This makes me think of this poem, written by Palestinian poet Samih Al Qasim. They truly are the enemy of the sun.

Nina Simone wrote “Revolution part 1 & 2”in direct response to the Beatles song “Revolution” written by Lennon (which was significantly more of a commercial success). She regarded his pacifism and naive, oversimplified view of political revolution as out of touch and privileged, so she responded bar for bar to his message of revolution with her own

‘We never talked about men or clothes. It was always Marx, Lenin, and revolution — real girls’ talk.’ Nina Simone was born on this day in 1933. tribunemag.co.uk/2023/04/the-ra…

𝘞𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘙𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘹 has arrived. A collection of original essays offering new perspectives on one of the counterculture’s most influential publications. Congratulations to @GrayAreaorg on this beautiful new volume, we couldn’t be more excited to share it! This publication follows the triumphant 02023 launch of the Whole Earth Index (na2.hubs.ly/H03LTzb0), which made the complete Whole Earth Catalog accessible online for the first time. 𝘞𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘙𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘹 extends that legacy, excavating the Catalog’s deeper histories, exploring its relevance now, and imagining the futures it still invites us to build. So honored to support this work alongside @internetarchive and see essential cultural tools kept alive.

The pandemic taught one lesson above all: the Global North will let you die before it shares a patent and loses a sliver of profit. Cuba broke the order — made its own vaccines, shared its tech. That is why they're being strangled. For showing that a different world is possible.

📽️ JUST RELEASED: How did Cuba — cut off from the world by a 60 year embargo — vaccinate 95% of its population with its own vaccines for Covid-19? It's a remarkable story. And we tell it here with @VarshaGandikota from 🇨🇺Havana.

He says @ICEgov beat him with the same metal rod they used to smash his friend's car windows

The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.

When Bad Bunny mentioned all the nations in the Americas, I thought of this essay by Cuban Revolutionary José Martí, titled "Nuestra América" (Our America). It was published in Mexico City in 1891. Three years before the war that liberated Cuba.
