Puerto Rico only has those tax rates for rich gringo parasites. Actual Puerto Ricans from there are not eligible, and also pay a hugely regressive 11.5% sales tax that the USA's Junta has forbid from ever being lowered for like 50 years.

me trying to explain to Americans that the relationship between the United States and Puerto Rico is complicated, statehood is a complex issue, voting in Puerto Rico is difficult and not necessarily representative, and that overall Puerto Rico's situation isn't black and white
@surmizes @alanwiig @ChelseaEatin @kellypcomics Using current events to introduce the French to the real Philly culinary masterpiece, the roast pork sandwich. Would love to see French peoples reaction to cheese wiz though!
Puerto Rico statehood vote w 100% in:
623,053 YES to statehood (52.34%)
567,346 NO (47.66%)
Just 52.17% of registered voters answered the question on status.
Meaning just 27.31% of 2.3M+ registered voters supported the US colony becoming a US state
Around 3M ppl live in PR
Anyone saying this after immigrant organizers delivered AZ, Black grassroots flipped Georgia, MI going blue w reality-bending 94% Detroit margin + @RashidaTlaib running up the margins in her district & Trump publicly challenging @IlhanMN in MN and losing isn’t a serious person.
The real left is in more danger under the hegemony of the neoliberal totalitarians. Look at the level of censorship that has now become normalized. Big tech in alliance with democrat party are now the primary threats to liberal values like free speech & access to information.
“appears to be shifting away from the conservative policies of the US backed government” and “fled the country” are wrecking me, I just can’t. It’s not even English, the utterly baffling non-words outlets will use to avoid “rightwing coup”
we all joke about these assholes having access to some vaguely defined "rich people medicine," drugs us poors don't even know about...
turns out that's literally true. these assholes get special rich people medicine right from the manufacturer, medicine we aren't allowed to have.
Remember when Indigenous protesters peacefully blockaded railway lines as an act of protest, and it was treated as a national crisis with active engagement by law enforcement and politicians?
That was earlier this year.
