This episode isn’t soft. It isn’t curated. It’s real.
Because what's happening in Puerto Rico is nothing new, it's just wearing new clothes.
We talk about the Taíno people, the original caretakers of the land, and how their culture, language, and resistance still live in us.
We talk about the Young Lords, who flipped anger into action and demanded dignity for a community that the system threw away.
And we talk about Act 60, a so called “economic incentive” that’s displacing Boricuas from their own streets while billionaires pay zero in taxes and post about their island reset.
This episode is for those of us who live between pride and grief.
For the ones who are tired of seeing their culture marketed, their families pushed out, their identity reshaped by outsiders.
It’s not just about what’s being lost.
It’s about what we’re still holding on to.
🎙 Existential Static
Spoken from the bones. Not the brochure.
