🚨 URGENT ACTION ALERT: SUPPORT OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY 🚨

We have received information from individuals still detained and in communication with family members regarding ongoing transfers from the detention facility known as "Alligator Alcatraz" in the Florida Everglades.

According to reports, people transferred to the Federal Detention Center in downtown Miami generally do not have serious criminal cases. Many are lawful permanent residents, asylum seekers, or individuals with pending immigration court proceedings. Over the past two days, numerous detainees have reportedly been transferred there.

Last night, another bus carrying nearly a full load of detainees left the facility. While the destination has not been confirmed, there are concerns that individuals may be transferred to detention centers in other states, including Louisiana or Arizona.

Information received indicates that many of those transferred out of state have been detained for a relatively short time and have only recently arrived in the United States.

An estimated 300 people remain detained at Alligator Alcatraz, housed in the two remaining operating units. Individuals already transferred to Miami are beginning to appear in the ICE Locator system with the Federal Detention Center in Miami listed as their location.

Now is the time to act!

📢 Repost and share this information.
📞 Call elected officials and demand transparency, due process, and humane treatment. 📧 Email the detention center, ICE officials, your local commissioners, state legislators, members of Congress, mayors, and Governor DeSantis.

👥 Show up, speak out, and stand in solidarity with detained immigrants and their families.
No one should disappear into a detention system without accountability, access to legal counsel, and contact with loved ones.

🇵🇷 Nationalist Cadet Training: The Puerto Rican Nationalist Revolt of 1950.

“El Grito de Jayuya — La Insurrección Nacionalista”

“Nationalism is the country organized for the rescue of its sovereignty.”
— Don Pedro Albizu Campos

Overview:
The Puerto Rican Nationalist Revolt of 1950 was a coordinated armed uprising led by the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party to end U.S. colonial rule and proclaim Puerto Rico’s independence. Though suppressed militarily, it remains one of the most significant expressions of Puerto Rican resistance and dignity.

Leadership & Inspiration:
Don Pedro Albizu Campos, imprisoned at the time, was the spiritual and strategic leader of the movement.
His teachings on discipline, sacrifice, and national honor guided both the Cadets of the Republic and the Hijas de la Libertad.
Albizu’s incarceration became a symbol of endurance — proof that the struggle for liberation could not be imprisoned.

Key Events:
>October 30, 1950: Uprisings erupt across the island — in Jayuya, Utuado, Peñuelas, Ponce, Arecibo, and San Juan.
>Jayuya: Led by Blanca Canales, nationalists seize the town, raise the Puerto Rican flag, and declare the Republic of Puerto Rico. U.S. planes bomb the town in retaliation.
>Utuado: Nationalists capture a police station; many are executed after capture.
>San Juan: An attack on La Fortaleza targets Governor Luis Muñoz Marín.
>November 1, 1950: In Washington, D.C., Nationalists Griselio Torresola and Oscar Collazo attempt to execute President Truman at Blair House — an act meant to draw global attention to Puerto Rico’s colonial condition.

Aftermath:
*Hundreds of Nationalists were imprisoned or killed; Albizu Campos was returned to prison and later tortured.
*The U.S. responded by creating the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (Estado Libre Asociado) in 1952 — a colonial reform, not independence.
*The revolt became a symbol of Puerto Rican courage, sacrifice, and uncompromising desire for freedom.

Legacy for the Cadets:
The 1950 Revolt represents the highest form of patriotic discipline: courage guided by conscience.
It united island and diaspora Nationalists in one cause — proving that Puerto Rican sovereignty transcends borders.
The memory of Jayuya, Utuado, and Blair House calls today’s youth to defend their nation with the weapons of knowledge, unity, and moral conviction.

Top 3 Takeaways for Cadets:

1) Albizu’s Leadership: Even from prison, Don Pedro’s vision guided an entire generation toward liberation.
2) Unified Struggle: From Jayuya to Washington, the fight for freedom was both local and global.
3) Duty of Knowledge: Today’s Cadets defend Puerto Rico not with rifles, but with discipline, education, and truth.

Historical Reference Points:
*Historical Figure: Don Pedro Albizu Campos — imprisoned leader and moral force of the movement.
*Historic Time Period: October–November 1950 — the height of the Nationalist Revolt.
*Important Events: El Grito de Jayuya and the Blair House Sacrifices — twin acts of resistance under one cause.

“The youth has the duty to defend the Fatherland with the weapons of Knowledge.”
— Don Pedro Albizu Campos

Here endeth the Lesson.

La Insurrección Nacionalista de 1950 y el Ataque a Blair House
(“La Insurrección Nacionalista de 1950” / “El Grito de Jayuya”).

