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.

another sea of humanity on el casco de San Juan, in front of our capitol hill, our Congreso.

a show of protests signs from those 12 days, from left to right: 1. FUERA POLICÍA; police get out the governor was infamous for his abuse of power and treating police as his private army 2. ABAJO EL PATRIARCADO; down with patriarchy protests had been happening for ages en La Isla but what ignited the 12 days of rage were leaks of chatlogs where Roselló & his cronies slandered and slurred many activists and at one point even joked about throwing some of them in jail so they could get raped. 3. BLACK & WHITE PUERTO RICAN FLAG is both our distress flag and the symbol of the independence national movement that was led by Don Pedro Albizu Campos and which was a straight offshoot of our abolitionist movement (and hence, led by Afroboricuas). 4. SOMOS MÁS Y NO TENEMOS MIEDO we are more and we have no fear.
