Biden’s Expedited Major Disaster Declaration for Puerto Rico doesn’t include most of the southwest of Puerto Rico, where Hurricane Fiona made landfall, but those include San Juan, Guaynabo and Bayamón, which were largely unaffected.
Today, I approved an Expedited Major Disaster Declaration for Puerto Rico in the wake of the devastation caused by Hurricane Fiona.
I will continue to ensure the full force of the Federal government is mobilized to support the people of Puerto Rico.

So the Supreme Court passed an 8-1 vote that excludes Puerto Ricans from getting federal disability benefits, once more showing that Puerto Ricans are second-class US citizens living in a US colony.
The Supreme Court rules 8-1 that the government does not violate the equal protection clause by excluding Puerto Rico residents from Supplemental Security Income, a safety-net program for people who are blind, disabled, or at least 65. Sonia Sotomayor is the lone dissent.

It's absolutely no surprise that the Caribbean is standing in solidarity with Palestine. The Caribbean is an area that has experienced centuries of colonialism that continues into the modern day.
