  6. The Fifth Constitutional Convention of the #USVirginIslands passed a proposed constitution, sent to President Barack Obama, who submitted it to the US Congress on February 26, 2010. Disagreements over sovereignty, legal advantages, and the bill of rights led to the draft’s rejection.

    Epstein island photos, videos released by House Oversight Committee

    By Hailey Fuchs, 12/03/2025, 11:50am ET, Updated: 12/03/2025, 7:06pm ET, They are the first release from a new tranche of subpoenaed files that include also records from JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank.

    The House Oversight Committee has received new materials from major financial institutions as part of its investigation into the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as well as photos and videos of Epstein’s private compound from authorities in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

    The files from JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank have not yet been publicly released, though Democrats on the panel say they expect to release them in the coming days after a review. These documents are separate from the federal law enforcement records Congress voted to make public last month; the Justice Department is required to make those materials public later this month.

    “[House Oversight Democrats] intend to release files to the public in the days ahead,” said Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the panel, in a post on X. A spokesperson for the committee’s Republican majority confirmed the receipt of the materials.

    Democrats publicly posted videos and photos Wednesday that were provided by the government of the U.S. Virgin Islands, where Epstein owned his infamous private retreat.

  13. #USVirginIslands Becomes First Territory to Recognize #Trans and #Intersex Residents

    The U.S. #VirginIslands just made history with a new policy affirming trans and intersex residents.

    October 27, 2025

    "The U.S. Virgin Islands has become the first American territory to officially recognize #transgender and #intersex residents through a new executive order allowing #GenderMarker changes on identification documents."

  14. On October 13, the US Virgin Islands celebrates Virgin Islands/Puerto Rico Friendship Day.

    Problem is, over here in Puerto Rico many of us didn’t know this holiday existed.

    It is one of my life’s goals for this to be accepted as a formal holiday here in Puerto Rico. So yes, pass this info to your boricua neighbors. We gotta make this happen.

  15. Twelve years ago today, Pasquines began with a mission: to make sense of the #UnitedStatesTerritories through contextual, nuanced journalism. Since then, we’ve chronicled the moments that have shaped the past, reflected the present, and hinted at the future for #PuertoRico, #Guam, the #USVirginIslands, #AmericanSamoa, and the #NorthernMarianaIslands.

  16. WHOI: Harmful Algae: #Gambierdiscus

    - Benthic dinoflagellate genus
    - Over 18 defined species and several ribotypes identified
    - Found globally in tropical and subtropical regions
    - Produce #ciguatoxins, which may lead to:
    • Human illness (Ciguatera Poisoning)
    • Significant public health impacts
    • Economic losses associated with health-related costs and lost productivity

    "Taxonomic studies have identified at least 18 species within the Gambierdiscus genus, many of which co-occur and differ significantly in toxicity. At least ten of these species have been found in tropical and subtropical regions of the U.S., including #Hawaii, the #GulfOfMexico, the #FloridaKeys, #PuertoRico, and the #USVirginIslands.

    "Temperature is a key factor controlling CTX occurrence, and laboratory experiments investigating the influence of temperature on growth of various Gambierdiscus species have shown that most species exhibit maximum growth rates between 24–30°C, but that growth responses varied by species. For example, temperature tolerances vary among species, although all are sensitive to higher temperatures, with steep declines in growth as temperatures exceed ~31°C.

    "Thus higher temperatures may favor growth of more thermally tolerant species in ciguatera endemic regions, and promote establishment of species shown to be less tolerant in subtropical and temperate regions. Warm surface temperatures may also favor increased abundance of Gambierdiscus populations in deeper waters.

    "There is recent evidence of geographic range expansion of #Gambierdiscus and CP into higher latitudes in U.S. waters, associated with climate-driven warming. Over the past two decades CP and CTXs were reported for the first time in the northern Gulf of Mexico, and ephemeral populations of Gambierdiscus have also been documented in #NorthCarolina. Prolonged periods of elevated water temperatures at these locations and in northern Florida are hypothesized to result in increased Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa cell densities."
