Like everyone else I checked out Cartier eyeglasses and it was meh. They’re also not for people who have a strong prescriptions, as they’re heavy.

Raving lunatic radical. Rheumatoid arthritis makes me bitchy. 🐱 Mom. @FretNaught was my husband. Self-pity as a life project. @alisonb916 at the other place.

The 20 detained delegates have been released but most of their phones and devices have been seized and DHS is refusing to return them till a later unspecified date. People had their bags searched and the contents of their journals photographed and denied access to legal counsel.

Delegates on the Nuestra America Convoy plane that just landed in Miami are being stopped at customs for questioning and having devices taken including @Shut_downAmazon @kthalps. When we returned Monday several of our group like @4noura were stopped too. Blatant gov intimidation.

@itsmedanielfc @subterraneanish @ASPertierra @thetolerantweft Please investigate how you would immigrate to other countries of choice first. As I said, I’ve had to disappoint any number of people. And how you would find a job, learn the language etc.
English
@AlisonB916 @subterraneanish @ASPertierra @thetolerantweft It surely is easier for Americans to leave the US for illiberal regimes than the other way around. But we only see the opposite happening in meaningful numbers.

Cuba is not perfect but it’s certainly a more democratic society than the US. btw I do the art for dissent and I’m drawing you as a pile of poop for the next cover.
Andrés Pertierra@ASPertierra
This is a real phenomenon, very old, and not just true of Cuba; keep the criticisms as private as possible to avoid them being utilized for political purposes. It's also true that many are afraid to speak their minds and not for this reason Also, not a democracy

@subterraneanish @itsmedanielfc @ASPertierra @thetolerantweft Older Americans without a lot of money are particularly suspect, as they think we’re coming for the healthcare. They’re probably right.
English
@subterraneanish @itsmedanielfc @ASPertierra @thetolerantweft Also it’s silly. The majority of Americans don’t have the skills that would allow them to emigrate to another country. I’ve had to explain the Canadian point system to any number of people over the years.

@hyphy_republic Do they really think they can do this with 10K troops? I mean, they’re incompetent, but THAT incompetent?!
English
I have to say I hope that Trump is only moving boots to influence the markets, but it feels like wishcasting at this point. The Democrats are unified in their support for this war, refusing to use any of the tools to stop it, so this is endtimes stuff.
English
@katewillett I hope that the commentators will criticize the US government with the same viciousness that they criticized those who brought aid to Cuba.

No fuel for hospitals, schools, homes, universities. Children sit home from class, doctors operate ventilators by hand.
But a private restaurant or a corporate hotel can import the fuel they need. Sicko stuff

@katewillett Also even glasses that are allegedly designer or made in Italy or Japan are assembled from parts made in China. They’re often not worth what you’re spending on them. Many of them are just licensed for a fee.
English
@katewillett I’m getting new glasses and will pay a bunch more money than Cubans would pay because I live in the US and stuff costs more here. This is a silly discussion.
English
I’m legitimately disgusted with the attempts to hijack conversations about the Trump regime’s deadly oil blockade on Cuba for stupid bullshit like Hasan Piker’s shirt.
Some people need to gain a little perspective.

@rcmoya84 Some of the stuff NYT has published on Cuba has been just silly. I’ve been reading it for decades.
English
Cheesy-ass pro-imperialism paper has decided to lean into cheesiness with this new Twitter persona
NYTimes Communications@NYTimesPR
@NathanJRobinson The Times has reported on political turmoil and economic crises in Cuba for seven decades. This is one of hundreds of stories from Cuba published this month. If you'd like to read more about U.S. policy, the denial of fuel, and hardships, we’ve covered it in detail:

@CummingsPayton @ryangrim Third paragraph from the end.

@ryangrim Always read the NYT bottom to top. You taught us that Ryan

@wiredearp What we really should do is lift the embargo, so that Cuba can get oil and buy the equipment they need for scientific research. The vaccine groups had to share one vital piece of equipment, and a number of people suggested that we buy one and deliver it to them.
English
@wiredearp All of the vaccines developed were remarkably good within a very narrow range (92-95%, depending on the study), and all of them kept people who did get sick from dying. We were very lucky.
English
Cuba udviklede deres egen coronavaccine. Den var bedre end vores, og Washington Post mente at man skulle løfte sanktioner før vi får en ny pandemi. USA har reelt sanktioneret hele verden ved at blokere medicin fra Cuba, såsom verdens første vaccine for den aktuelle meningitis B.

As some of you may remember, I followed the Cuban COVID stats. I did this because the Cuban response was so much better than ours, even in California. I want to turn briefly to the COVID response, specifically their decision to develop their own vaccines.

Landlords do this kind of thing quite a lot.

@peacenicsta But a small piece of it may be because the US beat Cuba over the head with it, even though our record on gay rights wasn’t exactly stellar. To read in the US, you’d believe that UMAP existed for decades. It existed for a year and a half.
English
@peacenicsta Many younger folks don’t even know it, since Cuba has cleaned up its act since then, interestingly in part as a result of the Mariel exodus.

@peacenicsta Four thousand gay Cubans left in Mariel. Many of them weren’t anti-communist. A few were party members. But the 1979 homophobia campaign was so awful that they couldn’t stand it anymore.
English
@AlisonB916 say it ain't so - there is nuance in life?!
Bahahaha
They have done amazing things, mad respect on lots of it, especially the vaccine recently. But also some people did not have a great time of it there right... like we can surely admit that... or maybe not, idk haha

@peacenicsta I am not getting involved in that particular discourse at all. Never!!

@peacenicsta I am neither of the Cuba cheerleading school, nor of the Cuba is the Devil school.
