The Disappearing Schools of Puerto Rico (Published 2019) Over the past three years, hundreds of schools have closed across Puerto Rico. Their ruins are among the most visible evidence of the island’s vicious circle of poor governance, neglect by Washington ...

Also this one I did on the effects on Puerto Rico’s school system for the Times Magazine www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Washington’s Corruption Has Created Another Humanitarian Crisis in Puerto Rico The island’s earthquakes are its latest man-made disaster.

If you didn’t catch the significance of the exploding transformers in Bad Bunny’s halftime show, I gotcha. Here’s one of a bunch of pieces I wrote from/on Puerto Rico about the crisisβ€”and Trump’s role in it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

There are a lot of people who are going to complain about being unfairly vilified by that halftime show and it's because they know in their hearts they're on Team Hate.

For those unaware about the significance of the light poles during the song El ApagΓ³n it’s because of the Puerto Rican power system and the constant black outs. There have been a lot of protests on the island over this.

β€œHey Pedro, do you want to be in the Bad Bunny halftime show?”

β€œYES”

β€œOk it’s just a background dan-β€œ

β€œWhere do I stand?”

I will eventually shut up about this but Bad Bunny’s use of the power lines is an outstanding example of how to communicate about climate and energy issues. Not about who is the smartest nerd in the room and spewing numbers but about people’s actual lives. Genius.

Farm workers. The fields on the field. The legacies of slavery and colonialismβ€”the sugar cane plantation, labor power, power crisisβ€”despite it all, the future reaches through the tv to the past to make our postcolonial present.

Puerto Rico hasn't had reliable power in a decade.

The grid sends occasional surges through the wires that fry appliances.

Electricity rates are among the highest in the entire U.S.

Heat waves are getting intense in the summer, and outages mean A/C is no guarantee for an aging population.

The end of DOE’s grid work in Puerto Rico The Trump administration has canceled all eight of the remaining awards devoted to distributed energy on the island.

Just a few weeks ago, the administration cancelled all remaining department of energy grid resilience projects in Puerto Rico. All of them. www.latitudemedia.com/news/the-end...

Bad Bunny is telling the world that the people in Puerto Rico are American citizens and deserve reliable and resilient electricity and infrastructure investment from the U.S. government.

Let me introduce Ornimegalonyx oteroi, the Cuban Giant Owl, which stood up to 1.1 m high (3.6 ft) and weighed between 9 and 30 kg (20-66 lb).

It went extinct about 6,000 years ago. During the Miocene, they likely hunted mammals: seal pups and large rodents.

The term martyr means β€œwitness.” The man was murdered for bearing witness, literally bearing it, not arms but a camera. Murdered for seeing.

A nurse was directing traffic to safety. A nurse was trying to help a woman who had fallen. A nurse who works with veterans, a nurse who deals with law enforcement regularly in his field was shot in the back several times.

You can't hide it behind this excuse or that supposition anymore.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
