ethan hawke said something i haven’t stopped thinking about — we usually move past art like we have no need for it, until loss enters our life and suddenly nothing ordinary can hold what we’re feeling
🚨 I was almost taken hostage in Cuba...
I went to Cuba to document the humanitarian crisis and show life under 60+ years of communism and now amid the US blockade. Once I landed, they seized all my cameras except my iPhone and had intelligence agents following me all day until my security noticed their spies tailing us to the hotel where they waited all night for us to come down.
Under communism there is no free speech, and those who show the reality or speak up are imprisoned. Me going without a planned Cuban government guide nearly got me and my security taken hostage or imprisoned.
The situation in Cuba is much worse than anyone knows.
I'm seeing a trend of posts like this. Most physicians don't object to your self-diagnosis and treatment plan because of a need to be right. Posters seem to ignore the fact that the person prescribing their medication of choice assumes the liability of an incorrect diagnosis and any resultimg harm of a recommended treatment.
The best solution is to allow more meds to be available without prescription, not create a world where physicians bow down to their every whim amd demand of patients.
You're not honest with yourself if you really believe that the US cares about labour rights or human trafficking. You know that's not what this is about.
I’ve learnt so much from Cuban nurses, who to be quite frank, were OVERQUALIFIED for the positions they filled to provide for their families back home.
Searched his tweets and he has tweeted only twice about Jamaica.
Not to share condolences for the damage of Melissa or issue support. Not to congratulate us for anything or wish us happy independence.
Once, to threaten our PM and now.
the only difference bw you and the people being torn apart by the settler colonial death machine is sheer luck. there's nothing inherent to you that makes you more deserving of safety. it could just as easily have been you and that arbitrariness should haunt you, not comfort you.
Once again, millions of Nigerians need to be locked up in literal gulags and forced to mix concrete, dig trenches, and harvest potatoes under armed supervision until they learn that they are NOT Americans.
You're not American. You're not a deputy American. You're not even a Westerner. You are a sorry-ass Black man from Darkest Africa who hasn't experienced 5 straight days of uninterrupted electricity in your life ever.
Americans can afford to "hate" Communism because they have the world's biggest ever empire at their disposal to funnel the entire world's wealth into their country and Communism in the Global South literally stops that from happening.
"Capitalism" is when Chevron and Texaco and ExxonMobil get to extract Nigeria's oil and make most of the money of it while paying your country a pittance so that your kids attend classes under trees and there is no direct way to travel between Lagos and Abuja.
"Communism" is when your country nationalises its oil so that you keep all its your revenue and use it to build roads and schools. An African "actively opposing" Communism is a turkey on a farm "actively opposing" what will stop the farmer from turning it into stew.
You people should learn to understand your place in the world so that you stop trying so hard to be Americans from your apartment with Ilupeju that is filled with generator smoke.
Same type of dummies that worshipped Charlie Kirk.
