Pretty epic videos out of Cuba with the people rising up against their communist overlords. Unfortunately this never ends well and I'm sure the government will attempt to 'put down' the revolution. The whole world is watching.

Thousands of Cubans took to the streets from Havana to Santiago on Sunday chanting 'down with the dictatorship' in the biggest anti-government demonstrations on the Communist-run island in decades.
Meanwhile, the US State Department drew criticism after claiming that Cubans were protesting 'rising COVID cases' rather than shortages of basic goods and curbs on civil liberties.

Also if you need anymore proof that the NYTimes is filth propaganda, look at them refer to "Freedom" as an anti-government slogan on their twitter account. Fuck them.

Shouting “Freedom” and other anti-government slogans, hundreds of Cubans took to the streets in cities around the country on Sunday to protest food and medicine shortages, in a remarkable eruption of discontent not seen in nearly 30 years.

JUST IN - Mass protests erupt in several cities in #Cuba over the poor state of the socialized medical system. Protesters demand freedom from communist dictatorship.

Why is the NYT "filth propaganda" for reporting what the people were stating? - i.e. they want "freedom" from the government that oppresses them. That in itself does not justify your detest for the NYT.

For that matter, "freedom" and "anti-government" are pretty much synonymous for a lot of right-wing people here in the U.S. It seems odd, then, to single out the New York Times for making such an equivalence.

It's funny watching the GOP attach themselves to Cuba protesters. One of the things the protesters want is access to Covid vaccines:
Cuban Protests Demand Freedom, Food, Covid-19 Vaccines - WSJ

Yet the GOP claim our Covid vaccines are communism:
Wyoming: Health Official Calls Coronavirus Vaccine a Communist Plot (businessinsider.com)
Ariz. Sen. Kelly Townsend: State COVID-19 vaccine messages communist (azcentral.com)


It's amusing that you can't see they are trashing their socialized medicine.

It's amusing that GOP still can't see the difference between communism and socialism.

Not to mention the difference between various types of "socialism" (at least, as labeled by the right) and, even more specifically, "socialized medicine." Most developed countries offer some form of universal healthcare, though with differing types of implementation and differing degrees of popular approval. How people feel about their healthcare in Cuba says next to nothing about the systems in the UK, France, Canada, or any number of other nations.

First Cuban demonstrator killed after police 'open fire on peaceful protest' while reporter arrested | Daily Mail Online

The first Cuban protester has died after police allegedly opened fire on a peaceful demonstration while an anti-government reporter was arrested live on TV as the unrest continues on the Communist-run island.

Diubis Laurencio Tejeda, 36, died on Monday in a suburb of Havana during a clash between protesters and police, the Interior Ministry said.

The ministry said Tejeda was part of a group of protesters that had attacked a government facility in the La Guinera neighbourhood of Havana and did not say what caused his death.

When security forces stopped them, they vandalized homes, set containers on fire, and damaged the suburb's electricity wiring, attacking officials with stones and other objects, the agency said.

On Tuesday, Stars - who has been vocal in her criticism of the government - was arrested while speaking about the protests from her home in Cuba.

During the interview, her friend is seen telling her that the police were waiting outside her home and forced her to end the interview.

'Security is out there... I have to go out,' Stars told host Marta Flich.

As Stars stands up, she said: 'I make the government responsible for whatever happens to me.'

I find it amusing that the Biden administration has no problem busing people that crossed the Mexico border to cities in the United States but they seem to take a hardline stance with Cubans that try and escape communism. Part of this is because Cuban Americans tend to be conservative and anti-communist. A major reason that Florida is red now is because of Cuban Americans. Just a bunch of hypocrisy from the Biden administration, more of the bullshit that shows this is all about them winning elections. It's pretty disgusting and precisely why I will never support these fake ass liberals. No interest in actually helping people. Carry on.


U.S. warns Haitians, Cubans against trying to enter illegally by sea

Biden Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas responded to the ongoing crisis in Cuba by saying that any Cubans that attempt maritime migration to the U.S. will not be allowed into the country.

“The Coast Guard, along with our state, local, and federal partners are monitoring any activity that may indicate increases in unsafe and irregular maritime migration in the Florida straits, including unpermitted vessel departures from Florida to Cuba,” Mayorkas said on Wednesday. “The time is never right to attempt migration by sea. To those who risk their lives doing so, this risk is not worth taking. Allow me to be clear: if you take to the Sea, you will not come to the United States.”

“If individuals make, establish a well-founded fear of persecution or torture, they are referred to third countries for resettlement,” Mayorkas said. “They will not enter the United States.”

Immigrants fleeing Cuban Communism=Good
Immigrants fleeing Nicaraguan Autocracy=Bad.

Yep, the Biden administration has told Cuban refugees not to come here--just as Biden himself told Mexican migrants, "Don't come over."

I'll leave you to decide which is the more dangerous crossing and the more sound advice.
