What's the word on the street about the referendum regarding statehood for Puerto Rico? Does anybody who's reading this thread know?
From what I have gathered in conversation with my family on the island the last poll published two days ago puts the result at around 50% pro statehood.
So, same as last time, then.
Do you think Congress will let it go through this time if the vote is yes?
I don’t know. Maybe if DC is made a state as well, judging by past precedent.
“We can never undo what we have done. We can never go back in time. We write history with our decisions and our actions. But we also write history with our responses to those actions. We can leave the pain and the damage in our wake, unattended, or we can do the work of acknowledging and fixing, to whatever extent possible, the harm that we have caused.”
