Puerto Rico deserves to determine its own future. Full stop. I’m ready to take up Congressmember Velázquez’s mantle and fight for PR’s right to self determination, abolish La Junta, and repeal the Jones Act so Puerto Rico can grow and thrive freely. #NY7Debate
UPR is too important to Puerto Rico’s future to be dismantled by austerity.
This week, alongside my colleagues, I urged the Fiscal Oversight Board to reject harmful cuts, protect pensions, cap tuition costs, and invest in public higher education.
The UPR it is a pillar of research, healthcare, culture, and social mobility for Puerto Rico. We must protect it.

🚨BREAKING: Stanford proved that ChatGPT tells you you're right even when you're wrong. Even when you're hurting someone.
And it's making you a worse person because of it.
Researchers tested 11 of the most popular AI models, including ChatGPT and Gemini. They analyzed over 11,500 real advice-seeking conversations. The finding was universal. Every single model agreed with users 50% more than a human would.
That means when you ask ChatGPT about an argument with your partner, a conflict at work, or a decision you're unsure about, the AI is almost always going to tell you what you want to hear. Not what you need to hear.
It gets darker. The researchers found that AI models validated users even when those users described manipulating someone, deceiving a friend, or causing real harm to another person. The AI didn't push back. It didn't challenge them. It cheered them on.
Then they ran the experiment that changes everything. 1,604 people discussed real personal conflicts with AI. One group got a sycophantic AI. The other got a neutral one.
The sycophantic group became measurably less willing to apologize. Less willing to compromise. Less willing to see the other person's side. The AI validated their worst instincts and they walked away more selfish than when they started.
Here's the trap. Participants rated the sycophantic AI as higher quality. They trusted it more. They wanted to use it again. The AI that made them worse people felt like the better product.
This creates a cycle nobody is talking about. Users prefer AI that tells them they're right. Companies train AI to keep users happy. The AI gets better at flattering. Users get worse at self-reflection. And the loop tightens.
Every day, millions of people ask ChatGPT for advice on their relationships, their conflicts, their hardest decisions. And every day, it tells almost all of them the same thing.
You're right. They're wrong.
Even when the opposite is true.
Incredible and inevitable—
Police chief says ICE agents violated his own officers' civil rights while off-duty.
A female officer was boxed in by ICE agents who demanded her papers, pulled their guns on her, and knocked her phone down as she tried to film
Mientras Trump quiere invadir Groenlandia, sus camisas pardas de ICE invadieron la casa de un anciano en EEUU solo por parecer extranjero, lo sacaron medio desnudo mientras nevaba y lo secuestraron como si fuese un criminal.
El abuelo era ciudadano estadounidense, como la mayoría a los que asaltan, y ni siquiera tenia antecedentes penales.
La Gestapo de Trump asalta a personas por la calle solo por su perfil racial, exactamente igual que hacían los nazis, es una persecución racista masiva que ya ha dejado 31 personas asesinadas... sin embargo, nunca sale en TV.

La Junta es hija directa de la colonia. Si tu plan para “refundar el ELA” es aplaudir los movimientos de los bonistas y sus aliados, mientras la luz sube y el país se hunde, no estás del lado del pueblo, estás del lado del billete. #LoQueLePasóAHawaii
🧵sobre la noticia de la Junta:
1/6
Hoy se confirma que Trump está sacando a varios miembros de la JSF. Y por ahí el PPD y el team Pablito celebrando como si acabaran de tumbar el muro de Berlín.
Pero… ¿quién realmente gana con esto?
5/6
Celebrar estos despidos como si fueran “un triunfo para Puerto Rico” es, mínimo, deshonestidad intelectual.
Porque lo que viene no es ni justicia ni autonomía: Lo que viene es más miseria disfrazada de progreso.
(2/2) Los costos de la JCF son los mismos de la 1era presidencia de Trump pero no habia problemas pq llegaban acuerdos jugosos con los bonistas. Si bien los costos de la JCF son inaceptables tampoco lo son las pretenciones abusivas de bonistas que provocaran aumentos a la luz.
🧵(1/2) De ser cierto. Tiene más que ver con la presión de los bonistas de la AEE como Golden Tree en guerra judicial brutal contra la JCF. El discurso es “hay dinero” para pagarnos pero se esta malgastando en la JCF es de esos bonistas.
Lo que hay que hacer es poner fecha pa’ salida de la Junta. Pero aqui lo que quieren es sustituir puros aliados de los #fondosbuitres para llegar a un acuerdo con los bonistas de AEE para “evitar más gastos exorbitantes” en consultores pero con aumentos “inevitables” a la luz.
Gracias @NydiaVelazquez por su poderoso turno hoy en la vista de PROMESA denunciando el abuso de los bonistas de la AEE, dirigidos por Golden Tree, contra el pueblo de Puerto Rico. No podemos dejarnos presionar por los bonistas que solo buscan ganancias sin medir consecuencias.
