ok, i’ve watched it again and am now processing all the awesomeness. no disrespect, but Lady Gaga was the weakest link.
ENISGÜEIS, have to make an inventory of all the references, but know:
USA forced the privatization of Puerto Rico’s electric grid, la AEE, busting our oldest #labor #union. protests mounted after #HurricaneMaría; then #Telegramgate happened
those AEE posts are symbol of the labor unions that laid the groundwork for the 2019 protests

#PuertoRicans are devising the #FoodSystem of tomorrow
by Ayurella Horn-Muller, September 3, 2025
Excerpt: "In the wake of #HurricaneMaria, many residents of #PuertoRico, especially those working to improve the archipelago’s local food system, began to think about hurricane preparedness differently. Because they weren’t able to rely on federal assistance, they decided to build their own prototypes of #resilience, which didn’t just set them up to be ready for the next storm, but also set them up to live better everyday lives. #Cooperatives, #gardens, and school-based agricultural programs emerged to fill the gaps left by the government. #Barter networks and local farmers markets have become increasingly popular. #MutualAid kitchens and community-led supermarkets have also expanded their work, ramping up donations, surplus food, and partnerships with nearby producers. These projects aren’t just temporary disaster responses. They are models of long-term resilience and food independence. They are living blueprints of what food sovereignty could look like in Puerto Rico — and elsewhere."

EL CENTRO, Center for Puerto Rican Studies at #CUNY Hunter College also has an infographic PDF for Florida:

notice how most of the Puerto Rican population in Florida live in the path of #HurricaneHelene and #HurricaneMilton.
most of them moved there after #HurricaneMaria devastated La Isla.

As am seeing news that #California is suing oil companies for lying about #plastics #recycling; a reminder that the Commonwealth of (Estado Libre Asociado de) Puerto Rico just sued #ExxonMobil #BritishPetroleum #Chevron and other companies for unfair and deceptives practices that have caused devastating #ClimateCrisis effects like #HurricaneMaria

I can honestly say the reason why many of us in #PuertoRico survived #HurricaneIrma and #HurricaneMaria was because of #AMradio. Cellphone signal was scarce throughout PR but those who did have it used it to call the radio stations and inform what was happening.
Heartbreaking stories, sure. But tons of people survived due to early alerts about devastating floods mentioned on the radio. It was an invaluable resource. Yet, on its way out supposedly.
