Approximately 8% of US cocaine comes through the eastern Caribbean (and virtually none of it involves fentanyl). Conversely, about 74% of US cocaine comes up the Pacific coast from Ecuador and Colombia. Trump’s objectives in Venezuela aren’t about drugs.

Vielen Dank euch für die Initiative, die Einladung und die tolle Zusammenarbeit! 🤗
Fantastisch, herzlichen Glückwunsch!
So glad this finally happened. It took us too long and I hope this is only the beginning. 100.000 in the streets of Berlin to end Germany's complicity in the Gaza genocide. Thank you to the wonderful and courageous organizers, @michaelbarenboim.bsky.social and all the others!

As the further details note, the 'sugar trade' referenced here was 'built on slavery'.

Call it by its name.

Happy to present new research on the investment migration industry at REMESO, Linköpings universitet's Institute for Research on Migration, Ethnicity and Society to scholars of migration with whom I have long been in dialogue. All welcome!

That rare treat of finding your own book on a shelf at a Cărturești store.
P.S. Look, @granttharward.bsky.social , our books are neighbors again - in Bucharest this time!
Yikes, needs a trigger warning!
Cool recap of little-known facts that the brilliant team of the Uncommon Sense podcast unveils in dialogue with sociologists. Listen to the ones discussed here, but even better to all of them! Find mine, on Europe and its Caribbean borders, here: thesociologicalreview.org/podcasts/unc...
Many thanks for the warm reception and the exceptionally rich discussion!
We very happily welcomed @manuelaboatca.bsky.social to #Concurrences today, for a rousing seminar on Romani Europeans and the Challenge of Unthinkable Histories, underlining the necessity to understand the persistence of coloniality within Europe.
