While the world 🌎 leads a humanitarian mission to end the genocide in Palestine 🇵🇸 🕊️

Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 is forced to support deadly US military 🇺🇸aggression against Venezuela 🇻🇪

What a dark colonial contrast

It may be Venezuela 🇻🇪 in 2025 … but since 1898 ?

One of Puerto Rico 🇵🇷‘s core purposes as a US colony 🇺🇸 has always been to facilitate US military interventions among its neighbors in Latin America …

James Carville sayin Dems should “unilaterally” force US Statehood 🇺🇸on Puerto Rico 🇵🇷—is just as colonial as Trump saying the US should make Greenland 🇬🇱 or Canada 🇨🇦 a US state 🇺🇸

Denying people sovereignty for needs of empire —

Is wrong for BOTH Republicans & Democrats

Boricuas want an end to the US appointed colonial junta 🇺🇸(FOMB) ruling over Puerto Rico ‘s 🇵🇷elected govt

This is NOT that

This is restructuring la junta to better serve Trump & holders of the archipelago’s colonial debt who demand even MORE austerity than PR has already suffered

Wild to watch Eric Adams & Tom Homan say they are working around the @council.nyc.gov in secret to attack immigrants on Fox News this AM

Eric Adams offered to trade away New Yorkers to keep selling off NYC just a bit longer

Hell is not hot enough
