Over 20,000 West Indians, 15,600 with the British West Indies Regiment, volunteered to serve during the First World War; two thirds from #Jamaica. Our soldiers' stories are coming to light; not as much the sailors. How did their experience shape them, and our islands? So much to unpack on #RemembranceDay.

The Caribbean was not peripheral to American slavery. It was central to the development of the Atlantic plantation economy.
Caribbean plantation systems, particularly those of Barbados and Jamaica, influenced plantation practices, slave codes, commercial networks and slaveholding interests in mainland British North America.
For that reason, the Haitian Revolution fundamentally challenged the entire Atlantic slaveholding world leading to emancipation in all slave holding regions in America.
There werent hierarchies of enslaved. Where your ancestors were enslaved doesn't make you better than the descendants of slaves anywhere else.

Can someone try to find 252 "Russia would say" clips?
Country magazine, a magazine about the English countryside doesn't have an article about Prince William's eviction of small farmers and tenants, from their decades, some families, hundreds years of staying there.
See how things are? Conviently leaving out the critical really important stories.

Your reminder that Gaza had functioning drainage, sewerage and water treatment systems before Israel systematically destroyed them.
And homes.

Hazel Scott was also a disabled Black woman. She had mental illness, struggled with depression, and attempted suicide twice.
Some of her mental health issues can be attributed to racism. Hazel Scott was blackballed for standing up against segregation during the Red Scare.

Ok jokes aside, this man is genuinely smth else. He could’ve easily just shown support for Palestine with a few words and nobody would’ve questioned it, but he literally went to the Rafah crossing, the border of Gaza!!! I’m so fucking proud of him and so happy I support this man
🚨 Lewis Hamilton has arrived today North Sinai, Egypt, ahead of a visit to Al Arish to learn more about the aid operations supporting Palestinians in Gaza
Lewis is expected to tour logistics and storage facilities holding humanitarian assistance destined for the Gaza Strip, where he will learn more about the process of receiving, sorting and preparing aid shipments

Yesterday I met a Jamaican lady in Cairo who said she's been travelling solo for the last 6 months after winning half a million USD in the lottery...
She said she collected her winnings and haven't looked back.
She was so joyful, I truly love that for her.

In May, Tony Hinchcliffe stood on a Netflix stage and said George Floyd is “looking up at us all, laughing so hard that he can’t breathe.” Floyd’s family called it what it was. Plenty of people shrugged and said it’s just a roast.
This month at Madison Square Garden, Dave Chappelle told the same joke. Same words. New name.
Now the same crowd wants him cancelled.
If that joke didn’t bother you when it was about a Black man murdered by police, you don’t get to find your outrage now.
Chappelle didn’t write a new joke. He held up a mirror.
Dave Chappelle is a genius.

HUH?! THIS IS INSANE 😭
Giancarlo Esposito says his grandfather was minutes from execution until Mussolini needed him to find an opera set
"And when Mussolini came in, many, many people were opposed to him. My grandfather was responsible for all these operas"
"Now my grandfather was a drinker, he liked his alcohol, and he would drink a little too much and he'd be found in the street cursing out Mussolini"
Josh: "As one does"
Giancarlo: "As one does. And he was immediately put in jail. And over and over again, he was let out. And Mussolini would wanna see operas and of course that incensed him"
"Five minutes away from a firing line, they had marched him out and the phone call came in, 'I'm looking for Esposito. Where's Esposito? Where's Esposito?' 'Why? Why?' 'Because I wanna see Madame Butterfly and he knows where the set is'"
"And literally was saved very close to losing his life. And he delivered that set and then he and my father raced away to the resistance in the mountains and finally left Naples, that call was too close for comfort"

Jason Arday was hunted by eugenicists whom the British press chose to empower - whose anti-EDI framing they endorsed. Rather than feeling shame they celebrated one of the articles that contributed, even if unintentionally, to the hunt. What does that say about structural racism?
