@AlanBritoPriet4@AbbyMartin You first hint at your ignorance by calling Abby a 'liberal', then you remove all doubt - not only by the content of your spoon-fed CIA talking-points, en ambos idiomas, but also with your excessive use of personal insults. Instant self own. Congratulations.
@SpoxCHN_MaoNing Sadly, while this does partially solve some problems, it also creates other environmental issues. Flushing devastates the downstream fish & invertebrate populations, even when carefully controlled it can take many months for populations to recover.
With the US holding a gun to Cuba, we must hear directly from the leader in the crosshairs, Miguel Díaz-Canel. In his first-ever interview with an American journalist—me—we bring his story to life through rich archival footage that immerses you in the history, struggles, and achievements of the Cuban people.
Thrilled that our new documentary, Cuba After Castro, directed by me and Matt Belen, is out now!

The US empire is waging a neocolonial assault all across Latin America.
The US blatantly meddled in Colombia's election. Trump and Marco Rubio backed the far-right, multimillionaire candidate Abelardo de la Espriella (a defender of fascist paramilitaries), and there are serious irregularities in the results.
Colombia's current left-wing President Gustavo Petro has been very pro-Palestine and pro-China. He cut relations with the genocidal Israeli regime and joined China's Belt and Road Initiative.
De la Espriella vows to form a close alliance with the US and Israel, and minimize relations with China. Just a few weeks before the elections, he was in Florida, meeting with far-right US politicians who are close allies of Trump and Rubio.
The same thing is happening across the continent. The US carried out a blatant electoral coup in Honduras, to put a drug cartel-linked, pro-US, pro-Israel, anti-China puppet in power.
The US is currently trying to steal the election in Peru, to put the daughter of the fascist former dictator in power.
The US empire already has far-right puppets in power in Argentina, Chile, and Ecuador. The leader of Chile is the Pinochet-defending son of a Nazi war criminal. The dictator of Ecuador is the son of the country's richest billionaire oligarch.
Brazil is the next target of the US empire's neocolonial assault, in this year's election.
This is the colonial Monroe Doctrine in the neo-fascist era.
@juliet_turner6 I never fail to be amazed at the intricate complexity & beauty of insects, they're surely some of the most advanced & compact biological organisms on earth. Even seemingly mundane creatures such as a fruit fly or a humble house fly represent incredible feats of nano-engineering.
There's a reason the empire invests so heavily in stories about people who had nothing and built something.
Not because those stories are common.
Because they need to remain plausible enough that everyone holding their small "little savings, little security" believes their own modest stability is the foundation of something larger, something that could grow, something worth protecting rather than something worth burning down to build differently.
You don't organize against a system you still believe might reward you.
You organize against a system you have concluded will never reward you.
The empire's job, then, is simple in its outline and brutal in its execution: maintain just enough plausibility in the reward, for just enough people, for just long enough, that organized refusal never gets the critical mass it needs.
It has done this job for a very long time.
It is, in its way, the most successful management operation in human history.
@VideosVuvu I've heard people on podcasts claim that these kills are not so painful for the prey due to a huge release of endorphins & adrenaline etc. But that poor sod looked to be in quite a lot of pain, to me.
@soigomaa There's no evidence of a trapdoor leading to the ocean, the facts are horrific enough without the need for fabrication. The various chemicals found were likely used for sanitation purposes. The dentist chair is an interesting one, however, that's for sure.
