, lush green like a carpet. The young leaves in the towering treetops provided a natural canopy, though not as much shade as they would in a month or so, sunlight beaming through like stained glass. Birdsong carried on a light breeze, the babbling of the creek in the near distance creating a soft white noise, just audible. Rico lay in the middle of it all, hands tucked behind his head, eyes closed. His expression, for once, was one of gentle peace. He was at a high point in his life- he had more people who cared for him than he ever had before. Friends. Found family. The new spring grass he was laying on was cool, but as soft as the vision of safe feathers he’d had. Spring, huh. A time where cold, static death was defeated by the rising of warm, new life. Sure, that usually meant leaves and flowers and grass and baby animals. But Rico could feel it within himself as well. That desire he’d grown so intimately familiar with, that constant pleading to some degree for blessed, eternal oblivion… it wasn’t there. He really, truly wanted to be alive.

Poor People’s Art: A (Short) Visual History of Poverty in the United States at USF Contemporary Art Museum in Tampa uses installations and artworks to tell the story of, and expand perspectives on, The Poor People’s Campaign- from its origins in the late 1960s to the present day form, as well as comment on poverty and other social issues. Both educational and engaging, it shows that despite long struggles and some progress, we are still very far from much needed social change, especially in regards to poverty.

The museum also produced a free full color, 48 page workbook that you can pick up there or download as a PDF that can be downloaded from their website.

From the gallery’s website-

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is well known for his “I Have a Dream” speech, yet much less emphasis is placed on his campaign to seek justice for America’s poor, “The Poor People’s Campaign.” This was a multi-cultural, multi-faith, multi-racial movement aimed at uniting poor people and their allies to demand an end to poverty and inequality. Fifty-three years after Dr. King’s death, the Reverend William Barber II launched a contemporary push to fulfill MLK’s ambitious brief — one that calls for a “revolution of values” that unites poor and impacted communities across the country. The exhibition Poor People’s Art: A (Short) Visual History of Poverty in the United States represents a visual response to Dr. King’s “last great dream” as well as Reverend Barber’s recent “National Call for Moral Revival.”

With artworks spanning more than 50 years, the exhibition is divided into two parts: Resurrection (1968-1994) and Revival (1995-2022). Resurrection includes photographs, paintings, prints, videos, sculptures, books, and ephemera made by a radically inclusive company of American artists, from Jill Freedman’s photographs of Resurrection City, the tent enclave that King’s followers erected on the National Mall in 1968, to John Ahearns’ plaster cast sculpture Luis Fuentes, South Bronx (1979). Revival offers contemporary engagement across a range of approaches, materials, and points of view. Conceived in a declared opposition to poverty, racism, militarism, environmental destruction, health inequities, and other interlocking injustices, this exhibition shows how artists in the US have visualized poverty and its myriad knock-on effects since 1968. Participating artists include John Ahearn, Nina Berman, Martha De la Cruz, Jill Freedman, Rico Gatson, Mark Thomas Gibson, Corita Kent, Jason Lazarus, Miguel Luciano, Hiram Maristany, Narsiso Martinez, Adrian Piper, Robert Rauschenberg, Rodrigo Valenzuela, William Villalongo & Shraddha Ramani, and Marie Watt.

From the museum’s wall plaque about the images from the artists above-

A multimedia visual artist whose work explores themes of history, popular culture, and social justice, Miguel Luciano revisits the history of the Young Lords, a revolutionary group of young Puerto Rican activists who organized for social justice in their communities beginning in the late 1960s. Luciano’s first contribution to Poor People’s Art is a vinyl banner from the public art project Mapping Resistance: The Young Lords in El Barrio (2019), a collaboration with artist Hiram Maristany. It features the photograph “Young Lords Member with Pa’lante Newspaper (1970)” by Maristany, who was the official photographer of the Young Lords and a founding member of the New York chapter. This banner, along with nine other enlarged Maristany photographs, were installed throughout East Harlem at the same locations where their history occurred 50 years prior.

