My article calling for more & more robust solidarity with #Cuba from the global Left:
"I can understand the political — and existential — crisis behind their fears. But I think the Cuban people deserve better." @truthout #Cuba #CubaProtests

Successfully defended my dissertation on Nov. 24th in a pandemic, over zoom, with my nine-month old son and my partner by my side and my colleagues holding virtual vigil for my results. What. A. Year. Call me Doctora.
One of my favorite aspects of historical work is when the documentary record of a historical figure sends you on a wild goose chase that no doubt reflects the kind of life they lived. #thanksJEscandell #cubanprotestants #twitterstorians

One reason why Cuban exiles of the late 60s, 70s & ever since have identified, allied with white supremacy, thinking whiteness will protect them. Black Cuban Americans never had the luxury. And any Cuban-American who has been north of Orlando knows their "whiteness" is a lie.

In the midst of all that is happening in my life, our world, and this country at the moment, I cannot let it pass by that yesterday marked the 40th anniversary of my family's arrival to the United States. 2020 is the 40th anniversary of the 1980 Mariel Boatlift
I am incredibly proud of what my parents and brother overcame as migrants during an intense political time, and how they have thrived against the odds to this day.

Imagine not visiting country where you were born for 60 years, and returning, only to succumb to Covid-19 there. That appears to be what happened here.
