“The country [Joabana] is really hurting now because of the pandemic, which created economic contractions, plus the blockade declared by President Doofenshmirtz to bring the country to its knees. Most countries of the world want it removed!”- Elena Castillo Flores

A quote from my recent fic, "Joabana and the Specter of Doofatanian Intervention," with Joabana as a stand-in for Cuba in this AU world.

Are the protests in Cuba still going?

I haven't looked in on them for a while, there's still a exodus from the place that might keep on going till they can get all the remnants of castro out of there.

It would appear they took a hiatus, but you're asking just in time for the new round to start. Looks like folks are annoyed about Hurricane recovery going slow.

Really wish we could get the USNS Comfort over there, some humanitarian relief, embargo be damned get some food, fuel, and medicine over there for the people.

But that's not the question

Cubans initiate new wave of protests over blackouts and hunger

As protests continue in Cuba, activists worry U.S. aid may offer a lifeline to the government (fair point, maybe we should smuggle it in directly to the people then)

Havana protests flare for second night as Cuba scrambles to turn on lights

People in Cuba protest over the island-wide blackout caused by Hurricane Ian

Those are from the last couple days, looks like the push back has begun

Cuban regime cracks down on protesters demanding freedom (MSNBC weird, they usually side with the people that hate the US)

Still going, really can only do so much gov can dig in its heels and wait out the siege easy enough there, same as they've been doing all over the world when it comes to mass protests.

Cuban protests after Hurricane Ian fade but anger over shortages simmers

Hope they can turn this into something good and maybe drag their island into the Century of the Fruit Bat at last

Hopefully I can remember to give a better look tomorrow, I think Burma still has some bad stuff going on too.

The New York City Council unanimously approved a resolution on June 22 calling for an end to the cruel U.S. economic blockade of Cuba. The next day a news conference was held in front of City Hall to celebrate this victory. “This blockade must stop,” declared Council member Charles Barron, who was the resolution’s prime sponsor.

Lingering Protests in Cuba

Cubans have experienced shortages of basic goods for more than two years. The government turned to Russia for help, and although Moscow responded with food and other shipments, the volumes are insufficient for the problem.

There are some big protests going on in Cuba right now over the living crisis. It's gotten bad; Over 425,000 Cubans have migrated to the US in just the last two years. That's 4% of Cuba's population in 2 years.

“I am not heartless, Ms. Eros, I only want what is best for the Joabanan people. I refuse to give the reactionary Joabanans in this country any credibility. Their opinions are worthless, and they are very hostile to people of color…why give them more power?”- Elena Castillo Flores

Elena refutes Adora's arguments about the Cuban, I mean Joabanan, people in my recent fic, "Joabana and the Specter of Doofatanian Intervention"!

There is so much on this post and in the tags that have genuinely angered me and, for the first time ever, ignited my hatred for Americans. But these three in particular… I hate you. I really, truly do.

Genocide is being described as a “bone thrown to the deadbeat power players” (that’s your whole government).

Genocide is being dismissed as “bad” that can be made up for because not everyone’s life sucks.

Biden bypassing Congress so he can send billions more in aid to israel so they can continue their genocidal fantasies is him “working for breaks in the fighting and towards a ceasefire”.

This man committed an international crime by bombing a nation, twice, for interfering with israel’s economy during their genocide. This man got the nickname ‘Genocide Joe’ because of his love for murdering people overseas (which you already see as subhuman anyway). It did not start with Palestine this year. He was in office when they bombed Gaza in 2022. In 2021. In 2015. In 2014 (what used to be called the worst bombing up until 2023-2024). In 2013, 12, 11, etc. This has always been his truth. And you all recognize that. You recognize that this is the truth of your nation. And year after year, you do nothing about it. You just wait every 4 years to scream “vote so we can make a change” and then ignore that said change will never involve not killing people who aren’t you.

