The crossings are closed β€” we are trapped without food or medicine…my kids fall asleep to fear and wake up to hunger.

I’m not asking for comfort, only a small meal to ease their hunger and protect their dignity.

solidarity with Jairo and all colleagues who use their voice to challenge colonial logics and legacies in the very universities that we work and teach in. Jairo's case reminds us that job offers and tenure decisions are not objective assessments but political decisions.

The US campaign to starve Cuba of fuel should be understood as genocidal. They are targeting a whole nation, deliberately destroying conditions necessary for life, in flagrant violation of international law. Pure barbarism, there is no other way to describe it.

It is fruitless to appeal to capital, to imperialism, in moral terms. The objective is to defeat it.
