There would be pros and cons for both. But I cannot see Puerto Rico becoming a state now that Trump has made English the official language. Puerto Rican Spanish is too big a piece of the culture to force it to be limited

Not all of the sudden. They don't teach you in schools but the Truman admin bombed 2 cities in PR that were rising for independence. Created laws to ban talking about independence. Made it illegal to fly the PR flag in PR Arrested and murdered independence leadership with radiation poisoning.

Cool, let me know when you have 60 votes in the Senate

It is changing, but I'm pretty sure the only independence the US has offered PR was sovereignty with free association that would allow the US final say on matters that would be "National Security" issues. Basically just statehood.

What you don't realize is that there has never been a real legal referendum vote with the actual options. The last congress attempted to pass a bill to oversee one but it was shelved in the Senate. Only the US Congress has the authority to change the status of PR

Pro-independent folks aren't denying people a vote. PR has been denied proper representation since her annexation. Given citizenship only to be added to the WW1 draft. Given commonwealth status because Truman bombed PR and his reelection was in doubt. But always denied a vote by Congress

My man Tanner had the best Eagles Preseason QB game since Sam Bradford made his Eagles debut in 2015.

Cam Newton averaged over 14 INTs per season. 123 interceptions in 148 games played.

The guy that had only 2 winning seasons and a sub 60% completion percentage.

Milton Williams and Josh Sweat are both very good players, but they had great seasons last year because of Jalen Carter forcing offenses game plan for him and swallowing up doubles all season long. I think Eagles will be just fine on the edge and secondary

Guánica is where US forces first landed on PR in the Spanish American War.

The difference between POTUS, who is an idiot, and Powell, who is brilliant, is clear to see here when it took him all of 5 seconds to look at Trump's new fake figures, spot the inaccuracy, and educate him on when the building was completed.

www.audacy.com/94wip/sports... Bryce Huff quit on the team before the season started. He admits that he knew he wasn't a fit at the first training camp. Instead of being a man and working through it, he pansied out and went through the motions. He doesn't deserve to get a ring with the team

Bryce Huff addresses awful season with Eagles, blaming the situation
Former Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Bryce Huff spoke about his disastrous 2025 season with the team on a recent podcast, saying he knew by training camp that he “wasn’t a fit.”

It wasn't until after receiving backlash in the mainland for the fascist bombing of US citizens did they grant PR the ability to "civilize" and file as a commonwealth while still exploiting PR resources to expand the US wealth and racial hierarchy.

Eric @njkid.bsky.social · 12/06/2025
Trump as POTUS hasn't come close to other levels of fascism of presidents' past. In 1948 the Fascist Truman admin forced PR to pass Ley de la Mordaza making it illegal to fly the PR Flag, sing songs about PR or even talk about independence and even bombed several PR cities in 1950.

It is the US calling all the shots. The island belongs to the US. The US Congress has final say on PR laws, PR funding, PR trade, including any status referendum to make PR a State, Independent, or keep status quo. A bill to even hold referendum vote didn't pass in the last congress

Not even that, because he has withheld Fema from Arkansas after devastation from tornados and from Tennessee where communities were ruined by record flooding and tornados. Federal assistance has become pay trump directly for play

What would be the point of shifting colonialism from the US back to Spain? There is no realistic circumstance where the US would give up strategic land to another country. It's even less likely than the US granting PR true independence without free association.

I think the US should "Manhattan Project" Quantum Computing to fast track our advancement in this area. The next generation of advancements in the world (medical, energy, physics, security) are going to be driven by Quantum.

5 years after Eagles parted with Andy, they won the Superbowl. Could they have kept Andy and still been a successful organization? Yes, but the Reid's needed the change personally just as much as the organization did.

They would also keep their military on the island. Most of the benefits of becoming an independent state would be lost in free association. Some say it is intentional to push the island toward Statehood.

One word that could be used to describe any and everything this administration does is: Unabashed Add it to every sentence about everything Republicans are doing. Unabashed GOP meets at 1am Unabashed pentagon accepts free plane Unabashed doj traffics people in defiance of court orders

The only thing is the court system runs in slow motion and even expedited cases lag for months before reaching a decision.

not to mention that the Trump admin just violated 2 court rulings and deported ppl after a judge told them they could not. We are waist high into a constitutional crisis, but the retired president that left us with the most envied economy in the world is fucking old

Don't get me started on the insurance industry! Customers should be able to buy insurance direct without legally being required to shop through a licensed broker that takes large commissions that are added to your premiums for filling out paperwork in most cases 1 time per year.

Eric @njkid.bsky.social · 21/05/2025
This opens up a bigger issue that I am passionate about Insurance is too expensive in this country There should be clear transparency to show how much of what we pay is going toward commissions for an insurance agent that files paperwork 1 time a year. I'm sure most people would be disgusted.

Puerto Rico has already been putting together a coalition with their neighbors for natural disaster support. Most notably with their Taino cousins in the Dominican Republic.

Quite honestly the only thing that could save Tesla sales now is to completely gut their board and CEO They have no future cars on deck, sales dropped dramatically, international boycotts of their CEO, just 4 months ago the board was trying to give Musk a $50 billion dollar pay package.

For our family that is the biggest hangup over choosing Independence or Statehood. Can the US be trusted to cut away and offer a truly sovereign independence to PR? Nothing in 120+ years has suggested the US would.
100
Eric @njkid.bsky.social · 23/04/2025
There was a bill in the House of Reps a few years back that offered state sponsored referendum votes. The "Independence" was free association and US military protection. which gives US the right to refusal of anything they deem a national security risk. Look at what Trump is doing based on "risk"

One you're speaking about the inclusivity of people and culture and the other is bashing a Colombian/Rican for embracing part of his culture for what appears to be the tone of his skin. Most of us Puerto Rican's, mixed or not and dark skinned or not, embrace our African history

Trumps "easy" trade war is not going as well as the thought.

Eric @njkid.bsky.social · 22/04/2025
He was sold that a trade war would be easy when trade is extremely complex. countries are doing less business with the US and are increasingly getting their goods from elsewhere because of the tariffs. It took 2 years for the Canada and Mexico trade deal to complete. Any 90-day "deals" would be BS
