Tell me the difference between these videos of Black women in the US ARMY dancing and using their looks to advertise the benefits of being enliseted, women enlisted in the IOF using their looks and bodies to market their genocidal death cult on social media?

From left to right : Juan Bosch (in the left corner), Daniel Ortega, Maurice Bishop and Fidel Castro attending a May Day rally in Cuba, 1980. What a moment in time. 🇩🇴🇳🇮🇬🇩🇨🇺

Georgetown University launched a research hub tasked with investigating the deaths of minors in juvenile facilities nationwide in the last 150 years, an effort that will initially focus on the graves of Black boys who died in Maryland state custody. https://t.co/O6yNgoA7ua

A wise, intelligent PhD candidate in my program once advised me not to publish writing while in-program but I’ve been sitting on this article about Walter Rodney’s three-day forum at Howard U. & the subsequent protests at the Guyanese Embassy since about August

For those interested in the background to the war brewing in the southern Caribbean, I’m resharing my essay on “Oil War in the Americas” from February 2015. A reminder that the stage was set over more than two decades. https://t.co/fLPC8ShOjj

Depression is strange. It doesn’t always look like sadness. Sometimes it looks like forgetting how to be yourself. You wake up one day and realize the things that used to make you feel alive now feel like chores. The jokes don’t come as easily. The excitement is gone.

Black colleges are pausing research, losing scholarships, and rethinking how they define their mission as federal agencies cut Black-focused grants

More than $140 million in grants at HBCUs have been terminated due to Trump's policies targeting DEI

We remember Walter Rodney who was assassinated on this day in 1980.
Long live Walter Rodney.

Horrific--ICE asks immigration lawyer to chose which of her clients should be arrested and detained. Officer says "I'm not picky so I'm giving you the options cause I have to take one. If not I'll take all."

The email instructs international students to tell @Columbia admin if they are at risk of deportation. Mahmoud and Mohsen did that. They were both ignored and are now detained. Do not trust Columbia to protect you. If you are an international student, Columbia is not safe.

President Claire Shipman of Columbia University just sent out an email advertising an "International Student Relief Hardship Fund". When you click on the link for "Special Student Relief", you're taken to the ICE website to report people. Sent this after a student was detained.
