Bad Bunny's video about Puerto Rico is a raw microcosm of what actual colonialism looks like in 2022 under U.S. rule.

It is no surprise that Fiona exposed what so many Puerto Ricans already knew: that the colony is dying right before our eyes and nothing has really changed.

days before Fiona swept through Puerto Rico. “Five years later, we are still exposed to the same risk.”Puerto Ricans living in Puerto Rico are American citizens, as so many fellow Americans like to remind you, but they have never been treated equally, and part of that is directly tied to racist laws that.

POTUS fails Puerto Rico

We are back again ! again !again! again! again!

When will PR be able to stand on there own. I Remembe seeing all of those American relief supply that were found in a wearhouse and not used. PR is no more then a military base for the USA, that should be closed and turned over to the people of the Island, Set PR free from USA

If Trump was still President they would at least have paper towels.

The Liberals believe that if you send them money all problems will magically go away. Hint: It does not work that way.

julito77 When a guy called 'Bad Bunny' is the advocate and no one even knows the name of the governor, you know that something is wrong.......

julito77 Start paying federal income tax if you want the financial support of the U.S. Government.

julito77 Maybe check the storage facilities, I heard there’s plenty of supplies there.

julito77 Pass on reading this garbage

julito77 If US can not help their own Puerto Rico with democracy and corruption prevention/fighting, what the hell US is doing in Ukraine wasting $$$$$$?

julito77 Forget the masses who do not care & think Perto Rico is a foreign country to concentrate on statehood and electing Democrats who beleive in statehood now!

julito77 Why should anyone care about Puerto Rico anymore? It's a shit hole run by corrupt politicians. Every time the United States give them Aid they put it in their own pocket.

julito77 Dumb headline

When do they start complaining about the FEMA response?

Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States. The left makes sure they tell everyone they are US citizens (even though they don’t pay federal taxes). But now, it’s under US rule… 🙄
