puerto rico is a united states territory and its safety is the responsibility of the united states.\u00a0 its people, and those of the also-devastated dominica and barbuda, are our fellow humans. we cannot and must not disregard their suffering. we cannot let them become victims of our president\u2019s agenda of causing harm to the vulnerable.<\/p>\n