Luciano’s second contribution to Poor People’s Art is the sculpture The People’s Pulpit (2022), a repurposed vintage pulpit from the First Spanish Methodist Church in East Harlem. The Young Lords famously took over the church in 1969 and renamed it “The People’s Church”; they hosted free breakfast programs, clothing drives, health screenings, and other community services there. In this exhibition, The People’s Pulpit features an historic recording of Nuyorican poet Pedro Pietri reciting the celebrated poem Puerto Rican Obituary during the Young Lord’s takeover of The People’s Church.

The central sculpture in the second photo-

Afro-Taino artist Martha De la Cruz fashioned her sculptural installation Techo de sin (Roof of Without), 2021, from stolen, scavenged and donated materials found in Southwest Florida. According to the artist, “Florida is home to a large population of Latin American migrants who have ended up in the US largely due to economic pressures, exploitation and veins of power etched by Europe and the US.” Her powerful work deals with the results of this disjunction and the “symptoms thereabouts (e.g. houselessness, fugitiv-ity, government corruption, and income disparity, etc.).” According to De la Cruz, the word “sin” is a common Dominican mispronunciation for the word “zinc.” The sculpture is animated by a single light bulb that turns on for just ten minutes a day.

From the wall plaque about the Lazarus installation (structure in the 3th, 5th and 6th photos)-

Jason Lazarus’s sculptural installation Resurrection City/Poor People’s Campaign: A National call for Moral Revival/A Third Reconstruction (2023) is anchored in the artist’s historical research and several key photographs of Resurrection City. A tent-like shelter inspired by the temporary residences that populated the 1968 mass protest, the interactive sculpture contains simple sleeping quarters and a curated library filled with physical literature and ephemera centered on both the 1968 Poor People’s Campaign and the 2018 Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, co-led by Rev. Dr.William Barber and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis.

The library allows for audiences to trace, listen, and talk about the history of advocating for the poor, from 1865 to the present. Additionally, the artist provides a custom transcription (and a QR hyperlink) to Barber’s 49-minute address on the syndicated radio show “The Breakfast Club” in which he carefully outlines his powerful vision for how we might address poverty going forward.

About Jill Freedman’s photograph above-

In the spring of 1968, the talented young street photographer Jill Freedman quit her day job as a copywriter in New York City to join the Poor People’s March on Washington. Freedman lived in Resurrection City for the entire six weeks of the encampment’s existence, photographing its residents as they rallied, made speeches, protested in front of government buildings, confronted police, built makeshift kitchens, organized clothing swaps, and dealt with flooding, petty crime, and illness. One of the most important postwar documentarians, and one of the few women photographers of the era, Freedman captured it all. Freedman’s 2017 book, Resurrection City, 1968-from which this exhibition draws a dozen powerful images-showcases the photographs that she made as a participant in the original Poor People’s Campaign. In multiple ways, Freedman’s images are the sympathetic perch upon much of which much of the present exhibition loosely hangs.

This exhibition closes 3/4/23.

the dragon fucking BIT me today. sassy little freak I was literally just trying to give him a bath

[cegodaltonico]

"A ideologia do controle populacional é simplesmente uma combinação de dois fatos: (i) as pessoas produzem a riqueza econômica e o poder militar; (ii) os abastados têm famílias menores. Como bons darwinistas eles [os ricos] perceberam que a população com a maior taxa de fertilidade iria finalmente substituir a população com a menor taxa. A partir dessa percepção atemorizante nasceu a ideia do controle populacional."

E. Michael Jones

[kreture-komforts]

Yes, exactly!!!

Israel is a literal nuclear power, armed by the western world to do what colonizers have done for centuries: commit genocide.

Semantics about how indigenous peoples organize and resist During A Genocide does nothing to help liberate them, and actually only empowers the occupiers to keep us divided on who the real villains are.

Biden did not call for a permanent ceasefire. He called for Israel to “put more effort into protecting civilians and aid workers.” He did not give any specific steps as to how, nor did he specify what the repercussions would be if Israel failed to meet those standards. We have been here before.

Things the Biden-Harris Administration Did This Week #37

Oct 4-11 2024

President Biden announced a new EPA rule that will require all lead pipes in America's drinking water systems to be replace with-in 10 years. This builds on the $15 billion the Biden-Harris Administration has already invested in replacing lead pipes nation wide. The administration's focus on this issue has allowed local governments to greatly execrate their lead pipe replacement plans, before Biden took office the city of Milwaukee's timeline for replacing its lead pipes was 60 years, they're now on track to do it in 10. The EPA says there's no safe level of lead in the human body.

