Why aren’t people talking about the endgame to this? Where are the alarm bells being sounded that this is a pretext to suspend the elections next year and in 2028? Come on now!

The opposition needs to flood the zone. Disprove the lies. Photos and video overwhelming social media.

Aurora Santiago Ortiz @santiaaurora.bsky.social · 13d

And so how can people create a counter narrative that floods the zone? People need to start using the same tools en masse to disprove this mess and grab the headlines.

Save 30% on #NewBook "Homesick," by Nicholas Shapiro, which examines the US government's distribution of over 120,000 toxic trailers following Hurricane Katrina, their devastating health effects, and the need to create new forms of accountability and change. #EnvStudies #FEMA buff.ly/YDhRXx0

Cover of Homesick by Nicholas Shapiro. A small white mobile home is at the center of cover image, with a single window and a pipe protruding from its base. The scene is quiet and minimal, with gravel and asphalt in the foreground and large trees framing the background. The title “Homesick” appears in large, minimalistic serif text across the bottom, with the author’s name in smaller capital letters beneath it.

Curious how the ones in Puerto Rico don’t show up. Because the archipelago isn’t even on the map. So tired.

Puerto Rico is being used for military exercises and of course both mainstream and independent media isn’t reporting. The colony remains invisible.
