War does not lead to the liberation and safety of women and girls. Violence and bloodshed driven by old men and the patriarchy will never be the path to freedom for women and girls. The system is rigged against us. The patriarchy must fall.

The U.S. blockade is manufacturing a humanitarian crisis in Cuba. No oil. No food. No medicine. It is undermining every aspect of life in Cuba. Here are some ways you can support our efforts to break the blockade.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led
by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.
