BREAKING: Former pro-Statehood Puerto Rico Gov. Wanda Vázquez has been arrested by the FBI in major corruption probe. More arrests are expected. Yes, PR’s pro-Statehood party is a corrupt and criminal organization. @diasporaresiste @DiasporaPIP @elfrente_pr @NydiaVelazquez @AOC

4 years and 315 days post Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, former Gov. of Puerto Rico Wanda Vázquez Garced, member of the New Progressive Party (which is not progressive) and a Republican, has been arrested by the FBI.

Puerto Rico woke up this morning to Pro-statehood party (PNP) ex-governor Wanda Vazquez being arrested for corruption by the FBI. This is the 8th member of this political party arrested by the FBI on corruption charges within the last 2 years.

After the House Natural Resources Committee passed the #PuertoRicoStatusAct on Wednesday, all eyes are now on Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, whose support or defection from the bill she helped negotiate will likely decide its fate. (Reporting by @PabloReports )

@JoseADelgadoEND @VOTARE_org @ElNuevoDia @RashidaTlaib Yo apoyo a @RepRashida y su voto de "no" a el bill. Ademas yo fui uno de las voces que les pidio ese voto. El bill le faltaba mucha definición y los lideres del Partido Democrático no permitierón enmiendas de su mismo miembros.

THIS! ALLLLLL OF THIS!

Thank you .@RepChuyGarcia for standing up for the fair and transparent decolonization process and respectful treatment Puerto Ricans deserve.

Thank you @RashidaTlaib for standing up for transparency and fairness. An incomplete product without hearings and full details is not a true process of self determination.

[Raul Echevarria @raule32]

I support @RepRashida & @RepChuyGarcia "no" vote. The so-called compromise bill lacked formal hearing process, lacked true definition of statehood, needed clarity on question of U.S. birthright citizenship, & definition of independence is yoked to U.S.A. Thank you for your vote!

[¡VOTARÉ! @VOTARE_org]

The final tally split along party lines, except for
@RepChuyGarcia (D) & @RepRashida (D) who voted no:

25 YEAS - 20 NAYS

[Federico A. de Jesús @fdejesusfebles]

Thank you @RepDarrenSoto for reminding how the US turned PR into a sugar plantation and when it became a manufacturing powerhouse, Congress took away Section 936. Thank you for sharing the story of your family and others in max exodus that resulted. That’s how the debt started.

[Power4PuertoRico @Pwr4PuertoRico]

The lack of public hearings and .@LeaderHoyer's insistence on blocking Democrats from introducing amendments that would provide Puerto Ricans with full information make it difficult for many in our community to rally for #PuertoRico Status Act STATEMENT🔗 https://t.co/Yg9pl8oA0k

People in Puerto Rico are taking the streets AGAIN (see 📌), to protest against the company the US govt imposed over Puerto Rico to privatize electricity. Not only have power outages increased significantly, but customers have seen 7 price hikes since 2021

Statehood is, by nature, (whether within the context of Puerto Rico or elsewhere) colonial. For example, the imposition of the state of Israel upon Palestine and it's people.
