The US government's illegal sanctions against Cuba are killing children, warned the UN human rights chief.
The UN human rights office said US sanctions have caused “widespread harm” in Cuba:
-infant mortality has doubled;
-childhood cancer survival rates have fallen significantly;
-only 30% of essential medicines are available;
-fuel shortages have caused food production to decline by 60%.
This is a barbaric, medieval-style blockade.

People really compare dyinġ from poverty to Darwin’s “survival of the fittest.”
Poverty is a social construct driven by wealth hoarding in the post industrial age, not by any natural shortage of resources.
Here’s the well in November 2024. It’s been leaking toxic brine into the ground for over 18 months. Now it’s also flowing oil. Chevron doesn’t care. The Texas Railroad Commission doesn’t care either.
“I looked at my son and I saw that his head had been blown up and then I started to scream.”
Dania Abu Haykal is still in the hospital with a bullet fragment lodged near her aorta. She couldn’t attend her baby’s funeral.
Israel calls this self-defense.
You reduce crime by eliminating poverty. The actual reason so called nice neighborhoods have lower crime rates is because people’s basic needs are being met. It is not because of police, alarm systems, or neighborhood associations. Poverty creates crime.

This is a widely respected doctor held without charge since December 2024.
There is no civilized system of justice that allows for the imprisoning of people indefinitely without charge. He is a hostage, his crime was writing an oped for the New York Times.
Capitalism has invented something called "cost of living" where your very existence is an ever-inflating expense that you must overcome to survive. Think about that.
Remember-
If u have Marvel movies saying "the reason for poverty & war is there R too many ppl [so poverty&war r inevitable]"- thats apparently APOLITICAL, as we were taught that in high school.
If ur movie says those things are caused by a class system-
THATS POLITICAL
New video explaining how capitalism is maintained through imperialism and the theft of resources from third world countries.
This is why the U.S. is always at war and has over 800 military bases worldwide to ensure corporations can keep extracting resources from these countries.
Journalists in this country are unable to be completely honest about what role Bari Weiss is actually playing and why she specifically is being chosen to do this, even when they share their most intense critiques of her. Her role is simple: to protect and uphold pro Israel narratives and propaganda.
Nothing has been as transparent in intention of the explicit reconfiguring of Zionism’s paramount position in our news media than the placement of Weiss at the top.
Our news media can’t say that, the big name journalists can’t say that, because they are complicit in the slaughter of Palestinians and for most of them, Israel, Jewishness and Zionism are still too sacred of a cow.
