Found heaven in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico

#RioGrande, #PuertoRico #silentsunday #photography #beach #palmtrees #coconuts #heaven

so, if y’all didn’t know, though i was born in #NYC, i grew up all the way into adulthood in #PuertoRico. so USA culture is like my adopted cousin twice removed culture.

which is why i didn’t grow up with Dr. Seuss or Thomas The Tank Engine books or tv. so when i became a mom, Dr. Seuss was a yeah but the creepy, proto-fascist train was a rotund, NO!

others agree with me

I'm sorry I don't remember the names of peeps who asked me about ICE operations in #PuertoRico I hope y'all still with me

Because here's a better answer than whatever I might have said at the time:

Saqué un ratito para hablar de las tormentas plataneras en #PuertoRico y de la tormenta permanente que eligieron en noviembre pasado y se nos viene encima.

Can't quote tweet on mobile lol but Puerto Ricans!! There's a Mastodon instance for us! Boriken Social: https://boriken.social/@Jdm2/114082404986603944

The header banner is the Mastodon mascot dressed up as a jibarito and it's officially the best version ever now

ES: Gente puertorriqueña, hay un server de mastodon para nosotros. Se llama Boriken Social: https://boriken.social/@Jdm2/114082404986603944

El header es la mascota del site vestido como jibarito y te digo, ahora no hay mejor versión que ese

When Bad Bunny sang “Quieren quitarme el río y también la playa”, from ‘LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii’, the lyrics squeezed my heart because the same exploitation has been happening in my country.

@blogdiva sé que te va a encantar. Empezando con el seis chorreao.

Newly declassified documents reveal that the CIA used Puerto Rico for an operation to poison shipments of sugar from Cuba to the USSR, and that a former Governor of Puerto Rico was a direct CIA asset.

Except THIS is not how any of this works!....

• All it will do is see the #USA as #unpredictable, #unstable and less #trustworthy than the "P.R." #China or even #Russia under #Putin.

#Trump literally lashing out against friends and neighbours will only backfire hard, and I expect @EUCommission and @europarl_en to enact #PrizeFreezes for #US #products & #services whilst forcing #Retaliatory #Tariffs on all US #products and espechally #services, demanding 100%+ in all #fees, and #revenue of #GAFAMs' services and products to the point that they'll effectively cancel half their revenue that flows back.

• Plus forcing all products and services to be processed and sold via a #EU-based #corporation and adding a 30% "#AlienTax" as the #USA already does for i.e. #App #developers that ain't from the US even if they never sold a single license to a US customer.

Not to mention cancelling any #DataProtection agreements that only stalled the foreseeable court decision that #CloudAct is incompatible with #GDPR, thus banning #Office365 / #Microsoft365, #iCloud et. al. from the EU!

• And yes, this level of #retaliation is not only just, but #overdue, as we need @european_alternatives / #EuropeanAlternatives to #VISA, #AMEX, #MasterCard, #PayPal, #Steam, etc.

Given #Trump can't be assed to even fake any #loyality or #allied status even for the cameras, this is a #ForeseeableConsequence.

• As only with #Accountability and #Consequences will we see change, and punishing the GAFAMs is a neessity in this regard.

Unless we want to end up #downgraded into the state of a US-occupied overseas possession without statehood, like #Guam, #PuertoRico or #AVI...

Hello from Puerto Rico! #HelloWorld #PuertoRico #language #linguistics

GRACIAS @Jdm2 FOR BOOSTING @ShairaLeiza onto my timeline with this amazing rendition of Bobby Capó’s Poquita Fé by his grandson, Pedro.

Pedro Capó - Poquita Fe - YouTube -

to y’all non-portorros: Bobby Capó was one of the most prolific and successful Puerto Rican and afrolatino songwriters of the 20th century.

just like y’all have Cole Porter standards, we en Puerto Rico have Bobby Capó standards, and this is a timeless classic.

ENJOY!
