i did sound the alarm about the #MAGA #Republican #GOP prisoner buying scheme uncovered in Puerto Rico in 2018; which became yet another grievance that triggered #RickyRenuncia. that was the weeks long #GeneralStrike of 2019 that ended up ousting the governor of #PuertoRico ―the first ever ousting of a governor by the people in the history of La Isla and the United States.

USA doesn't have a problem of unsecure elections. it has a problem of securely corrupt elections.

CW: re: US politics, no kings
@solonovamax peaceful protest can work sometimes
The velvet divorce is an example, as was #RickyRenuncia
But the federal government is really entrenched
People don’t tend to do that until they can no longer survive, as in they are at imminent risk of not making it to see next month

that’s why Puerto Ricans flexed our centuries long history of anticolonialist and anticapitalist resistance and shut shit down en La Isla for 2 weeks during the summer of 2019
https://mastodon.social/@blogdiva/112208331867673411
and what is most significant about the #RickyRenuncia protests is that
🗣 THE VAST MAJORITY OF PUERTO RICANS PROTESTING WHERE NOT UNIONIZED
a 24-hour strike won’t change anything. sustained disruption & protest will.
Puerto Rico 2019 is a blueprint of what’s possible against gringo tyranny /🧵

have to say this with the chest, hoping @indivisibleteam get the memo:
the #RickyRenuncia protests sparked by #Telegramgate are the second longest, sustained protest in the United States after Occupy Wall Street ―and they got rid of their nepobaby, rape-enabling, corruptocrat governor.
MOST AMERICANS ARE NOT UNIONIZED.
how are folks paying rent, mortgages, health care, food without income?
Strike Funds existed for a reason. that’s why Puerto Ricans chose a different strategy & succeeded.

UPDATE 2:
since @hrefna has been quite vocal on here about fake #strikes
https://hachyderm.io/@hrefna/113989429417162630just wanted to point out, #RickyRenuncia started as one organized protest with the intention of it breaking up into smaller manifestaciones across the island and over time, EXACTLY BECAUSE A GENERAL STRIKE WOULD FAIL.
most workers in Puerto Rico are NOT unionized. it’s boneheaded to ask individual workers to lose wages or their jobs.
yet another example of meeting people where they are.

for the straight-laced normies in the back,
perreo isn’t just twerking. it is done with the least amount of clothing you can get away with.
perreos en Puerto Rico are off shoots of vogueing, so the mix of people you find in a perreo are mostly LGBTQI folks. these are trans-inclusive, sex-worker inclusive, public spaces carved out by way beyond dirty and truly indecent dancing.
THIS IS WHAT MEETING PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE MEANS.
and it’s why #RickyRenuncia was successful.
-
the point of all of this is that, people were protesting and expressing their discontent from where they were.
it was protest at all times, everywhere, anywhere by everybody.
THE 2019 #RickyRenuncia PROTESTS IS WHAT MEETING PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE LOOKS LIKE.
and that means EVERYBODY.
there were no respectability politics to be had. every day, en la calle San Juan, the one bordering La Fortaleza, a perreo ―La Isla’s answer to twerking― would take place in protest:

UPDATE!

VICE, again, with a synopsis of how #RickyRenuncia ended.
Puerto Rico's Governor Finally Listened to the Island and Resigned
https://youtu.be/ooIE3YhmEN4much has happened since then and, unfortunately, Ricky couldn’t take with him #LaJunta, the biggest stab in the back by Obama and Biden to La Isla.
but, in truth, they cannot do it without Americans joining in and attacking, head on, the Silicon Valley #techbros and Wall Street #finbros usurpation of the USGOV and Treasury.
the time is NOW. /🧵

this is by Univisión, 7 days into the protests. turn on close-captioning for auto-generated translation
❝ Las manifestaciones durante el séptimo día fueron lideradas por varios sindicatos. El Colegio de Abogados dio a conocer un estudio que demostraría que en el chat Rosselló cometió delitos que serían la evidencia para iniciar un juicio político. Las peticiones para que el gobernador de la isla dimita al cargo continuarán…❞

BTW the Washington Post has an almost 3 hours long record of the 2019 #RickyRenuncia protests in Puerto Rico

unfortunately, the only examples of the #RickyRenuncia cacerolazos i could find are FB videos:
2. in Aguadilla
https://www.facebook.com/BanderaRoja/videos/cacerolazo-en-aguadilla-rickyrenuncia/348841682698580/every night, at 7pm, the #cacerolazo would start in Puerto Rico, ALL ACROSS THE ISLAND. hundreds of thousands kept the protests going while people were getting ready to sleep. it was a reminder that la lucha continua.
i believe if was that situational tactic that kept the protests going for 15 days.

for those of you who do not know about the 2019 #RickyRenuncia #Telegramgate protests in Puerto Rico, here is a backgrounder by PBS:
❝ Massive protests filled San Juan's streets Monday, even as the heat index topped 100 degrees. Demonstrations have been growing for nearly two weeks since the release of damaging chat messages exchanged by Puerto Rican Gov. Ricardo Rossello and his inner circle.

Today in 2019, the Puerto Rican Governor resigns following twelve days of massive #RickyRenuncia street protests.
The public display of anger came after nearly 900 pages of profane and offensive private text messages were leaked in which sexist, homophobic and other derogatory language was repeatedly used.
Remember, people hold the power.

EC DECIDES POTUS NOT POPULAR VOTE
registered Democrats need to SCREAM at the DNC about their electoral strategy in & around GOP-controlled zero voter EC precincts.
many of them have private prisons. Stein, RFKJr, West are total distractions from those shady EC precincts.
what's worse? GOP mayors and governors have been trafficking prisoners to build these precincts. how do we know? it’s one of the scandals of #RickyRenuncia in Puerto Rico.

As nostalgicultra on Twitter said, “REMINDER FOR NON-BORICUAS 🇵🇷: Ricky resigned but please don’t let this story go away. this doesn’t just end with #RickyRenuncia, it can only end when Puerto Rico is free to decide its own fate in the world and is no longer held as a colony of the US. there’s so much to do still!”

@persi Li nomis politikistinon putino, kaj ke oni batu ŝin...
...ke li deziras pafi la urbestrinon de San Juan...
...ke fama PortoRika kantisto Ricky Martin estas patriarkulo subpremista, tiom multe ke tial li estas gejo, ĉar virinoj ne sufiĉas (!!!)...
tiuj ŝajne estis la plej ŝokaj......ankaŭ komentis ke pluraj registaraj laboristoj estas stultaj...
fine, li fiparolis pluraj segmentoj de la popolo PortoRika.
