30,000 US citizens of Utuado, Puerto Rico have NO water. They are drinking contaminated water from the river. I am sitting next to them crying. - @KrapelsMarco

He is a totally solid and dedicated liberal.

Hopefully his voice, in a chorus with many others, can bring about awareness.

How do we stop this? How do we get rid of them? I’ve called. I’ve written. I’ll take to the streets. I would lead if I thought I had the expertise. But we must act. My hands are fully wrung.

I'm very sure Naomi Klein's Disaster Capitalism reads as a blueprint for what's about to befall Puerto Rico. If you're in touch w Mark Ruffalo, remind him to let the people there know! Their public institutions will be handed over to for-profit enterprises, starting with water.

I cry for them too, and for us.

That man deserves to die in prison. (The orange menace)

What is FEMA doing there if they can't even get this basic task accomplished?

Sad when the PR people have to put their faith in Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, as opposed to their own government.
