Support thread for Mayor Cruz of San Juan

I know she may not be able to see it, but I want to send good vibes in support of her courageous and tireless work on behalf of her people. We are with you, Mayor. Don't let Trump or any one else silence you.

(I've also written my Senator and sent a donation to Red Cross. It's awful to feel so helpless especially when we KNOW the military and others can do more to help but we can't force the president to order them into action and cut bureaucracy.)

Thanks also to MSNBC for bringing the story.

She has worked without ceasing from the first, all these days and nights, completely committed to doing everything she can in the same world which has produced garbage like Puerto Rico's governor, and Donald Stump.

Her energy and purity of purpose burn so brightly.

Best wishes to this unequaled woman.

She has deeply moved all people of conscience in this world who have heard her voice, her message.

May she be protected from those people born without consciences forever.

I've never seen any other politian do what she did for her citizens.

It's tragedy that Puerto Ricans can't vote, because their lives probably wouldn't be in the hands of a madman right now if they could.

Not being snarky here....being dead serious....this woman is fantastic and has more leadership qualities and capabilities in her pinky than the orange phony occupying our White House.

I also believe based on how Trump and the United States government has treated Puerto Rico that there should and will be a future movement for independence from the United States. Where they can control their destiny and have relationships with other Nations and partners who will bring them real aid and assistance in times of crisis.

And this woman would be a great leader who the people of Puerto Rico could respect.

She's sleeping on a cot a shelter because her house was destroyed in the hurricane. Yet she has been working tirelessly to help others, at times wading through contaminated water with a bullhorn trying to find people. She's been repeatedly attacked by the potus because instead of lauding him, she publically begged for help. She is a hero.
