Trump and Rubio are now inflicting the unthinkable on Cuba – an embargo that deprives the Cuban people of vital fuel. This is an immoral, illegal and ruthless attempt to deal a final death blow to Cuba. The question is, will the world allow Cuba, a symbol of human dignity and resistance, to fall? . . .

The Military Occupation of Washington, DC: Then and Now
Trump’s initial deployment of the National Guard to DC is not unprecedented. Instead it is an escalation of a centuries-long war against Black, working-class, and poor people waged by both political parties and supported by much of the US population because of the incessant racist rhetoric about Black crime. . . .
“Crime”, The Trojan Horse For Colonial Control
Within the United States, the discourse on crime functions as the engine of domestic imperialism, particularly over the African/Black internal colony. The bipartisan commitment to “tough-on-crime” policies has systematically normalized the criminalization of poverty and Blackness, creating a populace conditioned to accept ever-more repressive measures. The tragedy is not just a figure like Donald Trump’s brazenness, but the Democratic Party’s decades-long failure to dismantle the very systems that enable it. . . .
U.S. trying to set fire to the Caribbean
They would do well to take a look at the fate of those who at various points decided to make themselves willing pawns of the US in its drive for global domination. They are on the road of Saddam Hussein and Manuel Noriega and they may come to find out, like Zelensky of Ukraine, that the US will use you and discard you when it no longer has uses for you.
The people of the Caribbean cannot allow the US and its lackeys to set fire to our home. . . .

Zionists starved more Palestinians to death yesterday / than the number of classmates i graduated with, / but Miss Lauryn Hill walked the Met Gala. . . .
Unhoused Why? It’s Always About the Land
Wherever unhoused people live in groups, cities routinely conduct sweeps to clear homeless encampments, particularly when there are planned events that generate capital for wealthy individuals and companies… Just like British soldiers of the past, and the original European settlers, modern law enforcement follows orders and reveals itself to be a mechanism of capitalism by carrying out the inhumane dictates of the landed gentry they serve. . . .
These “We Should Sit Out The Protests” People Don’t Speak for Genuine Activists
These people on social media are saying the things they are saying to get likes and clout as a tactic to build their brands and open doors to paid endorsement of their content. For them its exactly what Malcolm also told us – “they say exactly what the white man wants them to say!” Those of who have been organizing on the streets for decades know better than this charade. . . .
We Share Some of the Responsibility for all These Sellouts
Some of us are so invested in this idealism and individualism that while we criticize Trump supporters for displaying blind loyalty to him, we cannot even see how what we do with Obama is no different. . . .
