Thanks for giving space to share how critical our community is to this country. Yes, people are scared, but we’re far from cowering as a community.

From @thehaitiantimes.bsky.social: "Haitian neighborhoods help fuel Mamdani’s historic win in NYC mayoral race" What was that the NYT was saying about it being bad that Mamdani studied #Haitian history - and went to #Bayo in the summer? 😆 haitiantimes.com/2025/11/05/m...

So many gems in this sit down interview with a literary giant, where we chatted our scattering, writing ‘in community,’ being in the sandwich generation, organized chaos in Haiti, and more. If you’re not already acquainted, pick up one of her beautiful books today. haitiantimes.com/2025/05/16/h...

So it’s too unsafe for US planes to land in PaP. But it’s ok to rescind TPS for #Haitians because #haiti conditions weren’t duly reviewed, while pushing folks to “self-deport.” Make it make sense. 🤷🏾‍♀️ haitiantimes.com/2025/03/12/f...

Finished Foreign Agents by @cjcmichel.bsky.social yesterday. It’s timely and prescient. Understanding how oligarchy permeates … everything just might help folks spend less time reeling from the Musk/Trump show, more time seeing ways to push back. www.thriftbooks.com/w/foreign-ag...

We knew this was coming. Still, it’s a huge blow for the #Haitian community in the ongoing attacks against immigrants of all shades.

By attacking DEI programs that are aimed at addressing systemic racism, Trump has made his goals clear: He wants to take us back in time.

This op-ed talks about the “ghosts of Guantánamo” — Haitian kids and teens imprisoned at the military base in the 1990s. Read more here ⤵️

With his Super Bowl performance on Sunday, Kendrick Lamar used “the Drake candy to smuggle in his thesis on the perils of Black entertainment,” Doreen St. Félix writes.

Lewis Cine, a Haitian-born safety, is headed to the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles after overcoming a career-threatening injury. The former first-round draft pick fought his way back after being released by the Vikings, proving his resilience in the NFL. haitiantimes.com/2025/02/08/h...

Brooklyn’s Little Haiti is gripped by fear as ICE raids spark anxiety among residents. Businesses are struggling, and even those with legal status are staying indoors. Here’s how the crackdown is affecting the community. Swipe through ➡️ #NYC #LittleHaitiBK #Haitians #Immigration

Welcome @fritznel.bsky.social! More @thehaitiantimes.bsky.social crew!

Thank you @nymag.com! Too many headlines are regurgitating his talking points instead of looking at the actual laws he’s attacking. EEOC is next.

Soooo many metaphors here🤦🏾‍♀️

A new era I’m looking forward to @vaniaandre.bsky.social & @thehaitiantimes.bsky.social team👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎊🎉

Yep— Survey says people still believe that lie about Springfield #haitians, even after Vance admitted to making it up. Literally, 34% do, this Northeastern U / @thehaitiantimes.bsky.social survey found. This is how demagoguery works. See more: haitiantimes.com/2024/10/24/h...

The Tulsa Race Massacre was not committed by an uncontrolled mob but was the result of “a coordinated, military-style attack” by white citizens, the Justice Department said in a report. It was the first time the U.S. government has given an official account of the 1921 massacre of Black residents.

Finally reading Caste by @isabelwilkerson.bsky.social after the maga ‘civil war’ erupted. It’s so on point re Indian and American parallels, I stopped highlighting, underlining, and starring passages by page 25 so the entire book won’t be just 1 big mess of purple ink!!! ~360 pages to go…🤭💕🎊

Kwanzaa time!!!

Loved spending time with the GOAT #EdwidgeDanticat. Look for our @thehaitiantimes.bsky.social interview in the new year!!!

Time for 2025 resolutions…. This might be the year I write “that” book!!!📕 More to come…

“Hold steady” indeed, my fellow immigrants. Panicking early and often will only make the next four years feel like 40.

In 1893, a U.S.-backed coup overthrew the Islands’ sovereign government, Adrienne LaFrance writes. Now some Hawaiians want their nation back:

Beware of bad advice about Trump’s deportation pledges… here is what some experts told @thehaitiantimes.bsky.social. In a nutshell advocates and legal experts say: It’s too early to give legal advice, remember that TPS or CHNV are legal status, and stay calm and prepare your documents.

Loved, loved, loved this treasure trove. It helped me connect early on as a Black immigrant kid to African American history & culture. Didn’t even feel like a textbook, and works like Nikki Giovanni’s were like a shot of affirmation every time I opened the book. She was a treasure.

A poet through and true.

Thanks @mmfa.bsky.social for telling it like it is. This MO is so common, what boggles my mind is why journalists fall for it, again and again.
