your auntifa liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦ok, i’ve watched it again and am now processing all the awesomeness. no disrespect, but Lady Gaga was the weakest link.
ENISGÜEIS, have to make an inventory of all the references, but know:
USA forced the privatization of Puerto Rico’s electric grid, la AEE, busting our oldest #labor #union. protests mounted after #HurricaneMaría; then #Telegramgate happened
those AEE posts are symbol of the labor unions that laid the groundwork for the 2019 protests

«Se puede trabajar en una finca con solo un machete y una azada, ¡eso es todo lo que se necesita! Pero una cosa que aprendimos después del huracán es que mucha gente ya no sabe cómo usar los machetes».
“You can work a farm with just a machete and a hoe, that’s all you need! But one thing we learnt after the hurricane is that a lot of people don’t know how to use machetes anymore”

El nombre del proyecto «Raíces de Soberanía» surgió al debatir sobre los efectos del huracán María. La importancia de los tubérculos tradicionales, como la malanga, la yuca y el ñame, se hizo evidente para muchos cuando todos los demás cultivos, que no crecen bajo tierra como estos, quedaron destruidos. Los agricultores mayores ayudaron a los más jóvenes a propagar estos cultivos, garantizando así el intercambio de conocimientos y el crecimiento de la soberanía alimentaria.
The name for the project “Raíces de Soberanía”, came about when discussing the impacts of Hurricane Maria. The importance traditional root crops like, Malanga, Yuca and Ñame became obvious to many when all other crops, which do not grow underground like these, were destroyed. Old farmers helped younger ones propagate these crops, ensuring knowledge be shared and food sovereignty grown!

El huracán María causó una destrucción enorme cuando azotó Puerto Rico en 2017. No solo dejó a la gente sin comida, agua ni electricidad durante meses, sino que también causó daños importantes en muchas granjas. Sin embargo, la resiliencia de la naturaleza puede inspirarnos y las crisis pueden ser momentos importantes para reflexionar, reorganizarnos y volver a imaginar lo que es posible.
Hurricane Maria caused extensive destruction when it hit Puerto Rico in 2017. Only only were people left with no food, water and electricity for months, but many farms were significantly damaged. However the resilience of nature can inspire us and crises can be powerful moments to reflect, reorganise and reimagine what is possible.
DoomsdaysCW#PuertoRicans are devising the #FoodSystem of tomorrow
by Ayurella Horn-Muller, September 3, 2025
Excerpt: "In the wake of #HurricaneMaria, many residents of #PuertoRico, especially those working to improve the archipelago’s local food system, began to think about hurricane preparedness differently. Because they weren’t able to rely on federal assistance, they decided to build their own prototypes of #resilience, which didn’t just set them up to be ready for the next storm, but also set them up to live better everyday lives. #Cooperatives, #gardens, and school-based agricultural programs emerged to fill the gaps left by the government. #Barter networks and local farmers markets have become increasingly popular. #MutualAid kitchens and community-led supermarkets have also expanded their work, ramping up donations, surplus food, and partnerships with nearby producers. These projects aren’t just temporary disaster responses. They are models of long-term resilience and food independence. They are living blueprints of what food sovereignty could look like in Puerto Rico — and elsewhere."

Government Dysfunction and LUMA’s Infighting Stall Puerto Rico’s Power Grid Recovery
The outlook is grim. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has announced that its secretary will now personally review any grant or contract award exceeding $100,000 before the funds can be committed, the agency told the Centro de Periodismo Investigativo.
🗣 TAKE #PuertoRico OUT OF YOUR SETTLER COLONIAL MOUTHS
where was Stern & Democrats when Clinton was destroying our economy so his capitalist cronies could move their factories to China?
where were they when Obama set up a dictatorial junta of Wall Street vultures feasting on the carcass of our public sector ―that they killed with bogus municipal bonds they had their batatero cronies sell?
4664 weren’t killed by #HurricaneMaria. they were killed by Obama’s Junta and Trump’s callousness… 🧵

The island imports more than 80 percent of its food, and residents already face rising prices and supply chain issues.
