Today in Labor History January 24, 1835: Slaves in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, started a revolt, which helped lead to the end slavery there 50 years later. Muslim slaves and freedmen, inspired by Muslim teachers, launched the rebellion during Ramadan. They were also inspired by the Haitian Revolution (1791−1804) and wore necklaces bearing the image of President Dessalines, who had declared Haitian independence.

Haitians under Temporary Protected Status set to lose said designation on February 3, 2026.
As to why not sooner: legally cannot
As to the reason given for termination: "Based on the Department's review, the Secretary has determined that there are no extraordinary and temporary conditions in Haiti that prevent Haitian nationals (or aliens having no nationality who last habitually resided in Haiti) from returning in safety. Moreover, even if the Department found that there existed conditions that were extraordinary and temporary that prevented Haitian nationals (or aliens having no nationality who last habitually resided in Haiti) from returning in safety, termination of Temporary Protected Status of Haiti is still required because it is contrary to the national interest of the United States to permit Haitian nationals (or aliens having no nationality who last habitually resided in Haiti) to remain temporarily in the United States."
So, blatantly racist. The document becomes even more racist when you go past this section.

The net effect of these combined rapid immigration policy changes is that around 470k legal US residents are now in limbo or were just told that ICE will forcefully arrest and deport them in the next few months.
From here I expect Trump to try and justify all of the terrible human toll of ICE contact by pointing to the actions of a single man in DC.

In the middle of Thanksgiving dinner the Trump admin's Immigration Service immediately made new rules specifically prompted by this event.
They halted any new Afghan resettlement and promised to re-interview and re-vet all already admitted US residents from Afghanistan.
This will subject around 120k+ US residents to unnecessary ICE contact.

Now with fascists like Trump you must always watch the policies they implement during distractions.
On the eve of Thanksgiving the Trump admin moved rapidly to deport 350k US residents from Haiti in a shocking move.
Haitians have rejoiced over their first World Cup berth in 50 years, calling the celebrations a rare outburst of joy given the security crisis in much of the country, where gangs have taken advantage of a power vacuum. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/11/25/soccer/haiti-world-cup-berth/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #soccer #haiti #2026fifaworldcup
Gangs in Haiti are profiting from a lucrative trade in baby eels caught in the crime-ridden country’s rivers and estuaries and sold abroad for thousands of dollars. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/19/world/haiti-gangs-baby-eels/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #haiti #eels #caribbean

Hurricane Melissa isn't a tragedy it's a CRIME.
Countries that contributed only a TINY FRACTION of global carbon pollution are now being hit by some of the most destructive hurricanes in their HISTORY.

Major Hurricane Melissa
#Jamaica, #Haiti, #DominicanRepublic, #Cuba, #Bahamas and the #Turks and #Caicos
Do not venture out of your safe shelter. Catastrophic and life-threatening #FlashFlooding and numerous #landslides are likely today (27 October) through Tuesday. Destructive #winds, especially in the mountains, will begin by this evening, leading to extensive infrastructural damage, long-lasting #power and #communication #outages, and isolated communities. Life-threatening #StormSurge and damaging waves are expected along the southern coast through Tuesday.
Local more than 1000 mm precipitation is possible!!
[Meanwhile... The US Gov is focusing on #FossilsFuels and calling #ClimateChange a hoax...]
