On this day, 19 September 1793, during the Haitian revolution, 600 British soldiers sent from Jamaica landed at Jérémie, Haiti. They were welcomed by the white French property owners, who had signed a secret accommodation with Britain. In exchange for their support, Saint Domingue would become a British colony.
Slavery would be reinstated, people of colour would be stripped of citizenship, and the conditions of Britain’s economic policies would favour the colonists. They fought for five years until eventually defeated by the Haitian revolutionary forces.
This book by CLR James gives a brief history of the revolution, alongside other Black revolts: https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/products/a-history-of-pan-african-revolt-c-l-r-james

God, I fucking love this. Here stands a woman who suffered intense and awful abuse, and she said, “I won’t ever let it happen to me again.”

And she realized it was happening, and she STOPPED IT.

“Gayle, she shot a dude.”

Yeah. Because that’s how Harley Quinn deals with that shit. And I love her.

Beyond shameful

I fucking hate my state’s leadership.

I really hope it changes at the next election

The people of Texas who AREN’T right wing morons deserve to have a government run by people who are actually qualified to run a state

Hopefully that winter storm fiasco wised enough people up to push us over the edge to finally vote the GOP out.

We can always hope <3

Cameron Taylor, a business agent at Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers, and Grain Millers Local 364 in Portland, said Saturday that about 75% of members approved of the agreement, which got rid of the new healthcare proposal and maintained the regular overtime schedule for most employees.

“What my members wanted was to hold on to their benefits,” Taylor said, noting they mostly got what they wanted.

“What the company did get was a weekend crew,” he said, which he called “a sticking point” with his members.