Vice President Harris announced she plans to expand Medicare to cover home health care. Currently those who need long term care, are covered by Medicaid, the health program for the poor so have to spend all their savings before they can qualify. This change would allow more seniors to stay in their homes and offer support to caregiving family members. Medicare also covers the disabled thus proving a game changer for the disabled Americans and their families. The Vice President also endorsed expanding Medicare to cover the costs of hearing and vision care.

Medicare released a preliminary list of 101 generic drugs which it would cover that would cost no more than $2 for a month for enrollees. People have long lobbied to allow Medicare to pay for generic drugs which has been resisted by drug companies. Thanks to President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, and in line with a Biden Executive Order Medicare is now working on bring low cost generic drugs to seniors. The list targets some of the most common prescriptions thus will bring savings to the most people.

Domestic Policy Advisor Neera Tanden announced that the Biden-Harris Administration had blown past its goal of hiring 250,000 student support staff for 2024. The joint effort by the Department of Education, AmeriCorps and Everyone Graduates Center managed to hire 320,000 tutors, mentors, student success coaches, postsecondary transition coaches, and student support coordinators nationwide, its goal for the end of 2025.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development announced $420 million to help get rid of lead paint and other lead hazards from homes. HUD estimates that over 3 million households that have children under the age of 6 live with lead hazards. HUDs grants will go to all 50 states, DC, and Puerto Rico with particular focus on low income housing.

[friendlywurms]

One time a guy wanted me to tattoo the Gadsden snake on him. He was a Puerto Rican guy with family in Puerto Rico and it was a few months after the hurricane decimated the island (I think it was hurricane Maria). Told him, “holy shit, I hope your family is okay after that hurricane!”

He said “oh yeah my family is fine, they lived in the nice area and the hurricane didn’t really affect them. Most of the people who died were just poor people anyway.”

Anyway, fuck libertarians lmao

[cleaner-in-grey]

He blushed brightly at the almost uttered compliment and just got up from his loafed position. Well...he did think that Rico was rather cute himself. Plus he looked very fluffy with that short hair of his. Rudolf wanted to ruffle it, but wouldn't because that would be....a bit odd. He didn't know if Rico would be comfortable with it.

"O-Okay.." He followed him, looking forward to seeing what kind of place he stayed in. He was expecting a bit rugged, but still pretty nice.

"Oi! The jerky I made outta that big ol' buck I bagged the other day's all done. Came out crackin' good if I say so meself. Want some?" Grinning crookedly, Rico holds the bag out, blissfully unaware that his friend's been through an... interesting time. Or rather, times. Tilting his head, he frowned. "...wot's with the getup? Y'alroight?"

He looked over towards the sniper with wide fearful eyes, shaking just a little bit like a frightened dog. The jerky though, it was very tempting. The bird man sloooowly inches over, ready to run if necessary, even fly. He felt that if he want slow enough the other wouldn't notice him.

[nowimjustastranger]

Is there a dimension where Ford had to go save a Stan from the trunk his canon self had to chew his way out of? Maybe one where Rico’s men left the Stanmobile in a rougher biome, like the desert; meaning poor Stan would be slowly cooked from inside if he doesn’t get out in time ; ;

I’d imagine he’d be pretty hurt even outside of his oral injuries from the beating Rico’s lackeys gave him before leaving him to die, plus having a panic attack after being trapped inside what’s practically his coffin for the entire car ride to the desert..

How would Ford handle this situation, if the dimension existed? Does he think to remove his intimidating helmet before opening the trunk, or accidentally end up spooking Stan worse? Is he able to heal the damage to Stan’s teeth, or does he help him afford a proper set of dental implants?

I have a work similar to this one planned for the series but it's not exactly the same so I don't feel like I'd spoiler anything by exploring this scenario.

