@odetosleeepp I don’t give a shit what he would “like” about my profile. Good music is good music. Who the fuck are you to say what he would like? Was he your friend? Maybe you should have saved your Twitter bullshit and helped him if you did. I like Willie too and he is a lib too.

Hasan's own broadcasts do the prosecution's work for it. He placed himself at a named, military-owned hotel on both the Prohibited Accommodations List and the Restricted List, described handing cash to Cuban nationals while acknowledging the limits on doing so, and confirmed he understood the sanctions regime well enough to obtain a Treasury clearance before going. He then recited the prohibition on funding government and military entities, disputed only the policy behind it, and announced he would disregard the restrictions outright on any return trip. The license he would lean on collapses on his own footage, where the schedule centers on state officials, regime-solidarity messaging, and recreation rather than the independent civil-society contact §515.574 demands. On CNN, Hasan volunteered that the delegation obtained Treasury authorization and then stayed in a designated five-star hotel... "we had to get an OFAC clearance from the Treasury Department just to go" and "the American government has actually created these incredible restrictions that only allow American citizens to stay in four hotels on the island… these are five-star hotels… if I don't stay in one of those hotels, I could go to prison for 10 years and have to pay a $250,000 fine." He repeats the "they have to stay in what they've declared as five-star hotels" claim on stream. That legal description is inverted. There is no four-hotel whitelist. The relevant instrument is a prohibition list. And the hotel the delegation used has been named in the reporting as the Gran Hotel Bristol, where Piker and other participants were staying. That property is on the government's lists... It appears by name on the State Department's Cuba Prohibited Accommodations List as the Gran Hotel Bristol Kempinski, 485 Av. Bélgica, La Habana, the list of properties where the Cuban Assets Control Regulations generally prohibit persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction from lodging, paying for lodging, or making any reservation to lodge. It also sits on the Cuba Restricted List. The ownership chain is the reason... Kempinski signed a management contract with Grupo de Turismo Gaviota, Cuba's largest hotel operator, which is owned by GAESA, in turn controlled by the Cuban Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces. So payment for lodging at the Bristol is a direct financial transaction flowing to the Cuban military, prohibited under 31 CFR 515.210 and 515.209. This is strict-liability on the civil side, and purpose is irrelevant. The Support-for-the-Cuban-People license he would invoke expressly does not cure it... §515.574(d) states the license does not authorize lodging at any CPA-List property. His own framing makes it worse, not better. He told over a million viewers he was required to stay there, a claim a Community Note corrected, noting U.S. law only prevents Americans from staying at venues owned by the Cuban government or its officials. He was publicly put on notice that his stated justification was wrong, contemporaneously with the trip. On his "IT’S DEVASTATING" stream he describes the delegation "peppering people with… just wads of cash for the most part… with hopes that there's a little bit of economic respite for each individual Cuban that we encounter." On the 'Collective Punishment Kneecap Call Out Donald Trump Over Cuba Crisis' stream he goes further and counsels his audience to do the same while showing awareness of the limit... "you should bring hard American cash to Cuba and give it to the people of Cuba… obviously, there's restrictions on how much cash you can bring, but… it is what it is." A documented series of financial transactions on the island, and an on-camera acknowledgment that he knew cash transfers are restricted. The "it is what it is" is a knowing disregard. Civil liability needs no intent, but DOJ referral requires willfulness. Hasan supplied unusually direct evidence of it. He knew the regime applied and sought authorization... "we had to get an OFAC clearance from the Treasury Department just to go." So this is a sophisticated actor with access to sanctions counsel, not someone unaware the rules exist. He demonstrated specific knowledge that the targets of his spending were government and military entities, and pressed ahead anyway. In the mini-doc, standing in the hospital compound... "a lot of the public administrations here… according to the American government, it's still technically… owned by the Cuban government and therefore the Cuban military. So when American sanctions are applied, they might try to justify it by saying, oh, you're funding a foreign adversary's military. But the reality is… it's funding that would be going to rebuilding these buildings." He recites the prohibition and then disputes the policy rather than the fact. He stated an intent to violate on a future trip... "when I do [come back], I'll probably not abide by the American restrictions." And the public record adds consciousness of illegality from before the trip... he had canceled a 2025 trip to the island fearing legal repercussions in the U.S. He understood the legal risk a year out and went anyway. Some wonder whether the conduct fits 31 CFR 515.574, which requires a full-time schedule of activities that promote the Cuban people's independence from Cuban authorities and that involve independent civil-society actors. His own footage points the other way on every prong. He spent his time with state actors, not independent civil society. By his own description he conducted interviews with a state hospital surgeon, state university scientists, and the director of international medical missions, and an hour-and-a-half sit-down with the Cuban Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carlos Fernández de Cosío. He also met Jodie Evans of CodePink and the Progressive International delegation. These are government and government-aligned figures. The framing is solidarity with the authorities, not independence from them. The mini-doc closes on the regime's revolutionary slogan, "Patria o muerte, venceremos," and on praise for Cubans "who refuse to trade their sovereignty for a momentary relief." That is the opposite of the statutory purpose of §515.574. His schedule reads recreational in large part. Across the streams he describes drinking at La Bodeguita del Medio and "a local establishment," attending the Kneecap concert, "living la vida loca," planning to visit La Plaza de la Revolución and "everything," sampling cigars and Cuban coffee, and being photographed in what reporting valued as an outfit worth around $5,000 including Cartier glasses and rings. The full-time-qualifying-schedule requirement bars free time and recreation beyond what a full schedule allows, and the group-qualification bar in §515.574(b) means the delegation does not qualify just because some members might. He also had an organizing role rather than passive attendance... "as soon as this trip was being planned, I knew… I hit up Daniel, their manager [Kneecap]." That supports the coordination element and ties him to the convoy's assembly. He repeatedly foregrounds the non-medical hardware. On the "First Day" stream the charter was "full of good stuff, you know, medicine, food, and most importantly, solar panels," and in the mini-doc the convoy is delivering "over 40 tons of necessary supplies." The solar panels and generators are the weakest fit for the medical-humanitarian export carve-out and the most likely to be characterized as material support to state infrastructure. His own discussion that Cuba's solar supply is "more than 90%" Chinese and that China "doesn't abide by… American restrictions" frames the hardware in circumvention terms.

