Finished Foreign Agents by @cjcmichel.bsky.social yesterday. It’s timely and prescient. Understanding how oligarchy permeates … everything just might help folks spend less time reeling from the Musk/Trump show, more time seeing ways to push back. www.thriftbooks.com/w/foreign-ag...

Welcome @fritznel.bsky.social! More @thehaitiantimes.bsky.social crew!

Thank you @nymag.com! Too many headlines are regurgitating his talking points instead of looking at the actual laws he’s attacking. EEOC is next.

Soooo many metaphors here🤦🏾‍♀️

A new era I’m looking forward to @vaniaandre.bsky.social & @thehaitiantimes.bsky.social team👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎊🎉

Yep— Survey says people still believe that lie about Springfield #haitians, even after Vance admitted to making it up. Literally, 34% do, this Northeastern U / @thehaitiantimes.bsky.social survey found. This is how demagoguery works. See more: haitiantimes.com/2024/10/24/h...

The Tulsa Race Massacre was not committed by an uncontrolled mob but was the result of “a coordinated, military-style attack” by white citizens, the Justice Department said in a report. It was the first time the U.S. government has given an official account of the 1921 massacre of Black residents.

Finally reading Caste by @isabelwilkerson.bsky.social after the maga ‘civil war’ erupted. It’s so on point re Indian and American parallels, I stopped highlighting, underlining, and starring passages by page 25 so the entire book won’t be just 1 big mess of purple ink!!! ~360 pages to go…🤭💕🎊

Since the right is apparently doing this again, @mehdirhasan.bsky.social asked me to write this for @zeteo.com FACT CHECK: Yes, Trump Praised the Nazis in Charlottesville zeteo.com/p/fact-check...

“Hold steady” indeed, my fellow immigrants. Panicking early and often will only make the next four years feel like 40.

In 1893, a U.S.-backed coup overthrew the Islands’ sovereign government, Adrienne LaFrance writes. Now some Hawaiians want their nation back:

Beware of bad advice about Trump’s deportation pledges… here is what some experts told @thehaitiantimes.bsky.social. In a nutshell advocates and legal experts say: It’s too early to give legal advice, remember that TPS or CHNV are legal status, and stay calm and prepare your documents.

Loved, loved, loved this treasure trove. It helped me connect early on as a Black immigrant kid to African American history & culture. Didn’t even feel like a textbook, and works like Nikki Giovanni’s were like a shot of affirmation every time I opened the book. She was a treasure.

A poet through and true.
