that’s why Puerto Ricans flexed our centuries long history of anticolonialist and anticapitalist resistance and shut shit down en La Isla for 2 weeks during the summer of 2019

and what is most significant about the #RickyRenuncia protests is that
🗣 THE VAST MAJORITY OF PUERTO RICANS PROTESTING WHERE NOT UNIONIZED
a 24-hour strike won’t change anything. sustained disruption & protest will.
Puerto Rico 2019 is a blueprint of what’s possible against gringo tyranny /🧵
the only US citizens Americans should be taking protesting cues from are PUERTORRIQUEÑOS.
why? Puerto Rico is bound, muzzled & knee-capped by the USA constitution YET our people took to the streets, IN THE ISLAND & WORLDWIDE, and changed the government in 12 days of non-stop protests.
PROTESTS WORK.
so much so, USA media wants you to forget those 12 days of protests when writing of the global unrests of 2019.
WE ARE MORE AND WE HAVE NO FEAR; somos más y no tenemos miedo.
