2nd place team finish ! #WorkInProgress
Trenton Allen just picked off a pass. That’s the boring part. The fun part was the return, where he carried half the stadium about 20 yards to the Tribe 15-yd line.
As the DOJ analysis reflects, if you favor Puerto Rican sovereignty the only options are independence and free association. The time is now to support a free Puerto Rico!
PR #Independence won’t only free us from colonialism and partisan politics that have never answered to Puerto Rico’s interest, it will actually end the 1920 Jones Act and -thanks #DOJ- PROMESA. Under Statehood all of that will remain intact.
The DOJ analyses of #PuertoRico status bills remind us that the U.S. will use its absolute power over PR to maintain the status quo or impose whatever conditions it wants on a status process/alternatives. Only the moral imperative of independence can break through that obstacle.
"Colonialism by consent" is a grotesque concept, and it does not exempt the U.S. from its moral responsibility to free the island from political limbo. But as the #DOJ analyses show today, the U.S. consistently shirks at that responsibility.
It's telling that the DOJ analysis of the Statehood Admission Act spends multiple pages outlining how to ensure PROMESA would continue under statehood. The U.S. isn't concerned with granting rights to Puerto Ricans, but with guaranteeing its continued financial control.
The recent #DOJ report actually states that all previous plebiscites where statehood “won” were disputed and not conclusive. All of these statehood votes were misleading and inaccurate.
The #PRSDA still proposes the most inclusive, democratic and transparent #selfdetermination process. It has more support than the statehood bill in Congress, and 100 organizations support it.
