  3. Cuando la gobernadora diga que Puerto Rico está "open for business" le voy a recordar que Plaza cerró hoy temprano a las 6 por falta de luz. 🙃

    Para colmo, ni un aviso por social media de Plaza. Dí el viaje a Plaza, pero cuando entro por las puertas nos dijeron que estaba cerrado.

    Y mientras escribía esto, se fué la luz en casa. 🙃🙃🙃

  10. What can I do in response to the #FuelSupply Crisis in #Aotearoa / #NewZealand?

    When the Trucks Stop - A community #MutualAid guide for fuel-constrained New Zealand - open for your input!

    Mar 19, 2026

    "At the time of writing, New Zealand has roughly 20 to 27 days of physical onshore fuel stocks. We import 100% of our refined fuel. The Strait of Hormuz crisis has already triggered Force Majeure declarations from Gulf and Asian suppliers, and the late March escalation has destroyed refining infrastructure that will take years to rebuild, if it is rebuilt at all.

    Government will do what government does: triage. Hospitals, police, essential freight corridors. That is appropriate. But it means communities are largely on their own for everything else - food distribution, transport, heating, health access, economic survival. Civil Defence is built for earthquakes and floods, not for a slow-onset nationwide supply chain collapse with no clear end date.

    So we wrote a guide.

    When the Trucks Stop: Mutual Aid Arrangements for a Fuel-Constrained New Zealand is a practical briefing covering ten areas where communities can organise now to meet basic needs if fuel imports fall to zero or near-zero for weeks or months. It covers food production and distribution, water, energy, transport, health, economic alternatives like #timebanking and local currencies, communication, governance, and the specific needs of vulnerable populations.

    It is not theory. It draws on real precedents - #Cuba’s #SpecialPeriod, the #LytteltonTimeBank after the #ChristchurchEarthquake, #PuertoRico’s community #microgrids after #HurricaneMaria, #Ukraine’s rapid #UrbanFarming response. These are places where people faced severe fuel or supply disruption and found ways through it. Not comfortably. Not without suffering. But they made it work, and the common thread in every case was community-level organisation that was already in place, or was built fast, before the worst hit.

    The document plans for the worst case whilst hoping for a better outcome. The arrangements it describes cost almost nothing to establish and strengthen communities regardless of whether severe disruption eventuates. If it does, they could prove decisive.

    This is a living document and we want your input. The Google Doc version is open for comments. If you know of resources, models, organisations, or practical experience that should be included, please add a comment or get in touch. We will edit contributions into the guide as they come in. This is a community document for community use. It is published under a Creative Commons CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 licence - share it, adapt it, translate it, print it out and pin it to the noticeboard at your local dairy.

    What you can do this week:

    - Read the guide
    - Share it with your community group, church, marae, sports club, school community, or neighbourhood
    - Call a meeting - even five people is enough
    - Contact a local farmer and ask if they’d supply your community directly in a crisis
    - Set up a communication channel - a group chat, a phone tree, a physical noticeboard
    - Comment on the doc with resources, corrections, or experience we should include

    The time for preparation is before you need it. That time is now."

  11. REC was not building fiber to generate profit for distant shareholders. They were doing it because their member-owners demanded better connectivity, and the cooperative had both the financial health and the community mandate to deliver. Every decision traced back to the same question: Does this serve our members?

    El nombre del proyecto «Raíces de Soberanía» surgió al debatir sobre los efectos del huracán María. La importancia de los tubérculos tradicionales, como la malanga, la yuca y el ñame, se hizo evidente para muchos cuando todos los demás cultivos, que no crecen bajo tierra como estos, quedaron destruidos. Los agricultores mayores ayudaron a los más jóvenes a propagar estos cultivos, garantizando así el intercambio de conocimientos y el crecimiento de la soberanía alimentaria.

    The name for the project “Raíces de Soberanía”, came about when discussing the impacts of Hurricane Maria. The importance traditional root crops like, Malanga, Yuca and Ñame became obvious to many when all other crops, which do not grow underground like these, were destroyed. Old farmers helped younger ones propagate these crops, ensuring knowledge be shared and food sovereignty grown!

  16. #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."

  22. 🗣 TAKE #PuertoRico OUT OF YOUR SETTLER COLONIAL MOUTHS

    where was Stern & Democrats when Clinton was destroying our economy so his capitalist cronies could move their factories to China?

    where were they when Obama set up a dictatorial junta of Wall Street vultures feasting on the carcass of our public sector ―that they killed with bogus municipal bonds they had their batatero cronies sell?

    4664 weren’t killed by #HurricaneMaria. they were killed by Obama’s Junta and Trump’s callousness… 🧵

  23. Thanks to Congress, Puerto Ricans Will Struggle Even More to Feed Their Families

    The island imports more than 80 percent of its food, and residents already face rising prices and supply chain issues.

  25. De overeenkomsten tussen #DonaldTrump en zijn grote voorbeeld #WilliamMcKinley. #McKinley was dol op handelstarieven (50%) en heeft met geweld diverse stukken buitenland aan de #VerenigdeStaten toegevoegd, zoals de #Filipijnen, #PuertoRico, het Pacifische eiland #Guam en #Hawaii. Tevens zette deze president de eerste stappen voor de aanleg van het #Panamakanaal.

    O, en hij werd uiteindelijk vermoord tijdens een massale rally, maar dat zal wel een verschil zijn. 😊

    So modern French is basically Puerto Rican French, is what I'm getting. Francés #Boricua, if you will.

  27. On Puerto Rico and TFG (links at end)

    An official statement from Radical Elders:

    At the Trump rally in Madison Square Garden this past Sunday, October 27, the comedian who opened the event made outrageous statements including calling Puerto Rico a “garbage island”. What makes this act of racist aggression all the worse is that the rally was held on the 50th anniversary of the Day of Solidarity with the Independence of Puerto Rico event at that same Madison Square Garden. It was the largest demonstration in favor of Puerto Rican independence in this country’s history and it filled the 20,000 seat Garden with diverse people....

    (NBC 2021): New probe confirms Trump officials blocked Puerto Rico from receiving hurricane aid
    The Trump administration also obstructed an investigation looking into why it was depriving the U.S. territory of congressionally approved funds, the report found.

    Puerto Rico a year after Hurricane Maria (2018) Trump’s Twitter Storm shows contempt for human rights. Read Amnesty International’s stories from the field.

  28. @tomiahonen
    REMEMBER that T**** actually asked to "meet with the president of #PuertoRico" when he visited after #HurricaneMaria, questioning why it was "#America's responsibility" to rescue the decimated island "nation". 🤦‍♂️

    He then slow-walked aid & relief efforts. It was 5 months before most of the power was restored (can you just imagine being w/o electricity for 5 months... particularly during a South Atlantic Summer?) 😵

  29. #PuertoRico, which is home to >3 million #American #citizens, …experienced significant outward migration to the mainland US after #HurricaneMaria ravaged the island territory in 2017.

    #PuertoRicans who live on the island are not eligible to vote in presidential elections (the commonwealth does hold elections & award delegates to both Democratic & Republican primary candidates) despite being #US citizens.

  30. #Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov #TimWalz, responded to the comedian’s comments.…

    “People in #PuertoRico are #citizens. They pay tax & they #serve in the #military at almost a higher rate than anybody else,” Walz added, knocking #Trump for his response to #HurricaneMaria in 2017 — including a now-famous video clip of the then-president tossing paper towel rolls to #PuertoRicans seeking aid.
