Our latest podcast episode is out! Host Michelle Zacarias welcomes @nicolefoy.bsky.social of @propublica.org Nicole Foy and the Power of Local Journalism

native americans are the most disrespected and it's not even close. if we're not getting called siberians, we're a punching bag for everyone else. we're getting kidnapped ON OUR OWN LANDS. our genocide hasn't stopped, it's just evolved.

Peligrosos deslizamientos en Manatí, denuncia Rep. Nieves Rosario El Rep. Jerry Nieves Rosario alertó que los deslizamientos en el Barrio Cortés, en Manatí son preocupantes y exigió intervención urgente para evitar colapse una carretera open.substack.com/pub/sandraro...

Nos unimos a la convocatoria para exigir a la Cámara de Representantes la no aprobación del Proyecto del Senado 923. Con la propuesta del PNP de alterar la definición de asesinato, se sigue construyendo la vía para que el Estado destruya la autonomía de las mujeres sobre su cuerpo y sobre su vida.

@sandrarc.bsky.social esta es la critica que yo hago referente a la influenza. De los medios periodísticos eres la única que he visto que no ha soltado el tema desde hace semanas. Gracias por eso.

Si te interesa respiradores y vives en PR tenemos disponibles para repartir libre de costo. Nos puedes contactar por mensaje directo tanto en el fediverso como en Bluesky.

Por eso insistimos en vacunación y lavado de manos. Pero hacemos hincapié en el uso de respiradores N95 o KN95. El efecto de prevención es instantáneo.

Sin una campaña de información, las personas pueden concluir erróneamente que de nada sirve vacunarse. Ese es precisamente el problema que vimos con las vacunas del covid19 los pasados años.

Lo cierto es que para maximizar el efecto de las vacunas de influenza en el cuerpo humano hay que esperar hasta dos semanas. En ese lapso de tiempo la persona puede haber estado expuesta al virus.

Estamos viendo que los medios en Puerto Rico finalmente están hablando de el alza de casos de influenza y como prevenirla. Eso es buenísimo. Pero también tenemos que hablar que esta información pudo haber llegado antes. 🧵

This is Liam. He's 5. My story: sahanjournal.com/education/ic...

Loving this growing list of Covid aware comedians lol And yes that's a respirator under Judah's cloth mask 😷

I remember that Pelosi did this shit about a budget deal that left out protections for Dreamers and gave like an 8 hour floor speech about how much she loved Dreamers, and the Blue MAGAts all gushed about how big of a hero she was

A timely reminder: the ongoing controversy in the U.S. proper over requiring an ID to vote is non-existent in Puerto Rico, where a photo voter election ID - in Spanish tarjeta de identificación electoral (TIE) - has been in place since 1979, and has worked smoothly for 40+ years.

This denial of reality (& attempted gaslighting of billions of people by saying to them "Believe us, not your own lying eyes, which are looking at a video of a child turned into soup in a bag") has undermined a critical mass of faith in the "international rules based order" bsky.app/profile/flyi...

were not real (by governments, universities and news outlets) is as damaging to the public sense of trust in institutions as anything Ruper Murdoch has ever accomplished, perhaps worse. This attempt to dismiss reality as documented and understood by thinking ppl helped usher in "AI" & Trump 2.0

This has had a profound effect on the west and has produced a significant break in trust between its people and its governments, universities and news outlets. For examaple: for all the handwringing US liberals did about the "fake news" of Fox News, the damage done by pretending the horrors of Gaza

I've been thinking about this a lot, for months: Gaza was a breaking point between verifiable reality and liberal governance. "AI" sparks fears ppl will believe things that aren't true, but Gaza SHOWED things that WERE true—& western governments, universities & news outlets pretened they were not.

My wife works at a cancer center. Their new COVID policy had me floored. Barely any quarantine time, no required testing if you're asymptomatic. American Healthcare is such a joke.

Puerto Rico registered 30 deaths by influenza during the Xmas break. Recuperando El Aire is a mask bloc we began running recently. And it’s been great timing. We need to help people escape institutional neglect.

Rest in power Damien “ELove” Matthias. The brotha who is the iconic image behind the @publicenemyno1.bsky.social logo. Who produced for Uncle L (LL Cool J) & brought us some legends working w/Def Jam. We losing recipes. We losing brothers HipHop.

alchemy is very easy: 1. get some lead 2. recreate the white-hot primordial soup from which we all spawned 3. profit!

