@jesserbnwtz Extremely helpful

If you've found this at all useful, I ask that you please let me know. I'm feeling defeated. So a pick me up would be great.

(1/?) Tomorrow, Bowser and Biden will evict around 50 of our neighbors from McPherson Square. This is my attempt to clear up some myths about what is actually happening.

@rachelnpr good luck on this next leg. You have been a true delight to have in our home every morning and we will miss you

This is momentous. Hopefully this means soon kids can start to go to school, hospitals can function at capacity, food can circulate.

Big scoop from @EtantDupain and @CNN: Critical Haiti gas terminal freed after weeks of talks with G9 gang leader. cnn.com/2022/11/04/ame…

NEW on @HaitiAidWatch: More Than 90 Organizations Reject Calls for Military Intervention in Haiti. cepr.net/more-than-90-o…

Infuriating. US pushing policies that pull the rug out from underneath the poor- to do what w the money? Def not any other safety nets. And even clearer signs that the US has its hands on the scale in Haitian politics

@lorgia_pena This has been really difficult- particularly for Haitian Creole. approached individual donors to translate an edited volume but nothing stuck. there’s got to be some org interested in translating for pub in global south but haven’t found em yet. Would love to know of any leads

The @StateDept is already in discussions to determine the composition and mandate of a multinational force to be sent to Haiti. Latest on @HaitiAidWatch looks at the calls for intervention and asks the question, security for whom? cepr.net/de-facto-haiti…

@LabSpecEth Ditto. Happy to review

It is so tough finding reviewers these days that I'm putting in personal messages begging and begging.

@anthrogirrrl @amymaxmen @jonshaffer @PesteMagazine @hrw @_Cesar_Munoz This is awful and so terribly sad. The state of prisons in Haiti has been a human rights issue for a long time- and with the reappearance of cholera the loss will be terrible if it goes unaddressed

@amymaxmen @jonshaffer @PesteMagazine @FreeScotty - seeing @hrw @_Cesar_Munoz on this as well. Awful.

Horrific interviews out of an escalating cholera outbreak in a Haitian prison with people deported from the US. @jonshaffer @PesteMagazine is asking reporters to reach out, trying to draw attention to the hellish situation. pestemag.com/featured-posts… eg

NouPapDòmi veut lancer un appel à toutes les forces vives de la nation à l’union contre la souillure, la honte et l’ignominie dans lesquelles le gouvernement de facto dirigé par Ariel Henry veut engager le pays en demandant l’intervention de forces étrangères sur le sol d’Haiti.

The Montana BSA rejects the de facto PM’s request for foreign troops. They called it an act of “treason” and say they oppose all forms of foreign intervention.

Yesterday, the head of the @OAS_official asked Haiti’s de facto leader to request foreign military assistance. Hours later, @Jacquiecharles reported it had done just that. The blockade of the fuel terminal is providing a pretext for yet another foreign intervention in Haiti.

The members of Congress noted the "irony" of the US not inviting leaders of Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba to the Summit of the Americas, while still inviting de facto Haitian PM Ariel Henry, who, they write, "has no constitutional or popular mandate."

Citing "decades of US meddling in Haiti’s internal affairs," 4 Senators and 9 House members write to President Biden suggesting steps the US should take to change course and support a Haitian-led path forward. leahy.senate.gov/download/22106…

Just as the Ministry of Health in #Haiti has confirmed a positive case of #cholera & suspected cases in Cite Soleil, the Caribbean Bottling Company reported that as of today they have run out of diesel & can no longer produce or distribute clean drinking water in Haiti

@melindayiti Oh god

@SusanShepler Oh this is amazing

OMG OMG OMG. It's happening!!!

@KJessicaHsu That is horrific

Plas Hugo Chavez by the PAP Airport @ 6 am is a heartbreaking scene only visible before the sun fully rises. Hundreds of bodies laying side by side covered by white sheets on the concrete. People displaced from Cite Soleil 3 mths ago due to ongoing gang wars. & Day 9 #peyilok.

@luvwstlyf @AmericanUAlum So touching- thank you!!!

Professor Scott Freeman @FreeScotty for the most insightful, incredibly well thought out lessons and honest critique of international development. It’s all highly applicable and resonates more each day. @AmericanUAlum
