Historian and author @GregGrandin says the rightward shift in Latin America is backed by President Trump. If Trump-supported candidates continue to win elections, “we’re going to see a full-on re-escalation of the war on drugs,” says Grandin. “That is explicitly the plan.”
I have always, and will continue, to stand with the Ukrainian people and unequivocally condemn Putin’s illegal and brutal invasion. I voted against the Ukraine Support Act because of its inclusion of broad economic sanctions. Time and again, sanctions like these fail to achieve their stated goals while inflicting real suffering on ordinary people. Opposing Russian aggression does not require us to support policies that punish ordinary civilians who did not ask for this war.
The foreign policy establishment continues to return to the same failed playbook and expects different results. Economic sanctions fail to achieve their desired goals and in most cases are counterproductive to ending war.
I remain committed to supporting diplomacy, peace, and justice for the Ukrainian people affected by this horrific conflict. But I could not in good conscience support legislation that wages economic warfare on innocent civilians.
@Liberation_Blk I know your not a fan of trotskyism nor anarchism but what other ideologies that are not marxist leninist would you support working with to end colonialism?
@Liberation_Blk Fun fact as a cuban american democratic market socialist titos yugoslavia and salvador allendes chile tie for me on my favorite socialist projects.
.@NYPANetwork unendorsed Rep. Adriano Espaillat yesterday & voted to back Darializa Avila Chevalier instead.
The group did so even though its political director shamed Mamdani just days ago for breaking his vow to Espaillat by endorsing Avila Chevalier. https://t.co/pjuECx6KZt
We speak to Cuban American historian Ada Ferrer about the effects of U.S. and Cuban economic policy on the Cuban people.
"The situation there is dire. It has been for quite some time, and it's gotten worse and worse over the last five months."
Because of your voice on Delaney Hall, the Trump admin just released 18 yr old high school senior whose story I told. They released the pregnant women held inside. These releases show ICE isn’t targeting the violent criminals. ICE is feeling the pressure. Keep raising your voice.
After a 1-point loss in North Carolina and a disappointing night in Illinois, the left is starting to hit its stride in congressional primaries.

Ramsey Robinson who ran in the peace and freedom party of California (socialist) got 0.4% of the vote.
It's funny how many times I have to repeat myself.
Third parties will never win, become a Democrat and organize here so we can win more races as progressives/ socialists.
Miami is not a monolith. Gladys Canizares left #Cuba alone at 15, sent to the U.S. through Operation Pedro Pan. Years later in Miami, she became an organizer in the hardline Cuban American lobby. Today, she's one of the loudest voices to end the embargo she once defended.
