About this day, July 25. "Most expected that... U.S. would either incorporate Puerto Rico or grant it independence. Instead, Puerto Ricans traded one colonial master for another, and the great-great-grandchildren of those who hoped for statehood or sovereignty are still waiting to this day."

The legal battle over Puerto Rico's beaches : Planet Money : NPR
Puerto Rico's beaches are an integral part of life on the island, and by law, they're one of the few places that are truly public. In practice, the sandy stretch of land where the water meets the shore is one of the island's most contested spaces.Today we're featuring an episode ..

This is one of the things in the forefront of our minds when thinking about returning home, specially the last words, and their deeper meaning.

Great to see more people moving into this platform, while slowly leaving the other place behind. #Twitter is becoming increasingly hard to navigate, and lately showing content you already marked as "not interested". Glad to be part of the #Spoutible community.

In Puerto Rico, March 2 marks the anniversary of when, in 1917, the U.S. Congress granted U.S. citizenship to anyone born in the islands. But for some Puerto Ricans, American Citizenship Day is a grim reminder of their unequal citizenship rights.

Victory! "The Mayagüez Zoo will close permanently. This after federal intervention and investigation by agencies such as USDA and USFWS. Federal laws were being violated at the zoo and an agreement was reached with the DRNA to transfer the animals to sanctuaries." - From Journalist Valeria Collazo.

You may not follow news about #PuertoRico outside of hurricane aftermaths and if you try to follow media here it's mostly a highly politicized disaster of its own kind.

"While there have been some attempts to shift toward multiple types of renewables, experts agree that solar is the best renewable option for Puerto Rico. The archipelago could produce over four times the energy it needs from rooftop solar alone, according to preliminary results of a two-year study..

As Puerto Rico moves toward its stated goal of 100 percent renewable energy by 2050, there are still gigantic leaps that need to be taken if it plans to reach that target date, though it is becoming increasingly unlikely that such monumental steps will be taken.
