WAR AGAINST ALL PUERTO RICANS
Revolution and Terror in America’s Colony
Historic Photo of the Day: American Progress
This painting is called American Progress.
It was created in Brooklyn by a painter named John Gast, and widely distributed as a symbol of America’s “Manifest Destiny” and “frontier spirit.”
The painting was created in 1872.
Twenty-six years later, the US invaded Puerto Rico.
WAR AGAINST ALL PUERTO RICANS 
It was not “theirs” until after the conclusion of the Spanish-American War.
Additionally, to this day, the presence of the US in Puerto Rico is invasive.
Finally, the notion of US “ownership” of Puerto Rico is morally and personally offensive.
I choose NOT to sanction it.
