"I’m sure this has nothing to do with skin color. …
Puerto Ricans and Native Americans are getting swept up in the Trump administration’s performative immigration raids across the country."

#US #ICE agents are arresting and deporting #Dominican citizens from #PuertoRico as part of #Trump's ordered deportation wave. Due to the island's colonial status, #PuertoRicans have no sovereignty over immigration policy in their homeland.

YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE 
of why I'm becoming increasingly skeptical #OrangeHitler actually legitimately won the election.
People upset over #Gaza voting for #BibisBuddy? #PuertoRicans voting for the guy who invited a comedian to call them "a floating island of garbage"? #Union members voting against #Harris (who walked the picket line with them) in favor of the guy who praised Elon Musk for his union busting? Women voting to protect #Roe ALSO voting for the guy who overturned it? 
@RonSupportsYou
Maybe, but the Youth vote didn't abandon her the way minority voters did, which is simply mindboggling.
70% of #PuertoRicans in Osceola County #Florida voted for #TheOrangeMenace. 
Hispanic men were drawn by #PizzaTheHut's "muy macho" message.
"The prejudicial portrayal [of #PuertoRicans has never left the American cultural lexicon. For as long as I can remember, “jokes” about us Puerto Ricans have always failed. Americans never seem to learn."

"It would be undeniably hilarious if an objectively terrible yet racist joke cost Donald Trump the presidency. Karma itself could not conceive of a better way to deny this ill duce the 'Get Out of Everything' card that he—and the Republicans on the Supreme Court—imagine the presidency to be."

"It’s not dying down, Donald.
If the Trump campaign had hopes that the whole thing about Puerto Rico being called a 'floating island of garbage' at the MAGA hate rally would blow over, they were in for a rude next day assessment."

"What a sweet, sweet victory it would be if Puerto Ricans turned the page on Donald Trump. Perhaps they could toss him a roll of paper towels to take to prison."

Who can't vote unless they live in the United States, not in #PuertoRico.
Kinda like when I lived in DC & could vote for a congressional #delegate" from DC but not a Congressman or Senator. 
At least I could vote for the #POTUS when I lived there but not Puerto Ricans living in Puerto Rico. 
KAMALA HARRIS SHOULD BE OPENLY DISCUSSING PUERTO RICO STATEHOOD TODAY!
PEURTO RICO MUST BE MADE THE 51ST STATE! 
A #Trump #Rally #Speaker #Trashed #PuertoRicans. #Democratic #PresidentialNominee #KamalaHarris Reached Out to Them.
Her #campaign moved swiftly to #highlight that even as a #speaker at Trump’s rally in #NewYork made #offensive #remarks about #PuertoRico and #Latinos, she was visiting #PuertoRican #voters in #Philadelphia.

#PuertoRico, which is home to >3 million #American #citizens, …experienced significant outward migration to the mainland US after #HurricaneMaria ravaged the island territory in 2017.
#PuertoRicans who live on the island are not eligible to vote in presidential elections (the commonwealth does hold elections & award delegates to both Democratic & Republican primary candidates) despite being #US citizens.

…#Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov #TimWalz, responded to the comedian’s comments.…
“People in #PuertoRico are #citizens. They pay tax & they #serve in the #military at almost a higher rate than anybody else,” Walz added, knocking #Trump for his response to #HurricaneMaria in 2017 — including a now-famous video clip of the then-president tossing paper towel rolls to #PuertoRicans seeking aid.

@farewellwanderlust Thanks for recommending Olga Dies Dreaming. What an engaging cast of characters and commentary on #Brooklyn, #PuertoRico, #PuertoRicans in #NewYork, #capitalism, #inequality, #colonialism, #racism, and #identity. Good to hear this voice in modern #American #literaryfiction.

...or maybe he was planning to publically generously throw all his toilet paper at #PuertoRicans next time...?
