Trump's fuel blockade of Cuba is not abstract, it is strangulation before our very own eyes. No oil has entered Cuba since December 3rd. The weight of this genocidal siege is now felt in every home, every hospital where patients wait to get dialysis, every darkened street. Cuba

The history of colonialism and imperialism is littered with colonisers and imperialists complaining that the natives are being horrible or cruel to them and so must be imprisoned, tortured, killed and/or exterminated.

On this day in 1979, the most remarkable social revolution in the modern history of the Anglophone Caribbean began. Today we remember the crisis and imperialist invasion that brought the Grenadian Revolution to an end, and its tremendous accomplishments.

Brazil’s President Lula: “We are a peaceful region — no nukes. Our drones are used for agriculture and science… NOT WAR.” “But if we don’t prepare for defense — WE’LL BE INVADED.” Countries everywhere are waking up after Trump and Israel’s launched an illegal war on Iran.

Bermuda was one of the few uninhabited islands that was colonized. It takes it's name from a Spanish captain Juan de Bermudez. Etymologically it has German roots, basically meaning "courage of the bear" as in "bear"+"mode". There are no bears in Bermuda.

The only constant is change. Things change for the better when we take action to do so. Things change for the worse when we don't or when we lose the battle. It's exhausting, but absolutely necessary to keep up the fight.