#i hate you #don’t come talk to me don’t @ me don’t anything #a real nation that’s fed up with it’s corrupt system would’ve done something by now #your democracy is fucking dead #4 months #nearly 5 which is insane to think of #there have been nation wide protests and demands for ceasefire #calling reps and begging them to speak out #your reps instead told their offices not to accept calls about Palestine anymore #you instead watched your government (22 Dems!) censure the only Palestinian in the government #yeah. no yeah i really believe you’re gonna fight to make a change when you have accepted that your nation sells war and you will always #cause damage so you might as well ‘minimize it’ #i just wanna add that btw everyone on that post would’ve voted for hitler and no i’m not kidding #the dismissal of genocide because it could be worse for you? yeah ‘innocent germans’ much #mind you that post didn’t even touch on yemen lebanon or syria or sudan or congo #like you are acticely participating in 2 genocides #you have had an embargo on cuba for 31 years #shut the fuck up with this ‘change bullshit’ shut up #real change would’ve shown it’s face when you voted obama in but protested him bombing syria #instead you buried his crimes and marched around for 8 years citing him as one of your greatest presidents #a shithole nation with a shitty government #i hope both trump and biden keel over and die before november let’s see what you do then #‘lesser of two evils’ and the evils in question is supporting genocide #‘netanyahu likes trump’ well he certainly doesn’t hate biden that’s for sure #i’m just so- whatever just whatever #like i don’t wanna deal with people saying i’m stupid and don’t understand politics #no maybe i don’t and maybe i do view the world through naive eyes #but you will never convince me that continuing to vote in a corrupt system is better than overriding it and choosing a new one #also fun note only so few of you mentioned even attempting to vote for a better rep which is hilarious fuck you #tag: i speakth

this is your daily reminder that it's been over 65 years since cuba overthrew batista's US-backed fascist dictatorship and the US is STILL keeping cuba in extreme poverty using an "embargo."

back in the 1950s, using US funds and US-trained soldiers, batista (not castro) removed most of cubans' rights, including the right to strike, censored all media, and used secret police to torture and publicly excute anyone who protested his dictatorship. In a document released by the CIA in 2005, it stated as many as 20,000 people were killed. In return, batista gave control of most of the arable land to the US. during the revolution, this land was reclaimed and redistributed, which means that USAmericans can now sue anyone who "traffics" in this "confiscated" property.

Despite US sanctions being an "embargo," the US also fines foreign companies for doing business in Cuba, meaning it's effectively a blockade. Despite Obama lightening some of these restrictions, Biden has done little to undo the tightened policies from Trump's administration.

In November, the UN called for the 31st time (!!!) for the US blockade to end, supported by 187 countries and opposed only by the US and its bestest buddy (I'll let you guess who).

Cuba has been in economic crisis for years. Monthly income in Cuba is $30-60. There is very little food and it is hard to purchase anything like toiletries, clothes, and over-the-counter medicines. Domestic production is down because they don't have the resources to sustain them. The US has been intentionally impoverishing and starving Cuba for decades, and they continue to make it clear that it is not going to stop.

So, yeah. US democracy is a joke, end the US blockade on Cuba, and fuck genocide joe.

#the americans arent gonna like this one yall #free cuba #end the US blockade #end the US embargo #hands off cuba #hands off yemen #free palestine #free puerto rico #end US imperialism #stop the US war machine

Cuba was first placed on this list under the Reagan administration in 1982. In 2015, the Obama administration rescinded Cuba’s SST status as part of a broader push for normalization of relations. However, a lame-duck maneuver by the Trump administration in January 2021 placed Cuba back on the State Sponsors of Terrorism list. This designation has continued under President Biden.

Now, 57 member organizations of the National Network on Cuba (NNOC) have launched the #OffTheList campaign to remove Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terrorism List.

Right Wins by Landslide in Paraguay

By Ronald J. Morgan Paraguay’s long dominant Colorado Party has handed the Paraguayan anti-corruption coalition a devastating defeat. Paraguayan voters ignored U.S. corruption warnings and sanctions against Colorado Party members and instead, put them in control of the presidency and both houses of congress. If the United States allegations are right, the country  of 7.6 million has fallen under…
