Now referred to as a “manifesto”, @CARICOMorg has revised its ten-point “plan” for reparatory justice. @niambihcPhD, Chair @242Reparations, and Gaynel Curry https://t.co/oKnC7KVkuP, outline for #MorningBlendBusiness what’s changed and why, and where things stand in the fight.

Many of you don’t even care about dismantling the system that exploits us, you just want to be rich enough to survive the system and exploit others. Lack of class consciousness will be the death of us.

Today, I’m pleased to announce the launch of https://t.co/DLpVpnsuOv, the Government of Jamaica’s official platform to coordinate relief, mobilize support, and manage recovery efforts in the wake of Hurricane Melissa.

The site allows users to donate securely, submit pledges, report emergencies, and locate nearby shelters. It is designed to serve Jamaicans at home and abroad who wish to assist with national recovery efforts.

Please remember, if it doesn’t end with .gov.jm, it is not an official Government of Jamaica website.

As survivors of Hurricane Dorian 🇧🇸 we all know what damage a slow moving category 5 hurricane can do.

Praying for Jamaica 🇯🇲 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

No briefing. No evidence. No names.

Just people blown up in the Caribbean and called “drug dealers.” That’s not law enforcement. That’s extrajudicial killing.

The Constitution says only Congress can declare war. Until then, these strikes are as wrong as what China or Iran does.

#BARBADOS: Prime Minister Mia Mottley, has strongly condemned the build-up of United States military forces in the #Caribbean, as the Region now faces what she described as an “extremely dangerous and untenable situation” with “menacing vessels” threatening peace.

Imperialism doesn’t only kill us with weapons , it infiltrates our minds with the idea that we deserve to live only as the West wants us to.
They make us dream of becoming like them and when we try, they mock us .

The Hurricane Melissa Relief website is now operational.

Rebuilding Lives. Restoring Hope.

Hurricane Melissa is a powerful Category 5 storm posing a serious threat to the lives and livelihoods of Jamaicans. In its aftermath, recovery will take every helping hand. Together, let us stand ready to protect and help families recover, rebuild homes and restore livelihoods once the storm passes.

Thousands of Cubans rally in Havana in solidarity with Venezuela and to condemn Trump for escalating another U.S. war for oil & regime change. U.S. Naval forces have already killed over 27 people from Trinidad & Tobago, Colombia and Venezuela in lethal strikes in the Caribbean.
