Hundreds of Cuban and international medical students led a rally Wednesday in Havana in solidarity with Palestine and their Palestinian classmates. 🇨🇺🇵🇸
Belly of the Beast spoke with some of the participants about why they condemn Israel's bombing campaign of Gaza.
VICTORY: Today, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Alabama’s attempt to defy its orders to draw a fair congressional map.
The state must follow through in drawing a second district where Black voters have an opportunity to elect a candidate of their choice by the 2024 Elections.
@JoshuaStover169@nycsky37@nhannahjones@Capt_Smirk You’re misguided. Jim Crow is alive and well in our highest institutions. If you want a medical example: Black, wealthy, highly educated women are 3-4+ times more likely to die in childbirth than poor uneducated white women in America. There is no biological rationale.
@JoshuaStover169@JBurstrem@nhannahjones@Capt_Smirk Race is a social, not biological, construct. The perceived race of an individual is used to reinforce white supremacy and colonialism. Proximity to whiteness, assimilation, being non-threatening to whiteness is rewarded under white supremacy.
This is my dear friend, Nakita.
Nakita and I were medical school classmates and both interns in New York City. Nakita tragically took her own life on May 26.
She is such a beautiful soul. She was so fun to be around. She was intelligent, charismatic, and confident. (1/x)
