It’s not just imperialism. It’s lawlessness. The US has become a rogue state run by a cabal of unrestrained globe trotting billionaire thugs.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed. Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

The U.S. cannot accept Cuba's example of sending doctors to every corner of the planet. That’s why there is extreme pressure on sovereign nations to stop cooperating with Cuba in the medical field. It's criminal! #LetCubaBreathe

fact is the US is the biggest security threat not only to Cuba but to the entire world.

This is what manufactured consent looks like.

When @Rep_Jackson and I were in Cuba, we saw firsthand the shocking effects of the US’s monthslong energy blockade. This is a deliberate campaign to destroy the Cuban economy, and the Cuban people are suffering. It is time to end this blockade. nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opi…

School shooters in Israel take on a whole different meaning. In most instances they are protected by the IDF! By the government!

@SecRubio The insanity and inhumanity continues.

Today’s sanctions demonstrate that the Trump Administration will not stand by while Cuba’s communist regime threatens our national security in our hemisphere. We will continue to take action until the regime takes all necessary political and economic reforms.

@EmbaCubaUS @CarlosFdeCossio @lianystr @Tani_DL @DvidTwit Shameful.

🇨🇺🔊The Executive Order of May 1st and the blockade measures announced today increase the harm to the Cuban population and reinforce the threat of aggression. Statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs The Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejects, in the strongest terms, the Executive Order issued by the White House on May 1, 2026, which intensifies, to extreme and unprecedented levels, the economic, financial and commercial blockade against Cuba. Likewise, it condemns the decision of the United States Treasury Department of May 7, 2026, which added the Cuban entities Gaesa and MoaNickel SA to the List of Specially Designated Nationals, this being the first coercive measure derived from the order signed on May 1. This is a ruthless act of economic aggression that amplifies the extraterritorial effects of the blockade, with the potential application of secondary sanctions against foreign companies, banks, and entities, even if their business in the United States has no connection to Cuba. This measure will further hinder the functioning of the national economy, which has already been facing the devastating effects of the oil blockade imposed on January 29, 2026, paralyzing fuel exports to the country. Acting as the world's policeman and in blatant violation of international law and the fundamental principles of free trade in goods and services, the sovereign right of all states that have or wish to maintain economic, commercial, and financial relations with Cuba is being explicitly, blatantly, and directly attacked. The highest U.S. authorities, particularly the Secretary of State, are attempting to force the international community, through blackmail and intimidation, to submit to and comply with the blockade. No country is exempt from this threat of extending genocide against the Cuban people, attempting to force Cuba's isolation from the international economic and financial scene. We warn that this aggression against the Cuban economy and people will only achieve its intended destructive effect if sovereign and independent nations allow themselves to be intimidated and coerced by the United States government. We know that the world will never meekly accept illegal regulations, will not relinquish sovereign equality, nor will it leave its citizens, businesses, corporations, and financial institutions unprotected. The international community has historically opposed and condemned the genocide being perpetrated against the Cuban people by the United States government, a genocide that has lasted for almost seven decades. We denounce the criminal nature of these aggressive measures aimed at starving and desperationing the entire Cuban population and attempting to generate a social, economic, and political catastrophe on a national scale. We also reject the intention of the United States government to create a humanitarian crisis to justify more dangerous actions, including military aggression against Cuba. In all international forums, Cuba will continue to denounce the blockade. Likewise, we urge the international community to confront this onslaught, which constitutes a dangerous escalation in the United States' desire to exercise domination and control over Cuba's destiny, violating the independence and sovereignty of all states. Havana, May 7, 2026

So the University of Michigan has apologized for these comments being made, promised a review of their processes so it doesn’t happen again. No, seriously.

@javedhassan Great interpretation, @javedhassan. He,@mb_ghalibaf talks in such a way as he hold a PhD despite of uneducated American negotiators.

@ryangrim This is crap. He’s disavowing himself from this disastrous adventure.

Lapid (who was briefly Israeli PM in a rare moment Netanyahu was taking a little break) supported the war fully and now says this:

The horror my classmates in Parkland experienced on 2/14/2018 is all the children in Palestine have ever known. Millions of people marched in the streets for us. In America, the mass murders of brown, Muslim children are written off as negligible if even addressed at all.

@RepJayapal Thank you! I hope your voice continues to echo through those morally hollow chambers. 💕

The Pentagon has never passed an audit. And yet we keep giving them more and more money each year. We want a department that is a department of peace, not a department that goes to war to pad the pockets of for profit defense contractors.

Javier Bardem at the Oscars started out saying No to War and Free Palestine! Love that man!!!

The 2026 Action Conference for US-Cuba Normalization in New York has begun! #CubaIsNotAlone

BREAKING: 🇨🇺🇺🇸 Cuba's President says due to Trump’s oil blockade, thousands are waiting for surgeries: “Tens of thousands are waiting for surgeries that cannot be performed, because there is no electricity. Among them, a significant number of children.”

The U.S. is starving 11 million people in Cuba. Right now. Power is out. Food is rotting. Water pumps are shut down. Sewage is overflowing into the streets. Russia tried to send humanitarian aid. The US Navy blocked them. American news isn't covering this.

@chefjoseandres Señor Jose Habibi. Please speak out about the oil embargo and the blockade. The Cubas have had to deal with for the past 65 years. Blockades kill people. Sanctions kill people. I know that first hand from Iraq.

Mucha fuerza!!! Yoani un abrazo muy fuerte!!!!
