When will liberals who love to say Puerto Rico is part of the U.S. grow up and use the word “colony” to aptly describe the relationship? Like what do they think territorial status is???

This is the only newsletter I subscribe to! You should become a member as well! Lots of thought provoking content, a great community space and I especially enjoy Alicia's Desk Book Club! I have learnt so much by being a member.

I'm doing an end-of-year push for my newsletter in order to bankroll a new publication I'll be launching in 2026. Annual membership is as low as $30 to provide access to a robust community, smart conversation, and culture work that can't be found elsewhere. www.aliciakennedy.news/upgrade

In over 5+ years of publishing, this is my first campaign for subscriptions. It has been a well-oiled machine that has worked without big pushes or too much paywalling. That is no longer the case, and while I know times are tough for everyone, this newsletter provides a lot for a low cost.

Good news! Lucky Brand to pay $500,000 to garment workers.
This case has immediate impact ($$$ in people's hands) & sets a precedent: No matter the layers of opaque ownership, brands are ultimately responsible for the consequences of their purchasing practices.