Ford would forget to take the helmet off in his rush to get Stan out of the trunk as soon as possible, using a collapsible baton made of alien metal to force the trunk open. Ford wouldn't even realize why Stan was fighting him as he pulled the delirious man out of the trunk until Stan's hand sloppily shoved at his helmet, then Ford would carefully lower Stan to the sand before tearing his helmet off and cupping Stan's face to get the man's hazy eyes to focus on him. When Stan processed just who he's looking at, he's go limp and pliant, letting Ford assess his physical state before carrying him through a portal to the nearest motel. Ford would address Stan's high temperature by using the air conditioning to gradually lower it, tampering with the device to fit his needs. Next, he'd give Stan a painkiller and tend to any injuries that Stan got during the beating, slathering his open wounds and bruises with ointments. The bigger wounds he'd use a serum or his handy penlight on, making sure Stan's condition was stable. Lastly, Ford would be seething as he examined Stan's broken teeth, using a sedative on Stan so he could remove the damaged teeth and use them to create clones that he could carefully reinsert with an injection to make sure they set. Ford would wait until Stan had fully recovered before dealing with Rico and his gang, methodically dismantling his organization until there was nothing left.

Can you please do after care where gavi was a little bit too rough on the reader but after he takes care of her<333

Ilysm

His turn

You woke up with unimaginable sores from your hips all the way down your legs. Last night was certainly something else, but it left you a lot less capable to properly do something today.

"Mierda!" you groaned trying to move your legs that ached and Pablo stirred waking up himself and smirking towards your gorgeous face.

"Good morning, nena.." his morning voice was you sure kryptonite as you felt goosebump's moving down your spine and your cheeks turn a bright tint of pink. No matter how many times you sleep with Pablo, you will always get nervous around him like this..you can't help yourself!!

"Morning Pablito.." you fake a smile moving closer and touching his face while his eyes closed once more as he puckered his lips waiting for a kiss you happily obliged.

"Hmm..you get me for another day nena. You ready for our second date??" he said and you felt horrible that you really just wanted to stay in bed and recover so you faked being alright like usual.

"Umm..s..sure..what do you want to do??" you asked praying he says just being lazy at home but you knew Pablo isn't the guy to stay in one place for long. He needs to be in constant movement, that's why he's such a good footballer.

"We can walk around that park you like so much? Maybe get some ice cream?" he said but all that you heard is 'walking' which you knew would be a mission impossible in your current case. But you were too embarrassed to tell him anything :/

Just imagine..sorry Pablo, but you fucked me so good last night that I can't stand up right now..yeah you were too shy to say that!!

"Umm..w..walking..with this weather??" you quickly changed the subject from the real reason you dreaded getting out of this bed right now.

"It's not too cold, besides I am always the one who is freezing" he chuckled tucking a strand of your hair behind your ear and noticed your face dropping as if you were unsure of how to tell him something important. He knew you too well to let this go..

"Is something wrong, nena??" he asked raising up your chin as you gulped knowing that you had to be honest when he was looking at you like that..not to mention that there is no way you can get out of this bed today!!

"Um..can we just stay in bed all day porfavor??" you ask shyly trying to avoid the reason and Pablo smiled snaking his strong arm around your waist and starting to kiss your neck passionately..yeah he definitely didn't get it!!

"I thought I really treated you last night..but if you're in the mood then I'd be happy to oblige" he smirked into your skin but you pulled away shaking your head making the boy utterly confused right now.

"Umm..it's not that..you did treat me last night..maybe a little too much..and I..can't.." you were trying to go around it but Pablo was getting only more and more confused.

"I can't feel my legs Pablo!" you spat it out finally making him chuckle and nods his head before moving back and kissing your lips lovingly.

"Aww my poor bomboncita..was I too rough with you last night amorcito??" he asked caressing your blushed cheek and you nodded moving closer to him and hiding your face into his chest.

"I liked it..a lot..but right now everything hurts Pablitoo.." you whine and he nods kissing the top of your head before pulling away to look down into your eyes.

"I'm sorry mi amor.." he said feeling bad to ever bring you pain even though it's a sweet kind of pain.

"It's alright, amor..I really enjoyed it last night..I just need a recovery session today" you say relating it to his football which made him chuckle and pull you closer kissing the top of your head.

