Safe protesting to everyone at the #NoKings protests today!
Here in #PuertoRico we are also marching for Biodiversity in the island and against the illegal, proposed mega resort in Cabo Rojo that would destroy swaths of protected forests, misappropriate tons of water, and rob #PuertoRicans of their land. We are marching to the Fortaleza to demand this colonialist land grab be stopped immediately! #EsenciaNoVa
SOMOS MÁS, Y NO TENEMOS MIEDO!!

The collective memory of every #Latino #people includes direct or indirect (neo-)colonialism, primarily by #Spain or #Portugal and later by the #UnitedStates. Among #Latinos, #Mexicans in what we now call the Southwest have experienced US #colonialism the longest and most directly, with #PuertoRicans not far behind

"He was browsing a record store in Santa Monica when he found an album by the Puerto Rican artist José Feliciano, sending him down a rabbit hole into the singer-songwriter’s 60-year career. Yes, there’s the Christmas classic 'Feliz Navidad,' but there are also 19 Grammy nominations, 56 albums, and his stripped-down, folksy take on 'The Star-Spangled Banner' in 1968 that was met with such outrage that racists began calling for Feliciano to be deported, even though Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens.
“'It struck me that I think a lot of younger people don’t know how big he was,' Martínez explains. “People are like, ‘Oh, Bad Bunny is breaking ground with gringos!’ No, papi — José Feliciano was breaking ground with gringos since the Seventies, you hear me? He was doing worldwide tours, he was in London, singing in English, singing to Anglophone audiences.” https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/bad-bunny-coachella-el-apagon-controversy-future-interview-1234770225/

#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."

adding to the #antifa trend, this is a reminder that #PuertoRicans go hard when we bash the fash: it’s estimated 72,000 boricuas ―from La Isla and the states― joined the effort during #WWII.

CW: US Pol Race
Drove to the local Patel brothers before the supply chain runs low. Plenty of rice and beans on the shelves.
One of the few benefits of not being white in the USA is that the food is better.
(Yes, I'm from #PuertoRico but I shop in the Indian market because all the stuff #PuertoRicans eat is native south #Asia and the quality is higher at the Asian markets.)
Bonus: absolutely zero Goya products. -
"I’m sure this has nothing to do with skin color. …
Puerto Ricans and Native Americans are getting swept up in the Trump administration’s performative immigration raids across the country."

#US #ICE agents are arresting and deporting #Dominican citizens from #PuertoRico as part of #Trump's ordered deportation wave. Due to the island's colonial status, #PuertoRicans have no sovereignty over immigration policy in their homeland.

@amiserabilist
With every insane appointment, I grow more & more skeptical the #TreasonWeasel's victory was legitimate.He said on multiple occasions, "I don't need your vote. I have all the votes I need." Women voting for BOTH T**** AND to protect #Roe. 70% of #PuertoRicans in Osceola County, FL voted for the guy who invited the "floating island of garbage" comic to open his rally? And after trashing #Detroit while IN Detroit and laughing with #Musk over his union busting, he wins Michigan???

@Free_Press
YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE 👆 of why I'm becoming increasingly skeptical #OrangeHitler actually legitimately won the election.People upset over #Gaza voting for #BibisBuddy? #PuertoRicans voting for the guy who invited a comedian to call them "a floating island of garbage"? #Union members voting against #Harris (who walked the picket line with them) in favor of the guy who praised Elon Musk for his union busting? Women voting to protect #Roe ALSO voting for the guy who overturned it? 🤨

@RonSupportsYou
Maybe, but the Youth vote didn't abandon her the way minority voters did, which is simply mindboggling.70% of #PuertoRicans in Osceola County #Florida voted for #TheOrangeMenace. 🤦♂️
Hispanic men were drawn by #PizzaTheHut's "muy macho" message.

