¡Viva Puerto Rico!

On July 24, after weeks of protests by outraged citizens,

Gov. Ricardo Rosselló of Puerto Rico announced he’d step down Aug. 2, due to the leak of misogynistic and homophobic texts as well as charges of corruption. Lin-Manuel Miranda was among the stars to protest the Rosselló administration, telling Us that the peaceful demonstrations — now thought to be the biggest in the U.S. territory’s history — were “revolutionary and inspiring.” Adds the Hamilton scribe, “I think the island of Puerto Rico has done an amazing job of making [itself] heard.”