La Insurrección Nacionalista de 1950 fue una sublevación armada coordinada contra el dominio colonial de los Estados Unidos en Puerto Rico - el intento más significativo de independencia puertorriqueña en el siglo XX. Aunque fue reprimida en pocos días, la insurrección, junto con el ataque a Blair House en Washington, D.C., reveló al mundo la intensidad de la lucha de Puerto Rico por su soberanía y la perdurable influencia de Don Pedro Albizu Campos, el encarcelado líder del Partido Nacionalista de Puerto Rico.

Antecedentes:
Después de la invasión estadounidense de Puerto Rico en 1898, la isla permaneció bajo control de los Estados Unidos. A los puertorriqueños se les otorgó la ciudadanía estadounidense en 1917, una medida que Albizu Campos condenó como una imposición colonial.

Bajo su liderazgo, el Partido Nacionalista de Puerto Rico se convirtió en la vanguardia del movimiento independentista, promoviendo el honor, el sacrificio y la disciplina como camino hacia la liberación nacional.

En 1948, el gobierno colonial aprobó la Ley de la Mordaza (Gag Law), que criminalizaba exhibir la bandera puertorriqueña, cantar himnos nacionalistas o abogar por la independencia - intensificando las tensiones en toda la isla.

Para 1950, Albizu Campos estaba encarcelado por actividades anticoloniales anteriores, pero continuaba inspirando al movimiento a través de sus escritos, discursos y ejemplo personal. Su encarcelamiento era visto por sus seguidores como un acto de martirio.

La Insurrección en la Isla
Fecha: 30 de octubre de 1950
Objetivo: Proclamar la independencia de Puerto Rico y desafiar la dominación estadounidense.
Principales levantamientos: Jayuya, Utuado, Peñuelas, Ponce, Mayagüez, Arecibo y San Juan.

Hechos destacados:
Levantamiento de Jayuya - Dirigido por Blanca Canales, los nacionalistas tomaron el control del pueblo, izaron la bandera puertorriqueña (entonces ilegal) y proclamaron la República de Puerto Rico. El ejército estadounidense respondió bombardeando Jayuya, uno de los pocos bombardeos aéreos realizados en suelo estadounidense en la historia.
Masacre de Utuado - Los nacionalistas tomaron la estación de policía del pueblo, pero pronto fueron capturados y ejecutados por la Guardia Nacional de Puerto Rico.

Asalto en San Juan - Nacionalistas intentaron atacar La Fortaleza, la mansión del gobernador, con la intención de capturar a Luis Muñoz Marín, a quien consideraban colaborador del sistema colonial.
En menos de 48 horas, los levantamientos fueron brutalmente aplastados por fuerzas militares y policiales de Estados Unidos. Cientos fueron arrestados y encarcelados.

El Ataque a Blair House (Washington, D.C.):
Fecha: 1 de noviembre de 1950 - solo dos días después de los levantamientos en la isla.
Participantes: Griselio Torresola y Oscar Collazo, ambos miembros del Partido Nacionalista de Puerto Rico y fieles seguidores de Albizu Campos.
Objetivo: Ajusticiar al presidente Harry S. Truman y atraer la atención internacional hacia la ocupación estadounidense de Puerto Rico.

Torresola y Collazo lanzaron su ataque contra Blair House, donde Truman residía mientras se renovaba la Casa Blanca. Torresola disparó fatalmente al Oficial Leslie Coffelt antes de ser abatido; Collazo resultó herido y fue capturado con vida. Truman no sufrió daños.
El incidente atrajo la atención mundial hacia la condición colonial de Puerto Rico y la represión de los líderes nacionalistas.

Consecuencias:
La insurrección fue sofocada, pero sacudió los cimientos de la política colonial estadounidense.

Don Pedro Albizu Campos fue devuelto a prisión, acusado de ser el autor intelectual de la insurrección a pesar de su encarcelamiento. Pasó la mayor parte de su vida restante preso, donde fue sometido a torturas médicas y radiación.

En 1952, Estados Unidos estableció el llamado Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico, un arreglo político destinado a desviar la crítica internacional al colonialismo sin otorgar verdadera soberanía.

Los Cadetes de la República y las Hijas de la Libertad participaron profundamente en la organización y logística de la insurrección, continuando la visión de Albizu de un patriotismo disciplinado y dirigido por la juventud.

Legado:
Los sucesos de 1950, desde Jayuya hasta Washington, marcaron el punto más alto de la lucha armada por la independencia de Puerto Rico. Permanecen como un símbolo definitorio de sacrificio, dignidad nacional y resistencia contra la opresión colonial.

Don Pedro Albizu Campos, aunque tras las rejas, fue el líder moral e ideológico de la insurrección - sus palabras y su ejemplo transformaron el encarcelamiento en un púlpito de liberación.

Hasta el día de hoy, la Insurrección de 1950 se mantiene como un testimonio del valor puertorriqueño y del sueño eterno de libertad.

