First off before going into the political situation I just wanted to stress how great it was to be reminded how easy it is to fall in love with Caracas, and how amazing the Venezuelan people are. Someone I'd met briefly 7 years ago, would greet me again as if we were family.

The footage of those four young men broke something in me. I’ve never seen footage like that & all I can think of is the drone strikes across Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen & Afg that tore our men & boys apart just bc they existed as poor Muslims made disposable for imperial violence.

700 killed in the last 24 hours in Gaza. We have officially reached the highest lethal rate of Palestinians killed per day since 1948.

The "migration crisis" is overwhelmingly about the Western ruling classes making other countries increasingly uninhabitable and then militarizing their borders against the dispossessed.

Most people in countries which were previously colonized, have to use some serious level of creativity in getting through life. In this piece, I write about Pakistan, a country where you find Jugaad, or "frugal innovation" everywhere. seemichoudry.com/post/jugaad

"How can you be a feminist and listen to reggaeton?" This single question led @PatVelzqz down a reggaeton rabbit hole and eventually led to the creation of @hastabajoprojct, the very first Puerto Rican reggaeton archive. 🇵🇷 Listen on @radioambulante: n.pr/429LoCz