You might be wondering what inspired this… A famous pro-infection expert has said there is no more long C19 than normal. Because in their world a six year old virus causing disability is normal. We don’t even know what the final normal will look like in fifty years time.

There’s a tuberculosis outbreak at an Amazon warehouse in the UK. Sick leave? Respiratory protection? Building ventilation? State of workers T cells? We *must* accept respiratory protection as part of our “new 💩 normal”. www.unilad.com/news/world-n...

Make America Go Away

🚨 BREAKING: United States gov't says there's a second pardon coming for former Puerto Rico governor Wanda Vázquez, Julio Herrera Velutini and Mark Rossini for cases where they plead guilty to misdemeanor in a document submitted in their original cases informing court of the first pardon last week.

Basic human need. Food in stomach. Made impossible. Bcs skin is Black. Survival is political. Desensitized = good. @ismemry.bsky.social needs major help, fast. $500 covers everything. C/v: memwho P: xomemereytwod

As someone clinically vulnerable I feel enormously let down by the Labour Party. They failed to update the guidance from the Tories on #Covidisairborne and there is abundant evidence in studies of airborne transmission and from statements by CATA in the @ukcovid-19inquiry.bsky.social

You guys, covid cases are high right now, and covid or flu infections are potentially deadly or life altering - if not for you, then for someone you know. Let's mask up, quarantine if you've been exposed, and take care of each other❤️❤️❤️

My main worry is for the indigenous people of Greenland who deserve independence and not to be pawns in whatever this is

Dems talking themselves into Trump’s potential invasion of Greenland. The supposed opposition to Trump

Keep getting the kids infected... It's going great. www.pennmedicine.org/news/second-...

Skylight social seems like a decent alternative to TikTok and/or the Bluesky vanilla client. But holy crap these videos are so USA-centric to the point of boredom lol

i need y'all to stop bringing up puerto rico as an example of what would a good option for the next state regardless of whatever reason even stirs the discussion b/c colonizers should play no rule in the determination of INDEPENDENCE for the colonized. learn your history and get a new argument. 🍅

Listen to Bad Bunny: Abolish Act 22 An egregious tax-evasion loophole is inflaming the displacement crisis in Puerto Rico. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Puerto Rico is the central node in US military operations in Latin America—including against Venezuela, writes Andrea Contreras. The anti-war organization Madres Contra La Guerra is using revolutionary love to build solidarity between peace movements. https://bit.ly/4r195IU

So #ICE is a para-military secret police operation turned on Americans. @democrats.org are essentially poll-testing their response to a modern day Stasi as if the first-order question is how swing voters feel about state sanctioned violence.

Y vienen más, solo dejen que por fin tenga papel y lápices de nuevo pa luego hacerlo digitalmente 😅

I'd like to add some personal context, my mother was born in Santurce in the late 1950s, her sister was part of the 1 in 3 who was forcibly sterilized during a women's wellness visit when she was a teenager.

For the temporally challenged (mostly anglo-Americans) in the room: THIS ISN'T ANCIENT HISTORY. IT. HAPPENED. TO. BOTH. OF. MY. GRANDMOTHERS. One couldn't even ever admit it to herself, the other one nursed that wound until her mind went. Como siempre, viva Puerto Rico libre, PUÑETA 💪🇵🇷

Anthony Black and God Shammgod 🤝 Their offseason work has been translating into amazing moments like AB’s dunk in Berlin!

#PuertoRico #Vieques (small island off the big island of Puerto Rico used by US Navy as target practice for decades. Populace has much higher than normal cancer/other disease rates.) 3,042 days & counting since #HurricaneMaria Still no hospital but US just reopened the base.

Você sabia que nos anos 1960-70 os EUA esterelizaram coercivamente um terço das mulheres de sua colônia de Puerto Rico? Essas políticas foram implementadas também contra uma parcela de indígenas e latinas nos EUA. Sabiam disso?

Let me lose my cool for a bit. This shit is so insulting; I grew up next to an interstate (which contributed to my asthma) and under a La Guardia flight path. Amadou Diallo was killed by my local police precinct. And none of this bullshit resonates with me at all. This is so fucking condescending.

Multi-year funding is a dirty trick by #RussellVought. This way the #Trump administration can say they're spending what Congress appropriated for research, BUT they'll only fund 1/5 the number of grants. Call your Senators/Reps now. Science hangs in the balance. H/T @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social
