Trump vs. Puerto Rico

I found hashtag #TrumpKillsPuertoRico trending on Twitter, and it referred to

MeidasTouch.com on Twitter: " NEW VIDEO

Trump has no regard for human life. It started with the 3,000 Americans he murdered in Puerto Rico and it continues with 200,000 Americans he has murdered this year. End the crime spree. #TrumpKillsPuertoRico https://t.co/Fh5H6lo1if" / Twitter

Trump no respeta la vida humana. Empezó con los 3,000 americanos que mató en Puerto Rico y continúa con los 200,000 americanos que ha matado este año. Démosle fin a la ola de crímenes

That looks like an anti-Trump and anti-Republican ad. At the end it praised Joe Biden.

MeidasTouch.com on Twitter: "We are expanding our TV ad buys to win back the senate to 12 states for 13 Senate seats (GA x2!). We need your help. We are already on TV in ME, MT, GA, TX, AK and NC. Retweet & chip in to our Senate TV fund here: https://t.co/3wuYnEeULG" / Twitter

Looking at the linked-to donation page, I found AK, AL, AZ, CO, GA, IA, KS, ME, MI, MT, NC, SC, TX

A big collection of vulnerable or potentially vulnerable Senate seats for both parties, all Republican except for AL and MI.

This seems like a good place for this:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "“On the third anniversary of Hurricane Maria's landfall on Puerto Rico ..." / Twitter

On the third anniversary of Hurricane Maria's landfall on Puerto Rico, we remember the nearly 3,000 Puerto Ricans that died in the aftermath, my grandfather among them, whose deaths the U.S. denied.

Puerto Rico deserves an investment in its infrastructure, in its future and in the fight against climate change so that this injustice is never repeated. We can begin by cancelling Puerto Rico’s debt, much of which is suspected to be illegal.

We must also abolish PROMESA, whose extreme austerity measures have closed public schools and defunded other critical public services. We must lift the Jones Act, which has exploited Puerto Rican consumers and strangled the economy.

We must pass a Marshall Plan for Puerto Rico, as Senators Sanders and Warren have called for, and allow the island to enact its own Green New Deal with direct federal funding. We must pass the Puerto Rico Self-Determination Act and end the island's colonial status.

We can't simply repair the damage caused by Maria. Rebuilding things as they were only sets us up for a repeat. Maria exposed how imperialism has completely ravaged Puerto Rico’s economy & crippled its ability to respond to climate change. We must rebuild stronger.
