“This Prime Minister has done great harm, deliberately, because she responds more to the interests of the US far right than to the interests of the people of Trinidad and Tobago. That’s the truth. With the truth, I neither offend nor fear.” trinidadexpress.com/newsextra/ma...

"...Donald Trump is eyeing his biggest deal of all - the carving of the world into three spheres of influence, dominated, respectively, by the US, China and Russia, each operating with minimal interference from the others..."

There is an almost one-to-one mapping of our PM's actions to that of her political idol Donald Trump. Sobers is our Rubio. A once levelheaded individual sacrificing his reputation at the altar of political ambition. He is now sentenced to fit, daily, unpopular/illegal square pegs into round holes.

World Central Kitchen was founded in 2011 by Jose Andres to help Haiti post-earthquake, Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, then Ukraine. They set up a kitchen in Gaza but 6 cooks were killed by Israeli army, forcing WCK to leave. Now they are in Jamaica. A great thing if you can donate.

Communications is key in public, private and personal spheres. And I cannot believe I’m actually in sync with Gary Griffith when he spoke about the lack of “timely and accurate information” Is there a crisis comms plan and, if so, why wasn’t it activated? www.facebook.com/reel/8027469...

The pizzas don't lie

What’s the scene in Trinidad re: rumors of imminent US strikes against Venezuela you ask? Our protective services are on high alert. Our Prime Minister’s pretending she doesn’t know anything about that. There’s some panic buying…more pronounced at gas stations. It’s tense.

Bingo

Lololololololol

Useless. You support the US in their unlawful extra judicial murder of their loved ones, now you want to “reach out” to the families …reach out for what…they should run yuh. Pure unadulterated mamaguy.

The last time a World Series game went this many innings, the White House had two wings.

Yes

"And as millions face the prospect of starving, the president is obsessed over the fun minutiae of party-planning... Trump has spoken to senior administration officials about the idea of putting his name or image (like a bust) in the ballroom." - @swin24.bsky.social

Yeah Kamla

“..Setting aside our republican constitution, excusing the extra-judicial slaughter of our citizens, scuttling our nation’s economic interests, side-stepping our partners in Caricom and CELAC, demonising our neighbouring anti-Imperialist republic?” trinidadexpress.com/opinion/colu...

Let’s be clear: my client, Erik Killmonger, did NOT rob the Louvre. But if he had, it would it would not be theft but a short-term missions trip to reclaim stolen property.

Thanks Kamla!

The word “premonition” will be used to describe this @wesleygibbings.bsky.social article in years (or indeed months) to come.

I'm speaking tomorrow at @portersqbooks.bsky.social in Cambridge MA (and livestreamed online!) in conversation with Professor Sarah Cole, my former acquisitions editor at John Murray Press without whom Useless Etymology would not exist. We'll talk word origins, publishing, creative process and more.

My quote of the day Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage. Maya Angelou

This is Iliamna. She made a new best friend, who happens to be a balloon. Really thought they would have more time together. 12/10 (TT: andreal.corbin)

Hey…I’m not proud about it

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence. If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

My question then, as a Trinidadian, given her recent callous pronouncements re: these extra judicial killings then becomes: “What Faustian pact has the Prime Minister of T&T made with the Trump administration”

Wow. T&T in the middle in more ways than one.

"It never once occurred to me that Venezuela was a forerunner, that the authoritarian playbook Chávez and Maduro were enacting could play out one day in a place like the U.S." But now "every day brings new outrages that either rhyme with what Venezuelans went through or just repeat it outright."

No one’s sleepwalking. Trump’s thirsty eyes are wide open. It’s primarily because lebensraum is what makes an authoritarian elite. Oh, and there’s their oil of course! What about the drug boats you ask? That satisfies the “murder as sport” authoritarian impulse. Drugs runners, fishermen…who cares?
