@chrisokane_nyc @DougHenwood Asking ChatGPT to name names is truly hilarious. Easily the stupidest piece of shit on the internet.

One of the sleazier media tropes is when the US menaces a much smaller country that’s done nothing to the US and it’s framed as “heightened tensions” between the two countries. Cuba is being unilaterally starved and threatened by the US. That’s not “tensions,” it’s US aggression.

This is URGENT 🚨🇨🇺 All signs now suggest that the Trump administration is preparing an imminent invasion of Cuba.

The Trump administration's indictment of Raúl Castro, a clear pretense for invasion, is but the latest in more than six decades of U.S. war on the island and its revolution.
For more on this war, as well as more than a decade of writing on the island's revolutionary process, changing society, and regional impact, check out the "Making of Cuba's Crisis," a guide to NACLA 's best coverage, hand-picked by our editors.

If you're filing noise complaints against Brooklyn's oldest lesbian bar during Pride, you might be in the wrong neighborhood.
This has been a home for queer Brooklynites for 26 years. Ginger's deserves better.

Senator Kennedy on Cuba: They are just incompetent. All they know how to do is oppress people. They take all their money and they give it to the military and the police and themselves, and to hell with the good people.

How does NYPD power operate in Mamdani-era New York City? According to historian Stuart Schrader, if you wanna see which way the wind is blowing, look no further than our city's police unions.

Today, Ntina Tzouvala and Zohra Ahmed kick off a series on international law under the second Trump administration. The embrace of naked coercion, they argue, represents both a genuine departure from, and the culmination of the internal contradictions of, the post-WWII order.

What a coincidence that Cuba finally decided to attack America after 70 years, right when the Trump Administration was planning their own regime change. What a strange bit of timing, oh well, let's not look into it!

Cuba has acquired more than 300 military drones and recently began discussing plans to use them to attack the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, U.S. military vessels and possibly Key West, Fla., according to classified intel shared with Axios. axios.com/2026/05/17/us-…

Cuba is simultaneously on the brink of collapse (any day now!) but also going to attack the world's most powerful country

Pointed out by a locked friend: This Axios accusation of Cuba planning a drone attack on Guantanamo Bay, or on American vessels, or on Florida, all of those are literally from Operation Northwoods, the false-flag attack plans prepared by the CIA in 1962.
