es bien chistoso que los PNPs digan que quieren ayudar a Puerto Rico pero consideran cualquier tipo de arte que demuestre orgullo por PR, o que demuestre como EEUU nos ha maltratado a traves de los años, algo anti-puertorriqueño

71 years ago today, Roberto Clemente made his MLB debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Batting third and playing right field, he went 1-for-4 in the Pirates' 10-3 loss to the Brooklyn Dodgers at Forbes Field. He singled off Johnny Podres in his first at bat for his first MLB hit.

This also means part of funding for the Iguaca (Puerto Rican amazon) conservation project is gonna get slashed. That’s our national bird being doomed to extinction once again.

Shit. Se jodió El Yunque.

“Cualesquiera que sean ellos, mi odio inflexible para los tiranos” — Ramón Emeterio Betances

See below—but also, this being me, USians have an example of successful resilience and civil resistance in the face of violence forcing a change in direction. The problem is the example is Puerto Rico, which the U.S. occupies, so obviously USians don’t have any useful lessons to learn from them.

#OnThisDay, April 8, 1827, Ramón Emeterio Betances was born in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. A doctor, revolutionary, & advocate for freedom, he fought against a cholera epidemic, led efforts to free enslaved peoples, & played a key role in Puerto Rico's fight for independence.

you'd think as a society we'd all agree that genocide is wrong, no? you'd think

The experience of driving in Rochester is one of looking at all the cars around you and thinking "holy fuck fuck you and your fucking SUV why the fuck are you trying to merge into me whilst doing your makeup," but also "dear God don't kill me angry maga truck redneck who is also doing his makeup"

This what young tech fucks, sorry Ley60 recipients, do in PR all the damn time, and not a peep from anyone in the US.

I'd played FF1 on a cousin's NES, FFL on my cousin's GB, I'd played through and loved FF4 myself... But when FF6 came out? That's where I absolutely fell in love with RPGs & declared myself a Final Fantasy fan for life No joke, FF6 made me a better person to this day.

Outrageous seeing Puerto Ricans supporting Trump taking away birthright citizenship because our citizenship is on the chopping block next.

Judging by its place on the draft list, I've been trying to write this one for over two weeks. I would've gotten it out sooner, but I kept having to fix other people's problems. That'll be a much funnier sentence once you read the article. buttondown.com/nsmckinnon/a...

Leave Puerto Rico out of This

"all writers use AI" nope, get the entire fuck out of here with that

He tenido la buena dicha de vivir mi extravío en la diaspora cerca a una gran comunidad trans, y haber conocido a montones (y sin contar les panas que salieron trans!) Imagínense como de aburrido e incoherente sería el mundo sin los trans. Happy trans day of visibility, aliado hasta la muerte✊🏼

Today is #TransDayOfVisibility and it is the best day to show vocal and financial support to trans people everywhere.

Happy Transgender Visibility Day to all my trans friends 🩷🩵🤍

Orgulloso del pueblo puertorriqueño entero por salir en defensa de mi pueblito 💪❤️ 🇵🇷

The big protest march today in Puerto Rico is against the environmentally destructive Esencia resort project in Cabo Rojo, but the clowns in this photo don't give a shit and instead went to some gringo bullshit. Hey you clowns Puerto Rico already has 535 kings, why'd you give a shit for one more

The arrogance of the US to see protests happening in PR against Esencia—a giant capitalist project to make PR a playground for wealthy colonizers—and just ASSUME that it was part of the No Kings marches (effectively silencing PR voices) is infuriating. This is a deeply narcissistic country. 😡

NY Times & US newspapers proving once again that you can just publish absolutely anything about PR without any sort of research, solely talking out of your ass, and no one will say anything, not even the editorial board, and the gringos will eat it up as if it was the unquestionable word of God.
