I decided to watch the Cavs lose tonight then hear Donald Trump speak & reading the post it sounds like a boring night to watch tv #BoycottStateOfTheUnion#StateOfTheDream
Thank you @SenJeffMerkley!!! We need someone like you to speak up about our ppl! It was been 104 days that the Puerto Rican ppl have been without water and light! When will this end?! #unitymovement#reliefnow 😍✊🏼 https://t.co/YTGrA1VNCj
It’s now been 3.5 months since Hurricane Maria & nearly HALF of Puerto Rico is STILL without power. Roughly a million Americans have been without electricity for more than 3 months! It’s long past time to provide Puerto Rico with the robust support they desperately need & deserve