OMG, YES, Lauren,that show was just so great!
#JohnOliver of #LastWeekTonight has made such a compelling case to vote for #KamalaHarris today, even if you are completely aghast at the #BidenHartis admin foreign-policy failures in the #MiddleEast, including #Gaza and #Afghanistan. Brilliant 👏.
PS:
OMG--I had completely missed that appalling new Trump ad about #PuertoRicans with Cuban music. -
#RFKjr Agrees with the racist comic that called #PuertoRicans an Island of floating garbage.
Tell me you're not a MAGA racist then I'll tell you what a racist you are.👇

Friends did you know that many #PuertoRicans were going to vote for Trump before Trump's racist blender at his #MSG Nazi rally, What does that say about them?Nobody have too piss me off with Nazi racist rhetoric coming from Trump and his fascist allies Then say I'm voting for Harris. :ablobthinking: Lets see will that holds.
8 Years of Trump lies, racism, fascism sexual abuses rapist fraud stealing wasn't the deal breaker, Puerto being called an Island of garbage seems too change their mind.

"It would be undeniably hilarious if an objectively terrible yet racist joke cost Donald Trump the presidency. Karma itself could not conceive of a better way to deny this ill duce the 'Get Out of Everything' card that he—and the Republicans on the Supreme Court—imagine the presidency to be."

"It’s not dying down, Donald.
If the Trump campaign had hopes that the whole thing about Puerto Rico being called a 'floating island of garbage' at the MAGA hate rally would blow over, they were in for a rude next day assessment."

"What a sweet, sweet victory it would be if Puerto Ricans turned the page on Donald Trump. Perhaps they could toss him a roll of paper towels to take to prison."

#PuertoRico is part of the #UnitedStates.
#PuertoRicans are US citizens.
I don't believe the #OrangeShitGibbon actually knows that.

I know #Cubans in #Florida are mostly #Republicans who most possibly will vote for #Trump . But here’s the fact: you’re next in getting insulted. #Mexicans #Haitians and #PuertoRicans #Boricua got their share and many have realized #MAGA doesn’t care about them. So all you Cubans in #Miami and #SouthFlorida, wake up and vote #HarrisWalz2024 . Or get insulted and we’ll see your crocodile tears and tell you “We warned you”.

Who can't vote unless they live in the United States, not in #PuertoRico. 🤦♂️
Kinda like when I lived in DC & could vote for a congressional #delegate" from DC but not a Congressman or Senator. 🤷♂️
At least I could vote for the #POTUS when I lived there but not Puerto Ricans living in Puerto Rico. 🤔

A #Trump #Rally #Speaker #Trashed #PuertoRicans. #Democratic #PresidentialNominee #KamalaHarris Reached Out to Them.
Her #campaign moved swiftly to #highlight that even as a #speaker at Trump’s rally in #NewYork made #offensive #remarks about #PuertoRico and #Latinos, she was visiting #PuertoRican #voters in #Philadelphia.

#Puerto-Ricans are 'scandalized' !!! 🤣
For how #Trump and #MAGA Politicians talk about #PuertoRicans
'Puerto Rico is an island of floating garbage'Really ?
Was how Trump treated Puerto Rico after the Typhoon NOT enough to be scandalized ?
Didn't the fact that Trump and the MAGAs are #RACIST #FASCISTS 'scandalize' you enough ?honestly
Puerto Ricans are 'scandalized' about what ?
that neo-#nazi #fascist #racists like Trump and the MAGAs see anybody that is NOT white as sub-humans ?
REALLY ?! -
After watching this "Is that Black Enough for you?", I decided to search for content on netflix that featured representations of #PuertoRicans. The only thing I could find was this biopic series on #reggaeton star #NickyJam. I gotta say that the feeling of seeing your peeps represented on media, using our language, slang and seeing your homeland, is a feeling unlike no other. If folks know of more films or tv shows were Puerto Ricans play Puerto Ricans in lead roles, please share. https://www.netflix.com/title/80221207