Tres puntos esenciales para los futuros Cadetes Nacionalistas:
La insurrección de 1950 encarnó el valor, la disciplina y la visión del movimiento nacionalista liderado por Don Pedro Albizu Campos.
Aun desde la prisión, las enseñanzas de Albizu inspiraron la acción coordinada y el sacrificio a través de toda la isla y la diáspora.
Los levantamientos de Jayuya, Utuado y el lis sacrificios en Blair House representan una unidad de propósito: la libertad de Puerto Rico como causa nacional y global.

Referencias históricas:
Figura histórica: Don Pedro Albizu Campos - líder encarcelado y arquitecto ideológico de la insurrección nacionalista.
Período histórico: Octubre–Noviembre de 1950 - el punto culminante de los levantamientos independentistas.
Eventos importantes: El Grito de Jayuya y el Ataque a Blair House - frentes gemelos de una misma lucha por la liberación nacional..

Aqui se termina La Lección.

CORRECCIÓN / ACLARACIÓN HISTÓRICA.

Anteriormente compartí una publicación que indicaba que el Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. no visitó Puerto Rico. Esa información era incorrecta, y es importante aclararlo. El Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. SÍ visitó Puerto Rico, sobre todo en febrero de 1962, con visitas adicionales documentadas en 1960 y 1965. En febrero de 1962, el Dr. King visitó la isla por invitación de la Universidad Interamericana de Puerto Rico y la Confraternidad de Reconciliación.

Habló en San Germán y en la Universidad de Puerto Rico (Río Piedras), abordando la no violencia, la segregación, el colonialismo y la dignidad humana. Periódicos en español de la época, incluido el recorte de 1962 que comparto aquí, confirman su presencia.

En 1965, el Dr. King regresó con motivo de la Convención Mundial de Iglesias de Cristo, durante el período en que profundizaba públicamente su crítica al militarismo y la guerra de Vietnam.

Esto es importante. Puerto Rico no quedó al margen del Movimiento por los Derechos Civiles ni de las luchas por la justicia global. Las visitas del Dr. King confirman que la isla formó parte de una conversación internacional sobre racismo, colonialismo, imperio y liberación, y no fue un simple espectador.

CORRECTION / HISTORICAL CLARIFICATION

I previously shared a post stating that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did not visit Puerto Rico.
That information was incorrect — and it’s important to set the record straight.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. DID visit Puerto Rico, most notably in February 1962, with additional documented engagements connected to 1960 and 1965.

In February 1962, Dr. King visited the island at the invitation of the Inter-American University of Puerto Rico and the Fellowship of Reconciliation. He spoke in San Germán and at the University of Puerto Rico (Río Piedras), addressing nonviolence, segregation, colonialism, and human dignity. Spanish-language newspapers from the time — including the 1962 clipping shared here — confirm his presence.
In 1965, Dr. King returned in connection with the World Convention of Churches of Christ, during the period when he was publicly deepening his critique of militarism and the Vietnam War.
This matters.

Puerto Rico was not outside the Civil Rights Movement or global justice struggles. Dr. King’s visits affirm that the island was part of an international conversation about racism, colonialism, empire, and liberation — not merely a spectator.
I take responsibility for sharing incorrect information earlier.
Historical accuracy matters — especially when Puerto Rico’s role is so often erased.
Thank you to those who pushed for the truth and shared primary sources.
We correct, we learn, and we move forward grounded in fact.

I’m a Puertorriqueño Nationalist, raised in New York City under racial profiling, Broken Windows policing, stop-and-frisk, mass incarceration, and the explosion of militarized police. I witnessed my mom's arrest at 10 years old, my first arrest at 14, five more arrests but many more police abuse not on record, incarcerated at 20 snd didn't come "home" until my 35th birthday. I KNOW White Supremacists Oppression!!

What many are calling “new” has always been here.
This image traces a continuous line of violence in the United States:
>Indigenous genocide.
>Chattel slavery.
>The Civil War and its betrayal.
>The K*K and Texas Rangers.
>Lynchings
>Modern policing.
>ICE.
Different uniforms. Same mission.

From slave patrols to police departments.
From lynch mobs to masked agents.
From colonial control to immigration enforcement.
ICE did not appear out of nowhere. It is the latest iteration of a long system built to control, cage, remove, and disappear Black, Indigenous, and Brown people - especially those deemed “undesirable” by the state.

As a Boricua, from a people colonized, surveilled, displaced, and criminalized, incarcerated, murdered, both on the island and in the diaspora, I recognize this pattern because I’ve lived it. Our communities have been over-policed, under-protected, and targeted for generations.
An upside-down flag isn’t disrespect.
It’s a distress signal.
In the words of Childish Gambino: This is Amerikkka.
