Venezuela, sanctioned and experiencing increasing threats to Venezuelan sovereignty by the U.S. continues to show what real solidarity looks like. Unlike the U.S. government- Venezuela shows up with material aid for Cuba and Jamaica. Cuba, living under an economic blockade

For those interested in the background to the war brewing in the southern Caribbean, I’m resharing my essay on “Oil War in the Americas” from February 2015. A reminder that the stage was set over more than two decades. https://t.co/fLPC8ShOjj
What a time to be a Jamaican American scholar of oil in Trinidad.

Reasons why I hate the marketing of our countries as "tourism destinations". It dehumanizes our people and perpetuates the entitlement of foreigners
Tourism and people’s entitlement to Caribbean countries is sickening. It’s like they forget these are people’s HOMES and not just a holiday destination

As US warships launch strikes in the Caribbean, we cannot allow the sharpening divide in T&T party politics to fuel racial chauvinism and animosity. The time has come to revive dormant political tradition led by Indian and African toilers themselves.

After parliaments have burned from Kenya to Nepal, Caribbean civilization needs a new vision of ‘Indians and Africans Unite’.

Mangroves are vital in protecting Caribbean islands from hurricanes. Yet, so many are destroyed when hotels/luxury resorts are built. 😞
Mangroves are vital hurricane defense. In the Caribbean, they protect coastlines and provide up to USD 45,000/ha in ecosystem value. But nearly 7,000 km² have been lost in 30 years. On #WorldMangroveDay, CBF stands committed to restoring these critical marine ecosystems.
