One thing that's getting a little lost in this mix, is that some of the people desperately holding on at Twitter are because they are trapped by either healthcare or visas.
That there are systemic traps that trap workers in America so they feel unable to move freely to new employers who want them and would have better pay or conditions is *nuts* and deserves a lot more attention than it gets.
@polynomial also i recommend reading anything written by Fidel and by Che themselves
https://www.amazon.com/Fidel-Castro/e/B001HPDQNA/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_4?qid=1498792270&sr=1-4
@polynomial hey ~ i don't have a blog up these days - not sure where you left a comment?
I can recommend a few books:
For LGBT stuff, a good read: Rainbow Solidarity: In Defense of Cuba, by Leslie Feinberg https://twitter.com/KiranOpal/status/802618643456487425
On exiles, you can check out
Havana-Miami: the U.S.-Cuba migration conflict
by Jesus Arboleya
and also
The Cuban Counterrevolution
by Jesus Arboleya
(haven't read them all the way yet but he's a good source)
If anything sucks worse that birdsite right now it's FB.
