So you guys are gonna have to take some time to get used to this, but Puerto Ricans already had to.
The airspace over P.R. was closed while Trump was running his bombing runs over Venezuela. Travel was disrupted for two weeks, and everyone was trapped on the island.
Reopening the airspace was the START of resolving the travel backlog. People were having trouble buying flights and the airports were packed.
He isn't just going to kick people out, he's going to have to stop some people from leaving, too. Aggressive border control is bi-directional. He buys the acquiescence of Americans by making us think any actions against Americans are "mistakes". Just wait
Systems built to keep some people out can also easily be used to keep some people in. We aren't used to thinking of it that way.

2/🚩 The behavior described looks very similar to how powerful people are identified, studied, and slowly drawn into compromising relationships—
Especially through their close friends and family.
3/🚩 Warning signs can include the use of controlled romantic or sexual partners, mixing social access with business opportunities, and maintaining close contact with a known predator.
1/ This breaking exclusive story from Reuters (sourced from her office) looks like an effort to retroactively justify and normalize Tulsi Gabbard's presence at the recent Georgia raid by framing it as part of a broader ODNI election security mission. I can explain:
2/ Between Feb 1–4, Gabbard told Congress her Georgia role falls under ODNI's election security authority and is tied to a long running assessment of electronic voting systems.
3/ At the same time, this newly-public Puerto Rico operation is now being highlighted as proof of that "long running" work, with ODNI emphasizing vulnerabilities and alleged foreign‑interference risks to make Georgia look like one more node in an existing program.
Tyler Shears is in the #EpsteinFiles because he directly worked PR for Epstein. He was also the CTO (and responsible for "deep dive due diligence on all new investments and company projects") at The Ingersoll Group during the time when Keith Ingersoll was committing crimes there.
Me in 2023: "If Millennials think we're having a hard time now, the madness & the chaos that would be unleashed in a 2nd Trump presidency would be unmatched by any other point in American history, & I think that none of us want to live through that"
You can see my eye twitching.
Anthony Davis: He knows he's 'Above the Law' and he kind of is.
Me: He kind of is. He kind of is. I mean, when you think about an equivalent, you could think about someone like Elon Musk.
Some stories wound me in the writing. The toll is a stress that burrows deep during research. When the weight grows unbearable, when it overwhelms, I step back, breathe, think. But I will not be ruled by fear. My allegiance is to democracy, and the stakes could not be higher.
The cunning of fear is that it needs no chains. It merely suggests that tomorrow is soon enough, that someone else will speak, and that the risk outweighs the duty. Fear stops the hand before it writes, and closes the throat before it speaks.
Fear is a thief of motion. It wins not by persuasion, but by paralysis. It whispers in our ear that stillness is safety, that silence protects. It makes cowards feel wise, inaction feel reasonable, retreat feel like strategy. So nothing moves. The moment passes, and passes again.
