btw john cusack spoke against the iraq war, against obama’s drones and spoke in support of palestinians over a decade ago too… back when all of that was unpopular opinion in the mainstream
that’s عمو جون our illinois irish uncle
Israel has said that paper kites flown by Palestinian children will be treated as weapons of war.
Read that again.
This is the reality of genocide: the total destruction of innocence, freedom and joy.
End all military cooperation with Israel, now.
American YouTubers are flooding Cuba right now. Filming the poverty. Shocked by the conditions. No electricity. Empty shelves. Crumbling buildings.
And every single one blames the Cuban government.
Not one mentions the US embargo. 64 years. Since 1962.
Let me explain what that means in simple terms.
Cuba can't trade with the US. Can't buy American goods. Can't sell to American markets. That's expected.
But here's the real damage: any company that does business with Cuba gets sanctioned by the US. Any bank that processes Cuban transactions gets cut off from the American financial system. Any ship that docks in Cuba can't enter a US port for 6 months.
The US didn't just embargo Cuba. They forced the entire world to embargo Cuba.
For 64 years.
No access to international banking. Can't import medical equipment. Can't buy spare parts for machinery. Can't trade freely with 90% of the global economy.
I watched sanctions destroy Serbia in the 90s. We got 8 years of full economic isolation. Cancer patients died waiting for medicine we couldn't import. Inflation hit 300 million percent. Our economy collapsed.
That was 8 years. Cuba has endured 64.
And now American YouTubers show up, film the poverty their own government created, and blame the victims.
Why am I bringing this up now? Because the media campaign is starting. Marco Rubio just said "all options are on the table" for Cuba. American influencers are suddenly very interested in Cuban suffering.
This is the setup. Film the crisis. Blame the government. Build public support. Then invade.
I've seen this playbook before. Serbia. Iraq. Libya. Venezuela last week.
Watch. Cuba is next.
Cuba is poor because America strangled them for 64 years and won't let anyone else help. That's the answer. Everything else is propaganda.
Me and a couple of women in my street every Saturday & Sunday we gather at a certain church we take out money and we buy food to cook for the people who are in need in our community, and then we dish out for children, Mothers, fathers, the Enderly and even amaphara. I can say that this is the best community to live in.
IT TAKES A VILLAGE ❤🙏
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
Did you guys hear about the woman in Iran who was sentenced to 12 years in prison because authorities believed her stillbirth was an abortion?
Nevermind y'all, my mistake, that happened in Oklahoma
Around half of Venezuela's oil production now goes to the United States.
Let this serve as an eye-opener to those who still believe that the US isn't a country of thieves.
