Still studying the reforms in Cuba (176 of them!) and this really is the biggest retreat in Cuban socialism's history. A short thread on two policy areas 🧵

@Phil_Lewis_ Voted out one of the few politicians who stood against Israel and demanded Democrats do more to meet the needs of Americans and replaced him with a Black Zionist.

During Evo Morales' govt (2006-2019) Bolivia's GDP tripled and poverty was cut in half. It was the fastest growing economy in region for most of that period.

People are protesting because they know what a succesful socialist market economy looks like vs. Neoliberal failure now.

[Ollie Vargas @Ollie_Vargas_]

This is Bolivia: Day 8 of the general strike, barricades across all the highways bringing all trade and economic activity to a halt, commercial trucks backed up for miles. This continues until the neoliberal govt resigns.

Workers of every country have their Strait of Hormuz.

These are international civilians, innocent of any crime, who have been illegally abducted in international waters by Israel. That’s what we’re looking at here.

When Pakistan was devastated by an earthquake Cuba sent aid and doctors that saved lives. When Ukrainian children were poisoned by Chernobyl, Cuba treated 20,000+ of them. When Caribbean nations abandoned their people, Cuban doctors went into rural areas and treated them.

🚨Israel assassinated Imad Miqdad yesterday in a drone strike, targeting his solar-powered phone charging station in Gaza yesterday.

Miqdad had been providing civilians with a rare means of communication amid ongoing electricity cuts.

The strike killed him and destroyed the facility, further limiting access to basic services and connectivity for residents.

Afroman recently testified in court, explaining why he chose to bring a news team with him to the Sheriff's Office to retrieve cash seized during a 2022 raid on his home:

"I didn't want to get beat up or 'Epsteined' at the sheriff's station after I saw them running around my house with AR-15s. So, that's why I brought the news and my attorney, to make sure I got out of that place with my money."

🇨🇺 💗 We're getting ready to bring 6,300 pounds of crucial medical aid to Cuba.

The supplies — valued at $433k — will be delivered on Friday by our delegation of over 140 people.

We refuse to let the U.S. government suffocate our Cuban brothers and sisters. Cuba is not alone!

CNN: Breaking news. Cuba's electrical grid has suffered a complete and total collapse. This is according to the country's power operator. It's the first nationwide blackout since the US effectively shut off the flow of oil to Cuba

[John McEvoy @jmcevoy_2]

My latest in @declassifiedUK is a shocking story of incompetence, malfeasance, and unlawful behaviour:

Britain's Ministry of Defence paid £1.5 billion for drones which kept crashing and couldn't fly in bad weather.

The contract was awarded to Israel's largest arms firm Elbit Systems and Thales from France.

Those companies squeezed the MoD for years, with the drones costing £88,400 per flying hour and executives charging £18,000 a month for hotels.

Meanwhile, Elbit and Thales produced an export variant of the same drone and signed a £400 million contract to sell them to Romania.

Despite everything, they were assisted by the UK government, which subsidised the production of those drones and promised to support export licenses.

Shipping documents expose how dozens of drone components have been sent from Britain to Israel since the contract with Romania was signed - but they haven't been onward exported to Romania.

And open-source evidence now strongly suggests Elbit has been testing the drones in the illegally occupied Golan Heights, likely breaching UK export law.

The pilots might have spoken Hebrew, but the machinery of death's first language is English."