the american govt would rather try to criminalize delivering aid to a country we’ve starved, than punish the epstein class.

A WWII veteran returns to Utah Beach, the Normandy shore where D-Day unfolded. This Memorial Day, we remember the Americans who never came home, the heroes who gave everything so we could be free.

This is a step in the wrong direction, actually. According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, "current evidence best supports the adoption of year-round standard time, which aligns best with human circadian biology." Morning light > for health than evening light.

Out of all the great things President @realDonaldTrump has done, this should go toward the top of the list! Who could be opposed to more daylight?? Let’s get this bipartisan bill to the President’s desk!

WHERE’S DON? 👀 My opponent talks a big game online — but where has Don Hooper actually been when Republicans needed him to show up? 🔎 Hasn’t worked as an election worker or poll watcher in over 5 years 🔎 Refuses to support all Republican candidates, but did support a George Soros-backed Democrat DA candidate 🔎 Not endorsed by a single Harris County Republican elected official 🔎 As an elected GOP precinct chair, ranks in the bottom 4% for Republican turnout — and didn’t carry a single down-ballot race in his precinct We don’t need a keyboard warrior leading our party. We need a leader willing to do the work, fight in the trenches, and support ALL Republican candidates — not just his favorites. Final chance to vote in GOP primary runoff is Tuesday, May 26.

@nycexpatmom That they are telling the truth, yes. We (a decent amount of us) have known for years but they have been lying and we knew it. Now that data centers need power windmills and solar are not going to cut it. Bill Gates now realizes this.
