Important story from @fdejesusfebles in @LatNewsletter. The displacement of our people by rich, tax-cheating Americans is an ongoing crisis that is directly tied to Puerto Rico's colonial status. thelatinonewsletter.org/p/puerto-rican…

New: Investigators found that leaders of a prison gang in Puerto Rico were selling inmates drugs in exchange for voting for Gov. Jenniffer González-Colón, a longtime Republican. After Trump’s election, prosecutors were told not to pursue charges. propub.li/4dp615e

Explosive new reporting on the pro-statehood party in Puerto Rico, led by MAGA governor Jenniffer González. This is only the latest evidence of the ways the pro-statehood movement on the island has essentially become a criminal organization.

Que quede claro: como bien explica @epantojasgarcia en su artículo, lo que está "muerta" es la estadidad. Cuando abandonemos la fantasía de que el Congreso concederá la anexión y reclamemos con fuerza nuestra independencia, entonces veremos como se mueve el asunto de estatus.

And if you're in NYC, Philadelphia, or the DMV, meet the author and learn more at one of these upcoming events!

An important new book from scholar and journalist @FromSteveHowell on the history of U.S. repression of the Puerto Rican independence movement. Get your copy today: a.co/d/0fP3366U

An important developing story. Stay tuned for action on this issue to support threatened communities!

Great piece in @guardian, featuring insights from our very own @JenaroAbraham, on the growing Puerto Rican independence movement. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/a…

In the 1940s, Puerto Rican independence seemed like it was a real possibility. But Washington claimed the island’s economy could not survive without the US and deployed the FBI to persecute and covertly disrupt groups fighting for independence.jacobin.com/2026/04/puerto…

Boricuas, amigos y aliados en Madrid: Acompáñanos el 2 mayo en El Antillano para este evento especial con uno de nuestros líderes, @MrChrisSoto. Ayúdanos a crear comunidad y conciencia en España sobre la urgencia de descolonizar a Puerto Rico.

Boricuas and friends in Lancaster, PA! Come hang out with us on Saturday at Dan’s Pub to create community and chat about our efforts toward Puerto Rico’s decolonization. We’ll be there as part of the National Puerto Rican Agenda national summit. Join us!

Puerto Rico is usually discussed in Washington as if it's a burden. But I'll be taking a different tack: the island is actually a colony the US could not afford to lose - and used repression to keep. If you're in the area, join me on May 12. RSVP here: eventbrite.com/e/cold-war-pue…
