crazy how this case and the prairieland 9 aren’t getting more attention. do people not realize what’s happening? the trump admin is rounding activists up for doing nothing except nonviolently opposing their fascism. if they can do it to these people they can do it to you too.
The sentences handed down today are a huge threat to the possibility of a democratic society. The prosecution is rife with constitutional violations, but 30 years in prison (more than anyone for January 6) for moving some magazines? 50 years in prison even for those not involved in planning the protest? The evidence of an illegal conspiracy is non-existent, but this is how the authoritarian dragnet targets those fighting against repression. Everyone should be learning about this case. https://t.co/XLki7OBuID
people who showed up to a protest outside an ICE facility and left when things got chaotic are getting HALF CENTURY sentences in federal court right now, my god

Mariela doesn’t get nearly enough credit for her contributions to the revolution!! 🩷 She, and the incredible base of organizers she’s grown at CENESEX, were the driving force behind Cuba’s Family Code. CENESEX has taught so many of us how communism achieves women’s liberation
Hello 👋 Many friends have asked me about the significance about this Supreme Court ruling on Cuba 🇨🇺.
“Why,” they ask, “would a US court ruling matter for a foreign country – with its own laws, and its own institutions?”
The answer is simple — if you follow Marco Rubio’s imperial logic to its conclusion.
So let’s break it down ⏬
The US is right now preparing to invade Cuba, where it hopes to reintroduce the colonial dynamic that defined the US-Cuban relationship for decades.
What does that mean in practice? It means dividing the spoils of the island between Cuban-American counter-revolutionaries & US corporations.
Beachfront property, rural farms, industrial capacity — all of it. That is the prize — and the real motivation — for Rubio’s invasion.
Why does this matter for US citizens on the other side of the border? 🧐
Because after invasion — and after six decades of punishing economic sanctions — the US plans to pummel Cuba with cash.
Sounds good, right? 🤑 Nope! I can guarantee you that this money will not go to ordinary Cubans.
And here we come back to the Supreme Court ruling.
The ruling basically means that all the “charitable” cash the US injects into the island will immediately leave again — fleeing into the hands of the ultra-wealthy domiciled abroad.
Through cases at the US Supreme Court, those “exiles” will be awarded huge payments out of Cuban coffers — only serving to impoverish further a population that has already suffered so much under US siege.
What is the lesson? 🙇♂️ Well, mine is that we must always read US law through the broader analytical prism of our imperial project — a project that does not provide for justice, but rather paves the way for the plunder of foreign nations close and far.
Cuba is no exception. On the contrary, after over a century of US efforts to secure colonial control of the island, Cuba is the paradigmatic case that proves the rule.
"I support Cuba because I am on the side of humanity and life, and I recognize the leading role it is playing in the struggle to put Nuestra América in the hands of its people, to release it from the death grip of the Epstein class."
