cuba was also one of the first countries to offer aid after hurricane katrina, offering to send nearly 1,600 doctors and 26 tons of medicine. the united states refused.

After decades of an economic siege on the island, Trump is escalating U.S. aggression against Cuba: military surveillance, charges against Raúl Castro, threats to “do something” about Cuba, and the USS Nimitz in the Caribbean. Cuban Americans say: NO WAR ON CUBA. Art: Fernanda F

Hello 👋 Many friends have asked me about the significance about this Supreme Court ruling on Cuba 🇨🇺. “Why,” they ask, “would a US court ruling matter for a foreign country – with its own laws, and its own institutions?” The answer is simple — if you follow Marco Rubio’s imperial logic to its conclusion. So let’s break it down ⏬ The US is right now preparing to invade Cuba, where it hopes to reintroduce the colonial dynamic that defined the US-Cuban relationship for decades. What does that mean in practice? It means dividing the spoils of the island between Cuban-American counter-revolutionaries & US corporations. Beachfront property, rural farms, industrial capacity — all of it. That is the prize — and the real motivation — for Rubio’s invasion. Why does this matter for US citizens on the other side of the border? 🧐 Because after invasion — and after six decades of punishing economic sanctions — the US plans to pummel Cuba with cash. Sounds good, right? 🤑 Nope! I can guarantee you that this money will not go to ordinary Cubans. And here we come back to the Supreme Court ruling. The ruling basically means that all the “charitable” cash the US injects into the island will immediately leave again — fleeing into the hands of the ultra-wealthy domiciled abroad. Through cases at the US Supreme Court, those “exiles” will be awarded huge payments out of Cuban coffers — only serving to impoverish further a population that has already suffered so much under US siege. What is the lesson? 🙇‍♂️ Well, mine is that we must always read US law through the broader analytical prism of our imperial project — a project that does not provide for justice, but rather paves the way for the plunder of foreign nations close and far. Cuba is no exception. On the contrary, after over a century of US efforts to secure colonial control of the island, Cuba is the paradigmatic case that proves the rule.

@HexPositive literally -- the shift is inevitable

When I tell people this, they look at me like I’m wearing a tinfoil hat — and hey, maybe I am, but astrology is all pattern recognition

The Republican Party is now actively threatening to intervene in Colombia’s presidential election. The Monroe Doctrine is just a rampage through the region. Bernie Moreno must be stopped.

I simply do not understand how we, as a country, tolerate the hypocrisy of indicting Raúl Castro for defending Cuban airspace — while our own government celebrates the extrajudicial assassinations of innocent fishermen sailing across the sea below.

It’s no coincidence the Trump administration chose May 20 to announce an indictment against Raúl Castro. May 20 is Cuba’s “Independence Day” — but only in Miami. The date isn’t celebrated in Cuba because it marks a long history of U.S. neocolonialism.

Raúl Castro has been indicted over the 1996 BTTR shootdown. Scroll to read our breakdown of the reality of the situation, and understand how the U.S. is using this as pretext for further violence and escalation against Cuba🧵

@dieworkwear I have never been happier to wear short sleeve button ups.

this is what some of you look like in short sleeve button-up shirts

@michael_galant @USAenEspanol literallyyyy

@USAenEspanol Marco Rubio knows very well that US sanctions are suffocating Cuba and starving the people. That's the point of them. He knows, but thinks you're dumb enough to believe his lies.

Mensaje en español del secretario Rubio al pueblo de Cuba. 🇺🇸🇨🇺

@USAenEspanol Bro el "motivo de su sufrimiento" is literally you and the embargo gtfo

@RepMcGovern @FP4America Thank you for your decades of work on this! You are a true leader

America’s Cuba policy is a failed relic of the Cold War. I was honored to speak with experts @FP4America’s 2026 Leadership Summit about how to fix it. A good place to start: END the embargo. For 60 years, it’s done nothing but cause ordinary Cubans to suffer. That must change.

@repdeliaramirez @NydiaVelazquez Thank you for speaking up on this, Congresswomen! Your leadership on this issue is greatly appreciated!

Right now, Trump and Rubio are executing the imperialist playbook - the same one they used in Venezuela and Iran - to justify another unauthorized and unlawful military invasion. @NydiaVelazquez and I released the following statement urging Congress to pass a war powers resolution and commit to a new relationship with our neighbors.

NEW: Airwars-supported cross-border investigation identifies victims of US boat strikes. Journalist collective reveals victims are labourers, fishermen, cab drivers. Almost 200 have been killed since Sept 2025. No trial, no defence. 🔗 elclip.org/los-bombardead… #LosBombardeados

The summer months mean two things for Cuba 🇨🇺: higher energy demand & better weather conditions for crossing the Straits of Florida. Trump-Rubio's fuel blockade and war threats are creating the perfect storm of conditions for a summer migration crisis.

@dvaldesnyc @claireforny okay but which one is u?

Hasanabi heads for @claireforny

"Brothers to the Rescue" was founded/led by a self-admitted CIA operative who took part in a terrorist attack against a Havana hotel and was openly dedicated to overthrowing of the Cuban government! They repeatedly violated Cuba's sovereign airspace, despite consistent warnings!
