It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7
Found an imaginary problem, said only they could fix it, didn’t listen to experts, hired buddies who grifted millions, failed miserably, bragged how great it went.
The entire Trump presidency in a nutshell.
A pack of cops arresting a kid saying “I need to get to school so I can take my tests” for trying to cut through the parade route that has frozen lower Manhattan (but students don’t get a day off).

Caribbean nations such as Cuba, Haiti, and Guyana have historically served as places of refuge for Black Americans escaping racism and political persecution. Pan-Africanists in Guyana had even set up a village for Black Americans. There is also a lengthy history of Black people in the Caribbean protesting against the poor treatment of Black Americans. Artists such as Black Stalin and Mighty Gabby have expressed this in song. Eusi Kwayana was detained by the British colonial government for exposing America's racism against Black Americans.
Of course, this is history that isn't well-known in America because of the disconnect in the Diaspora. We don't know each other's histories like we should. If we did, we'd understand how interconnected our struggles have always been.
We are not going to get ICE off our streets or protect Home Rule by fearing this President.
Threatening DC because you do not like how our residents vote is an attack on democracy itself.
The people of DC elect the Mayor of DC. And they want someone who will stand up to Trump.
