i havent reposted about Gaza, the West Bank, Palestine, and the zionist expansion into Lebanon, Syria, West Asia, but this usa-funded brutality is ongoing and i am still always for a Free Palestine, anti-imperialism in Asia and Africa, and Land Back in all of the "americas."
eventually there will be no FDA; no food recalls, or information. individuals will just fall sick, some (of us) may die, there will be no federal department to link isolated incidents, track food-borne illnesses & press for solutions.
those who raise issues will be derided as "paranoid"--"commies"--"libtards."
no doubt, it is already happening.

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.
It's utterly ridiculous that we have all these supposed billionaire geniuses running around, and their greatest innovation of our lifetime has been stealing our personal data to sell us targeted ads.
I haven't played about Mark Ruffalo since 2016 when he protested the DAPL alongside the Standing Rock Sioux tribe. He brought solar trailers to power the encampments and he wrote an op-ed in The Guardian
