I suspect we may soon find out exactly why the Supreme Court declined the opportunity to reverse the Insular Cases in 2022.

yall don’t think it’s WEIRD , that CPS will potentially take your kids if you’re struggling (unable to feed them , clothe them , pay for necessary medicines , etc.) 🤔 and then once your kids are taken , they put them in a home with another family , and then give THEM money every month to take care of your kids ??

is that not a fucked up system ?!

As states debate the future of the Colorado River, tribes are being left out. 22 tribes have rights to 25% of the basin’s annual water! But those tribes can’t access their water because the federal government doesn’t maintain the infrastructure.

Puerto Rico should be undergoing a clean energy transformation. Instead, the U.S. government and the American companies that now run Puerto Rico's power grid have cut funding for renewables and forced the island to double down on fossil fuels. https://t.co/50Aztwka4m

Stop the “Puerto Ricans are American citizens” phrase as a counterpoint to the racists. That phrase erases all the inequalities that comes with the citizenship

[Benito hasn't denounced the genocide 🇵🇷 @midnucas]

This thread is like how back in October 2024 when Bad Bunny posted the intro from his 2021 San Juan concert that featured Nationalists who took up arms against the United States... and Democrats said it was about "Puerto Ricans’ contributions to the United States."

[Alberto C. Medina @AlbertoMedinaPR]

The problem with insisting that Puerto Rico is "part of America" (besides the fact that it is factually wrong) is that it's like insisting slaves were "part of" their masters' household.

And if people believed that, they might have never ended slavery.

[Alberto C. Medina @AlbertoMedinaPR]

By the way: the Supreme Court has had 124 years to overturn the racist decision that held Puerto Ricans were too "savage" for the island to be part of the United States.

They've refused to do so because it's the legal foundation that allows Puerto Rico's colonial status.

Puerto Rico doesn’t need remilitarization — it needs sovereignty

The FCC Chair’s threat to pull TV licenses was beyond the pale, dangerous, and must be called out. 👇

@macheteada Found this insight interesting…that a bella ciao remix is apparently on the Groyper Wars playlist

[Mike from PA @Mike_from_PA]

I've seen some Millennials saying that Bella Ciao being on the casing means that the 22-yr old shooter was a leftist.

Here is a remix of Bella Ciao on the "Groyper War" America First playlist. Groyper War refers to their targeting of CHARLIE KIRK.

You yourself are spreading misinformation because most coquí ARE endangered and the Golden coquí is already thought extinct. I need foreigners to stop trying to dunk and actually understand that all coquíes are threatened by tourism's expansion, NOT just the Common coquí.

Puerto Rico imports about 85% of the food we eat, and when you couple the new tariff scheme with the Jones Act, things are going to get expensive as shit in the archipelago.

*Me reading gringos complaining about tariffs pricing them out of goods*

Wait until you hear about the Jones Act…

The joke here being how Puerto Rico was a big exporter of locally grown coffee but the US chose to dismantle our industry to crash our economy in service to WallStreet, thus cementing US colonial dominance.

For many years, I studied ballet folklorico dance. Some of my favorite dances were from the region of Veracruz, which include long white lace dresses that symbolize the waves of the ocean. Today, I couldn’t be more grateful for the wave of support for the campaign. #copolitics

“When Alberto Medina, a pro-independence Puerto Rican writer and advocate, thinks about Puerto Rico’s status — not a U.S. state but not an independent country — he has to laugh to keep from crying.”

Thanks to @rmpbs for this piece on my new play! https://t.co/pAExzrG47t

So, Ice detained a Puerto Rican family in Wisconsin today.

Many people are rightfully outraged, but for the wrong reasons.

Puerto Ricans are US citizens, but we are not US citizens for any dignified reason.

Our nation was taken as war booty in an imperialist war with Spain. 1/

All of Puerto Rico without electricity this New Year’s Eve after a widespread collapse of all power generation plants.
