"I don't get into social media. I think I've probably been fired 212 times, and we've traded Fox 72 times ... People have their opinions. I don't care ... De'Aaron Fox will have the basketball in his hands at the end of the game tomorrow."

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PARLIAMENT OF JAMAICA, TO THE SENATE, TO THE PRIME MINISTER, TO EVERY COUNCILLOR, EVERY MP, AND EVERY PERSON WHO HAS EVER DARED TO SPEAK IN THE NAME OF THE JAMAICAN PEOPLE
Kingston, Jamaica. May 2026.
To those entrusted with the mandate of this nation,
I want to begin by telling you something you may not expect to hear from someone my age. I love Jamaica. Not in the way people love a flag or a song or a t-shirt they wear on independence day. I love this country the way you love something you are genuinely afraid of losing. The way you love something that has already given you so much and is now, right before your eyes, being quietly taken apart by the very people who were supposed to protect it.
I am Janiel McEwan. I am not a politician. I hold no office, carry no party card, and have no personal score to settle with anyone named in this letter. I am a young Jamaican who watches, who reads, who listens, and who has decided that silence at this particular moment in our history would be its own kind of betrayal. Because the things that are happening in this country's political life right now are not small. They are not routine. They are the kinds of things that, if left unaddressed, become permanent. They become who we are. And I refuse to accept that this is who we are.
So I am writing this letter. I am asking you to read it. Not to respond to it, not to spin it, not to use it as ammunition against the other side. Simply to sit with it. To let it reach whatever part of you existed before the party, before the platform, before the ambition. The part that remembers why you said you wanted to serve Jamaica in the first place.
That part of you is who I am writing to.
We Did Not Bleed For This
August 6, 1962. I need you to go back there with me for a moment. Not as a political exercise. Not as a talking point. Go back there as a human being and feel the weight of what that day meant. Men and women who had known nothing but the boot of colonial authority, who had organised without resources, argued without platforms, sacrificed without guarantee of victory, they gave us something that most of the world has never been given. They gave us the right to govern ourselves. To sit in our own Parliament, to speak in our own name, to shape our own future with our own hands.
Norman Washington Manley did not argue the case for self-governance with the precision of his legal mind so that Gordon House could become a room where grown men make jokes about a woman's body. Alexander Bustamante did not stare down power with nothing but his voice and his nerve, organising the workers of this island into something that could not be ignored, so that the chamber he helped build could, sixty-four years later, descend into shouting matches that a child watching at home would be embarrassed by. They gave us something sacred. The question I am putting to every single person who holds political office in Jamaica today is a simple one. What have you done with it?
Because what I am watching is not stewardship. It is not service. What I am watching, with grief I cannot fully put into words, is the slow and almost comfortable unravelling of the standard that was supposed to separate a free, self-governing people from the chaos that those who doubted us predicted. And the most frightening thing about that unravelling is how normal it has begun to feel.

Crazy since Nekeisha came in the politics she had been described as many things with no defense can't take yall serious until balance and fairness is applied across the board.
@nnboogie You know it's crazy no one had a problem when the former MP was posting with her rich friends chilling. Secondly, how many Portlanders you hear complaining?
Interesting perspectives being shared. Do I have a problem knowing the context? I don't think so. Do I think Mrs Holiness does too much? Yes. Could Ms Burchell have maybe likened her to something else? Yes.
South St. James Member of Parliament Nekeisha Burchell says House Speaker Juliet Holness has been exhibiting control tendencies similar to women who are able to control their husbands.
