If only yt Americans cared as much about Puerto Rico as they do about the Lil Mermaid being Blk, the island would not be on its 4th day w/o power, after suffering the largest blackout in US history. Eleven months— that’s how long it took to restore power after Maria. Won’t forget. Care for Puerto Rico is expressed not only during crisis, but also *before and after* Before Hurricane Maria During Maria After Maria and before Fiona During Fiona After Fiona and before the next devastating hurricane What happened after Maria can’t happen this time around. Grateful Biden has been moving differently than Trump, though ppl on the ground are saying this isn’t enough. Disaster response and recovery efforts need to be augmented so that they can reach the people. But also, something that’s been bothering me... the OPPORTUNISM. Y’all... Unless you‘re Boricua 🇵🇷, stop using Hurricane Fiona as an opportunity to push Statehood. That’s up to the Puerto Rican people and this is literally not the time. The opportunism among liberals and Democrats is wild. It’s like do y’all ever stop? And stop asking me my opinions on statehood. My opinions are irrelevant. Again, that’s up to the PR people. What is relevant is y’all using this hurricane CRISIS for political exploitation. Puerto Ricans are in the middle of a crisis, you should not be having this conversation without them. Nada sin ellos. End of conversation. Here are two accounts you can follow to stay up to date what’s happening @biancagraulau - independent journalist I trust @drhiramrodriguez - state of medical affairs on the island Now let me get back to my lunch 🫓 ☕️ #puertorico #pr #puertorico🇵🇷 #boricua #puertorican #isla #sanjuan #puertoricostrong #sospuertorico #hurricane #hurricanfiona #latino #latinos #latinosunidos #latina #aid #mutualaid #hurricanrelief #humanitarian #humanitarianaid #naturaldisaster #statehood #colonization #decolonize #decolonizeyourmind #latino #latina #democrat #progressive #demsocialists #liberals
