🧵 The story of why Puerto Rico has its own Olympic team is as complex and tangled as much of our history. It all began in 1948 when Puerto Rico was officially recognized as having its own Olympic committee, allowing eight Puerto Rican men to compete in the London Games.
The press conference follows a letter sent to VP Harris by PR elected and community leaders last week urging the removal of “polarizing language” from the Dem platform, abolishing the FOMB, assuring a just transition to SNAP, among other things.

Just as we must honor the humanity of hostages, so too must we center the humanity of the 40,000 Palestinians killed under Israeli bombardment.
To deny that story is to participate in the dehumanization of Palestinians. The
@DNC

She is NOT the “Border Czar.” There’s no such position. The Vice President was tasked with identifying root causes in Central American countries.
