Megyn Kelly just shouting “FOOTBALL IS OURS” at Piers Morgan about Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show is the perfect example of this moment in time. Put it in a time capsule and send it out into space.

Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says.

Highly recommend the Big Sugar podcast which explores how Cuban sugar barons came to Florida after the revolution and set up more sugar plantations where they illegally underpaid migrant Jamaican workers while we line their pockets with artificially high prices

Sweetness and Power mentioned! Sidney Mintz was a deeply important cultural anthropologist whose work on food history has greatly inspired me in what I want to do. Please please read this book and some of his others. He’s written some of the best histories of the Caribbean and colonization.

Shut down all of these concentration camps and provide everyone inside with medical care and US citizenship as reparations, if they want it.
One way concentration camps become zones where law doesn't apply is by neglecting policies & standards that would protect health & provide healthcare. You deny laws & norms & dehumanize your victim.

I kid you not, when I TA'd for a U.S. History, post-1865 course taught by a Latino Studies prof, everything, and I mean everything, always came back around to sugar.

There are some great threads going about how awful sugar plantations were.
I just want to add something as a historical romance author: every time you see someone adding a sugar cube to tea in a historical romance, think of those threads and the blood-soaked cost of the sugar.
