What's Vietnamese, cheap, convenient, and delicious? Bánh Mì! Cầu Kiều is excited to share a collaboration with @lostcuttlefish! Across the world, Bánh mì is eaten and loved by many. Its French influence may be obvious, but many are unaware of its dark beginnings. Following France's colonization of Vietnam, French colonizers introduced the baguette to satisfy their European diets. Baguettes were a symbol of luxury and French superiority. Unlike other French introduced food like milk, wheat ...

Repost from @aljazeeraenglish on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ajenglish/status/1474938017831960585?s=21 ———————- Between 1965 and 1975, the United States dropped more than 7.5 million tons of bombs around Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos during the American War—one of the largest aerial bombings in history. The aerial bombings had one purpose: to demoralize the entire country of Vietnam. The U.S. aimed to stop North Vietnam support for the South’s communist uprisings by destroying roads and military...

TW: Colonialism, Ethnocentrism, Imperialism Why is Vietnamese recognized as an official minority language in one country? In the Czech Republic, Vietnamese people not only make up the third largest minority group in the country, but they also represent the third largest Vietnamese diaspora in Europe after France and Germany. As the result of Vietnamese migration into socialist states, a significant number of trainee and technical workers from northern Vietnam entered Czechia starting in the ...

With Omicron surging, is it still safe to fly, dine out or attend large indoor events? UC Davis virus expert Dr. Jonathan Eisen @phylogenomics weighs in on this "horribly contagious" new variant and how to navigate the next couple of months in the December 30th 2021 article in @sactownmagazine. This is sadly one of the most (if not the only) detailed pieces that covers a lot on how you can reasonably protect yourself and others from Omicron, especially while in a surge as the CDC continue to b...

On the heels of CDC's decision to cut down isolation time to 5 days, as we watch government after government openly embrace the “everyone’s going to get Covid”, and as the west hoards vaccines and blocks patents, Cầu Kiều would like to centre the people who have born the brunt of the eugenicist, ableist public health measures. Those who have been murdered by the state with little fanfare pre-pandemic, but who are still largely ignored in any leftist discourse or seen as worthy of being included ...

Cầu Kiều would like to wish everyone a Happy Holidays! In these tough times we hope everyone is celebrating very safely during the last stretch of 2021. Our Collective would like to celebrate by giving back and request that if you have capacity, please think of donating to some of our Vietnamese community in need below: 🇻🇳 A Việt community member who is living paycheck to paycheck needs to pay off bills from an emergency surgery to remove a tumor and medical care her baby's chronic ski...

Cầu Kiều would like to wish everyone a happy and very SAFE (WEAR A MASK! Pretend not to hate disabled ppl!) holiday!!! This holiday season, what better ways to bring your family together than to highlight the direct relationship between Catholicism and Colonialism? Make sure to let your 3que conservative ex-military grandpa know that Catholicism was brought to Vietnam by European missionaries and became an important tool of colonial subjugation for the French! During the colonial era, the...

TW: Mass Covid Death, Eugenics, Ableism, Racism, Western Imperialism and War Crimes, Agent Orange The 19th of November was the Vietnamese National Mourning Day for the victims of the pandemic. Over 23,000 people across Vietnam have lost their lives, when a lot of them could have been saved. Cầu Kiều recognizes the valiant efforts from the Vietnamese government in vaccine diplomacy, which has saved the lives of millions of our people and remember those whose have been lost and their loved...

Jumping on the Tweets As Content Train™️ Make no mistake, the Omicron variant is a result of western imperialism and capitalism working as intended. The Western imperial core continues to leverage the pandemic as part of a geopolitical chessboard. With its manipulation of vaccine production and rollout plans towards profit motives, as well as to reassert itself as a global superpower, the Global South (and other countries of the non-Western world) has been repeatedly targeted with disproport...
