Brent’s tree bloomed at Lippmann just as he did, as we all did under your care. Dear Ann Marie, thanks for been a true curator of purpose and joy.
Classmates of Brent Renaud, the gifted journalist killed in Ukraine, planted this tree in the @niemanfoundation.bsky.social garden. It’s an Arkansas black apple from Brent’s home state & I worried whether the spindly specimen could thrive here. This week it bloomed spectacularly. Of course it did.

Vuelve a irse la luz, y recuerdo estas palabras de Josué Colón ayer en entrevista con Rafael Lenín López: “Es verdad que el sistema de energía de Puerto Rico es un sistema que no está en óptimas condiciones… pero tampoco eso implica que estemos sufriendo apagones generales cada tres o cuatro meses”.

Como orgullosa egresada del bachillerato en Historia de la #UniversidaddePuertoRico en Río Piedras, digo que pretender eliminar ese grado —y el ataque directo a las Humanidades— es querer transformar a nuestro pueblo en uno servil y complaciente, que desconozca y olvide las causas de sus miserias.