"Hmm..for this recovery session, I promise breakfast rico..then a warm bath..then maybe a massage??" he spoke looking down at you to check if you agreed and you just smiled nodding your head at him.

"And cuddles!! Lot's of cuddles, amor.." you say and he nod holding you tight and running his hand through your hair combing it a little and massaging your scalp as a result.

"I'm gonna take good care of you amorcito mio.." he said and after a few minutes of cuddling you, he gave you your phone while leaving to the kitchen to make some breakfast.

When he came back, your stomach was growling already and your phone was long forgotten. He chuckled putting it on the bed before grabbing a toast and bringing it close to your mouth as you bit it with a smile.

"Mm..you should also eat something amor" you said but he sushed you with a kiss smiling when he saw your cheeks blushing. He loved how shy you get whenever he is intimate with you.

"Shh it's my turn amorcito..just eat and I'll get the bath ready" he said getting up and walking to the bathroom to get everything ready.

"Lista princesa??" he said and when you nodded before you could try to get up his arms were already underneath your thighs as he carried you towards the bathroom bridal style.

"I could have tried to walk amor.." you said when he made you sit inside the warm water that felt amazing!!

"You just can't relax and let someone take care of you??" he said and you chuckled while he kissed the top of your head.

"Te amo Pablitoo.." you said and he smiled nodding his head and giving you your favorite book.

"Yo te amo muchisimo mi amor..I will be back when your surprise is ready, bueno? Just relax.." he said and you smiled nodding your head and enjoying some reading while he ran to the nearby florist to grab your favorite bouquet of white orchids.

"Do you want to write something??" girl asked and Pablo was unsure of what to say especially in his messy handwriting. He nodded trying to sound poetic but ended up writing

"To his princesa from her Gavi❤️"

"Amorcito..estas lista??" he said helping you out and dressing you up in his favorite big hoodie and some sweatpants.

"I look like a boy!"you said looking at the mirror at his giant clothes covering both your feet and hands.

"Hm..you're sexy in my clothes preciosa" he said kissing your neck and making you giggle and ask for your surprise.

"Eager, aren't you??" he teased grabbing your hand as you both walked to the kitchen where the bouquet was laid on the table making you gasp and rush to look at it.

"Amor!! It's so beautiful!!" you said realizing the little not stuck on the edge. You knew your boy wasn't much of the writer but even that one sentence meant so much!!

He snuck his arms around you and hid his face int he crook on your neck while you held the card to your chest. You were even tearing up while he left soft kisses all over your skin.

"I'm so sorry I was too rough on you amor.." he said and you turned around in his arms hugging him tightly and leaving small kisses all over his neck.

"Hmm shut up and baby me Gavii!!" you said and he smirked grabbing your thighs and carrying you to the bed for cuddles for the rest of the day.

Belphie to you was somepne you despise, right now and for however long you can hold grudges and bitch be darn yes you do,I mean this man literally killed you even while you were showing empathy and helping him out of the so called prison Lucifer kept him in, such a whiny bitch.

So after you got back to living in your body, what was the first thing you were gonna do? You guest it!

"*SLAP*" as quick as the wind on hurricane season in Puerto Rico you hit him right in his dumbass of a face, everyone stared at you with shock but before they could say anything or the pathetic man you had just slap you went of on him

"HOW DARE YOU KILL ME YOU SAD POOR EXCUSE OF A DEMON!" you poked at his chest "AFTER EVERYTHING I DID TO GET YOU BACK TO SEE YOUR TWIN BROTHER THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME!! HUH IS IT?!?!" Your eyes were filled with blazing rage that would put any of the brother's tantrums to shame..

"Let me tell you something.." you're voice got suddenly calmer "you're lucky I don't have a time matching so that I can HIT YOU in the ballsack the minute you got set free and Belphie" your got close to his face "i hit hard"

You walked out of the room "nobody is allowed in my room in the next 48 hours cause this hoe" you point at yourself "will lose it..more than I already have" you whispered as you made it to your room and locking it.

" That really hurt," Blephie whispered under his breath while rubbing his cheek.

This ones for us and the slap we needed to give him, i may re write this later tho but eh this one is for fun for now
