FINALLY FREE

The long awaited day has arrived.

His sentence was commuted by President Obama in January 2017.

He was released home then under home arrest.

Home arrest ends today.

He’s a totally free man … to walk the soil of his beloved island, Puerto Rico, without any restrictions!

Fellow Boricua, we celebrate with you.

Outgoing U.S. President Barack Obama commuted Lopez’ sentence in January 2017. He was sent home then but under the condition that he remain under house arrest.

Expired today, May 17, according to a list of commutations announced by the White House.

Puerto Rico’s independence leader and longest held political prisoner in the U.S. from Latin America will be free.

The United States government announced Tuesday the release of Oscar Lopez Rivera, who has been imprisoned in the U.S. for 36 years for his struggle to free Puerto Rico from U.S. colonial rule.

Oscar López Rivera is now a former US held Puerto Rican political prisoner of war.

STRUGGLING WITH REALITY

“Be soft, don’t let the world make you hard.

Be gentle, don’t let the people make you difficult.

Be kind, don’t let the realities of life steal your sweetness and make you heartless.”

~Nurudeen Ushawu~

To tell you the truth, I’m really trying.

Yet, I’m finding it difficult to shed the feeling of dread.

Too much is at stake!

THERE IS NO GOING BACK

Many are aware of the struggle the LGBT community has gone through since immemorial time.

Let me start at the Stonewall Inn riots in 1969.

This is usually a cut-off point where the LGBT community of the time decided: no more.

We are standing up to abuse and discrimination.

Major goals have been attained since then.

Check list below.

The President-Elect has selected nominees for Cabinet positions.

No one of them has a favorable view of the of the LGBT community and they have expressed their feelings.

It’s not the time to stand down, to go back in the closet.

It’s a time to continue the fight, be vigilant and proud.

Never surrender!

STANDING TALL

A symbol of pride, struggle, accomplishments and history.

My heart surges with pride when I see it bellowing in the wind.

This flag represents a lot.

This flag exemplifies the diversity of people who make up this unbeatable community.

A whole community of people, bound together by common goals:

recognition and equality.

HortyRex©

The rainbow flag, LGBT pride flag, is a symbol of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) pride and LGBT social movements. The colors reflect the diversity of the LGBT community, and the flag is often used as a symbol of gay pride when it comes to LGBTQ+ rights marches.

It originated in Northern California, but is now used worldwide

Designed by San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker in 1978, the design has undergone several revisions to first remove then re-add colors due to widely available fabrics. As of 2008, the most common variant consists of six stripes, with the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet.

The flag is commonly flown horizontally, with the red stripe on top, as it would be in a natural rainbow.

We ALL are ONE!!

I'm originally from Puerto Rico. I was born in Santurce and raised in Rio Piedras. I currently live in Florida - since 1999. I have a doctorate degree in Medicine; completed in 1976. My Internal Medicine specialty was completed in 1979. Worked for Puerto Rico's health system until 1985. At this time, I'm happily retired after working for the federal government for almost 28yrs. I also worked for the government of Puerto Rico from 1979 through 1985 .... for a total of almost 40 years as a physician. I want to offer any knowledge that I have to anyone "out there" who is interested. My views are liberal in almost every sense. My knowledge is "eclectic" - a bit of everything. Music and reading are my passion. Blogging has also become a very interesting endeavor. Metaphysical topics attract me. I'm interested in news - reporting human issues like injustice, discrimination and abuse - the "wrongly" affected. My intention is to bring this knowledge to an understandable level and to help anyone in need. I'm open to questions and will answer them to the best of my ability. Currently working on an enterprise whose main mission will be to bring peoples of all walks of life together. To be one .... since we ALL are ONE!! The future looks bright and promising!!!
