When will liberals who love to say Puerto Rico is part of the U.S. grow up and use the word “colony” to aptly describe the relationship? Like what do they think territorial status is???

In over 5+ years of publishing, this is my first campaign for subscriptions. It has been a well-oiled machine that has worked without big pushes or too much paywalling. That is no longer the case, and while I know times are tough for everyone, this newsletter provides a lot for a low cost.

Asking folks to support my independent food and culture newsletter.

I'm doing an end-of-year push for my newsletter in order to bankroll a new publication I'll be launching in 2026. Annual membership is as low as $30 to provide access to a robust community, smart conversation, and culture work that can't be found elsewhere. www.aliciakennedy.news/upgrade

What happened? I’ve been on a plane lol

A former worker from the Industrial Hana factory holds a sign that reads "Thank you for the solidarity! We are proud to finally receive the pay we deserve" /"Gracias por su solidaridad! Estamos orgullosos que finalmentee recibimos el pago que merecemos!" The sign is in English and Spanish as the factory was in Guatemala selling to Lucky Brand among others

Good news! Lucky Brand to pay $500,000 to garment workers.
This case has immediate impact ($$$ in people's hands) & sets a precedent: No matter the layers of opaque ownership, brands are ultimately responsible for the consequences of their purchasing practices.
