When he took power in 1959, Fidel Castro denied he was a communist, but he soon began the most ambitious nationalization process in Latin American history. (THREAD)

In just nine years, Castro confiscated and nationalized all private property, until not even a single street vendor was left.

And the revolutionary government was so proud that it published several lists naming those it deemed “enemies of the people.” miamiherald.com/news/nation-wo…

Six decades later, those lists may come back to haunt the Cuban government, serving as evidence in U.S. courts of the extensive confiscation process carried out by Castro.

It was a quiet effort — and largely targeted people of color.

In 2016, the Trump campaign built a database that included 13.7 million Floridians.

The profiles included detailed information on their political leanings, income, race, ethnicity, place of origin and more. (THREAD)

@HillaryClinton

They used the data to identify Black residents, especially on either side of I-95 in North Miami-Dade, who were unlikely to vote for Trump.

Their goal was not to win them over, but to deter them from voting for @HillaryClinton, using negative ads, some laden with misinformation.

@HillaryClinton

@HillaryClinton Internally, they called the category ‘deterrence.’

Critics call it a new form of voter suppression.

Turns out, there’s a home for you here in Miami — even under Trump’s hardened immigration policies — so long as you can afford to ‘game the system.’ (THREAD)

Served by lawyers, bankers and real estate agents who help them obtain visas, green cards and asylum, these expats can overcome the rules that crush the hopes of everyday immigrants. miamiherald.com/news/local/imm…

Manuel Antonio Baldizón Méndez is a textbook kleptocrat.

The former Guatemalan senator seemed poised for the presidency in 2015 — despite rumors that drug rings funded his rise.
