Joaquin Phoenix Photo: Whudat


Yes, under the Puerto Rico Democracy Act, actor Joaquin Phoenix would have the option of voting in a proposed referendum on the island’s political status. Not just ANY Puerto Rican can participate.
The actor-turned-bearded recluse now sputtering rhymes (as the publicity stunt we know it is) was born on the Enchanted Island. And [...]]]></description>

Speaking of…decades ago, some wise women took on machismo in the Young Lords Party (YLP). This month, July, marks the 40th anniversary of the YLP&#8217;s establishment [...]]]></description>
