Shaming people who live in a swing states has the same affect as vote shaming— it doesn’t work. If y’all want ppl to vote, *at minimum* -ALL primaries should be open -ALL communities should have vote sites -ALL vote days natl holidays -Natl ranked choice Otherwise 👉🏾🤐

You cannot separate colonialism, racism, patriarchy, etc from capitalism—capitalism has equal impact on material *and social* relations. Ignoring the latter/pretending it exists outside of material relations, only means that in due time one will reveal themself as a reactionary.

Something else that you learn when studying the Caribbean, especially the role of academics in the Caribbean, is how anti-revolutionary the US academy is. In the US academia works too hard to misinform the public and assuage(?) them to the status quo.

You shouldn’t applaud the @nytimes “investigation,” which purports to be “Examining Tara Reade’s Sexual Assault Allegation Against Joe Biden.” The piece, serves as a cover to Biden, holding the words of his long time “personal friends” as staff over that of a survivor (1/7)

It has always been quite blatant. Just in case people were unsure: Biden is making it very clear that Haitians are not welcomed in the US; and that the US will continue to interrupt and interfere in Haiti to keep unpopular killers in power.

What I dislike the most about the myth of European + Scandinavian social democracies as “left development types” is that the populations are very miseducated about the lifestyles afforded to them by imperialism + exploitation — which produces large reactionary segments in them.

“Essential” when they wanted to keep the economy running as pandemic created mass uncertainty via exposure + risk of sickness & death / exposing others to those fates. “Low skill,” when they still want to keep the economy running, and have concluded aforementioned risks = fine.

This is arguably what happens when racists like Joe Biden get elected. People don’t want to confront the obvious— and are still ignoring it now. BUT: Biden, prior to images of his Border Patrol whipping Haitians in Texas, has always expressed his disdain for Haitians.
