Former CIA Officer Philip Agee explains why the US🇺🇸 has been waging economic warfare on Cuba🇨🇺 for decades and trying to strangle & overthrow the socialist system: ‘They know that if the Cubans are successful of their example in being able to provide, as a poor country, the best medical care in the third world…it’s a very bad example for the United States. There is a large mass of people in the US who can look to Cuba and say ‘wow if they can do it on a per capita income of $2K—2.5K, where ours is $22,500 a year, what’s wrong with our system? Maybe we ought to consider an alternative.’ That’s why Sandinista Nicaragua had to be destroyed, that’s why Grenada had to be destroyed. Because any movement that comes to power with the idea of providing for all the people and escaping the control of the US and its economy, that is bad news for the United States and among the upper circles of power and influence.’ H/t: @sov_media

The more I hear from this guy the more I stand by my original assessment. The throughline of his entire oeuvre is glazing and stoking political violence. Which makes sense because he’s hostile to liberal democracy and the mutual toleration it encourages.
Pirate Wires@PirateWires

In a new NYT interview, Hasan Piker says that many “understand” Luigi Mangione killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson because Thompson himself was guilty of “social murder”

@vodkasnowflake I can log on and criticise a protest who's purpose was to attack democrats while pretending it was about Gaza. That's fucked up yo. The anger over Gaza has only grown, but the protests have dropped!?! Yup. They litterally played trump assets

@RealJohnShoe @RasberryRazz Speaking of government regulations: The 1996 Emerson Good Samaritan Act limits liability for food donations that are made in good faith. Most companies don’t do this bc it’s more profitable for a company to waste food than to donate it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Emer…

@RasberryRazz America has law preventing food donations due to health regulation bullshit. If you see a problem in America, it's usually government-caused.

France made this wastefulness illegal cause it’s cruel and only causes more waste issues. Any food market or restaurant over 400 square meters has to donate all their good unsold food to charities and are fined if they do anything like this. That law should be applied everywhere

An American showed what his local Krispy Kreme does with unsold donuts at night. Straight into the trash. After private equity took over, the price of a dozen climbed to $22. And instead of selling them cheaper… They’d rather WASTE the food than lower the profit margin.

@MatrixMysteries This is most likely a lie. 1st off KK never closes. 2nd off, donating food is usually illegal.. you know, because it may not be safe.

@SarahLongwell25 It’s pretty telling when you and your ilk choose to engage with sound bites rather than his contemporary commentary on policy positions.

Look, the dumbest thing about all this is that I didn’t and don’t care about Piker. Piker never comes up in focus groups with voters as someone they’re following—the way a Rogan or Tucker or Candance does. I don’t think he’s singularly making an impact on politics in any way commensurate with the attention he’s getting. But I care about Tim. I agreed with @Timodc’s original point that using Piker as a litmus test is dumb. Calling up Jon Ossoff to ask what he thinks about Piker is dumb. It is an unnecessary distraction. But I felt like Tim’s discussion of Piker was too dismissive of some of Pikers more toxic positions. And that was the part I wanted to react to. There’s nothing I can do about the fact that the internet distortion field has overtaken the whole thing. And that people are debating my views in a way that is totally divorced from my actual, very-well documented views. That’s just part of what happens when doing this work. The only thing I can do is keep saying what I actually believe. And what I hear voters saying they believe. But politicians can reach voters who are angry about the Iran war and even about America’s relationship to Israel without going on the stream of a guy who said America deserved 9/11. But, it’s also no doubt true that he’s being elevated by the whole conversation and the right answer to questions about him should probably be “Piker, who?” Because that’s what most voters would say if you asked them.
Shannon Watts@shannonrwatts

Anyone who listened to this fair, thorough and nuanced discussion on the Bulwark knows that @SarahLongwell25 cares much more about the survival of democracy and the Democratic Party than herself. Listen for yourself instead of taking the bait.

@ProfDBernstein @MarcusMStanley This is the part where you post news articles about how Iran double-tapped and killed 175 in an elementary school, or how there’s black rain in Tel Aviv after Iran bombed its oil facilities

There are millions or even billions of people in this world who fundamentally do not understand that children everywhere are the same. This precious child, the tens of thousands dead in Gaza—people don’t connect them to the idea of their own child being violently killed.

@willmenaker No, people got mad at Hasan for saying he would vote third party and for saying “democrats would shoot trans people in the fucking head” If he had stuck to just criticizing some of Gavin’s statements on trans people it wouldn’t have had any sort of online backlash

This cannot be repeated enough. The claim that US sanctions only impact the Cuban government is a *blatant lie*. When I was a grad student in the US, I sent $10 to another student for buying me a drink. My Venmo note included the word "Cuba." My account was instantly restricted. No money left the United States or entered Cuba. Two friends shared a beer at a university and talked about Cuba. And found their Venmo restricted. Now imagine what this means at scale. This is how the US effectively isolates an entire country from the global financial system. Any and all transactions — medicines, food, technology, tourism, shipping, insurance for shipping — everything is subject to sanctions. No company will risk expulsion from the US system. Even before the monstrous fuel blockade, US sanctions had already cut the island off from the world.

@ryangrim Why is it that the rest of the world can trade with Cuba, and yet if America doesn't, the whole island falls apart? It's a bit odd that communism depends upon American support. That said, the blockade is wrong. We should have free trade and free travel to Cuba

@AriDrennen We know that Dems will fight for trans rights when it matters, just like they fought for immigrants in 2024, when they totally didn’t cave against Republicans’ anti-immigrant rhetoric. Totally.

Gavin Newsom isn’t going to lead an anti-trans pogrom in 2028 for the same reason a Republican governor just vetoed a bathroom bill in New Hampshire: rounding up trans people is heinously unpopular with anybody remotely well-adjusted.
