Beshear: "These work requirements really aren't about getting people back to work. They are about increasing the paperwork on everybody ... when somebody misses that one box, they are kicked off for six months or more."

The Oloffson, burned. A lot of foreign visitors and lovers of Haiti had been expecting this but hoping—foolishly against hope—not. It was their, it was my, portal, a romantic and misleading portal, into what we imagined was Haiti. Buried in palms, it rose, a gingerbread,

📢 I just published a piece in Foreign Policy: “Rwanda and Congo’s Unstable Peace.” I argue that the recent U.S.-brokered peace deal risks reinforcing Rwanda’s destabilizing role in Congo, especially through M23 and illicit mineral exploitation. This is a call for accountability

I must have been asleep. This #NYTimes profile of Stephen Miller says that "the left took over California." How could I have missed it? Dan Froomkin (PressWatchers.org) Find Us @FAIR at Mastodon.World

Today, a war criminal under indictment from the ICC will be welcomed to the White House. Trump, like Biden before him, has aided and abetted the extremist Netanyahu government as it has systematically killed and starved civilians in Gaza. It is a shameful day in America.

#Haiti In 1902, in Venice, the 900-year old St. Mark's Campanile collapsed. It was rebuilt "where it was and how it was" within 10 years. Surely the world community can, in time, pay to rebuild the profoundly historic Hotel Oloffson? RAMhaiti Amy Wilentz miamiherald.com/news/nation-wo…

Hillel Fuld Died for no reason in a hopeless war aimed at maintaining the Netanyahu coalition, where extremist settlers hold key positions and want the war to continue, seeking to resettle Gaza. #Gaza #Netanyahu #settlers

An emotional @Ramhaiti says he doesn’t know who burned Oloffson & why; but the first thing he wants is “to stand in the yard.” He envisions starting back w/ building a cultural center so Haitians understand what they need. @Magik9 miamiherald.com/news/nation-wo…

I don’t want to cry about a building when so many Haitians are being killed & raped.. unless the building brings attention to the killings & rapes

Why does the P.C. Richard and Son store on W. 23rd Street in Manhattan refuse to even answer the phone to fix their botched delivery to us?

With the updated RCV totals just released by the Board of Elections, our campaign has officially earned the most total votes in a primary in New York City history.

Jacqueline Charles RAMhaiti magik Shouldn’t the diplomatic world and the world-class cultured provide Mr. Morse with all the support possible? With world SOLIDARITY similar to the one shown to Notre Dame, shouldn’t Port-au-Prince be rebuilt along with Hôtel Oloffson?
