My brilliant mother (1929-2022) had slowly progressing dementia from her mid-70s. Getting and using power of attorney and health proxy authority was critical to my brother and I being able to protect her. Why is Senator Feinstein surrounded by staff and not family? #DiFi

Senator Diane Feinstein has a daughter and granddaughter, both apparently fully functioning adults. It puzzles me that one or both of them are not asserting themselves to protect her via power of attorney and health proxy. #DiFi

Ecosia - the search engine that plants trees
Ecosia uses the ad revenue from your searches to plant trees where they are needed the most. By searching with Ecosia, you’re not only reforesting our planet, but you’re also empowering the communities around our planting projects to build a better future for themselves. Give it a try!

Ignorance of the history and PRESENT of US colonies is perpetuated. Congress imposed US citizenship 1917 to suppress pro-independence politics, without creating a path to statehood. That's why Puerto Ricans are US citizens living in a US "territory" i.e. colony.

New York State, the original heartland of the Puerto Rican diaspora, makes ZERO mention of Puerto Rico or Puerto Ricans in its K-12 Social Studies Standards. Teachers can bring these topics in as case studies where allowed.

The Second Amendment was not extended to Puerto Rico as one of the "basic constitutional protections" that new US colonies could have in the early 1900s. Colonized Puerto Ricans, even after being made US citizens in 1917, did not have the right to bear arms. Makes perfect imperialist sense.

A Belize Town enslaved woman named Peggy was flogged, chained, jailed, beaten, then locked up by her enslaver Dr. William Mansfield Bowen in July/August 1822. She lodged a complaint against him with the colonial authorities. Many enslaved women testified for her at trial. The jury of enslavers...
