Texas literally is rationing electricity yall. This the type of stuff that if it happened in Cuba, you’d hear so much anti-socialist rhetoric yet it’s happening in republicans dominated Texas and it’s not a huge story. Crazy!
The United States is planning November 15th protests in Cuba 🇨🇺 and they’re not necessarily denying it. State Department spokesman Ned Price at today’s briefing:
If you’re a socialist, people should know by your practice, the movements you lead or participate in, not your social media rhetoric.
“Fewer pompous phrases, more plain, everyday work” - Lenin
There exists objective truths about how to handle COVID that socialist nations have learned, truths that are debated as opinion in the US, even among the left. Vaccinations, mitigation measures like masks, social distancing etc they take as fact. The US treats it like opinion
💯 every year. Medicare for all frees up negotiations to address other things and takes power away from the boss who always use healthcare as a negotiating chip
Union negotiators spend half their time arguing against cutbacks for the healthcare they already have. They forego wage increases bc of soaring healthcare costs. With
#MedicareForAll
unions can better negotiate higher wages, work conditions and pensions.
Got off an interview with a ABC reporter in Australia who told be the aboriginal indigenous people are looking up to what black folks are doing here and thank us because they see themselves in us.
Things will never be the same
They’ve hating on Haitians in this country since even before even black folks in this country got free. The slavers feared Haitians revolutionary experiences inspiring American slaves
@BreeNewsome
Sis. I saw that and was just thinking it. It’s pretty wild to see them overtly move to a “we have to live with it” posture when that was what they used against the republicans. Very little daylight between a Biden administration’s stance on covid and Trumps.

@Bakari_Sellers
Biden is gonna lose the election cause his only votes will be from democratic super voters, liberal boomers and no one else
The US literally had millions protesting against police brutality and state violence here in the US and you’ve yet to see one major piece of legislation addressing police violence pass out of DC.
A lot of the same people saying a crowd of like 300 protesters in Cuba means the government must be overthrown strangely don't make that conclusion when tens of thousands of people protest in the US

Study how drugs have been used historically in China to oppress people (see opium wars) then smoke your crack and then worry about forming your study group to read Kroptkin
The theory that people once convinced of the true nature of the system will revolt is idealistic. People are aware of the hypocrisy in society everyday but people will do what they think they have to do to survive
Also in
#Cuba
are at least 12 fugitives including JoAnne Chesimard, a terrorist member of the Black Liberation Army convicted in the murder of a New Jersey State Trooper in 1973.

You have to be rooted in mass struggle to understand why you celebrate wins. They motivate others to take greater part in the struggle that is needed for actual revolution. Unprincipled cynism breeds political apathy and degeneration which practically serves the status quo
@maxberger
I don’t think her comments were anti-semetic. I don’t think AIPAC represents the interests of all Jewish people. AIPAC influence on politicians is a bad thing

@alygabriela_
socialist nations are attacked by the US and the west through economic sabatoge and media propaganda. They take a countries wings then accuse it of not knowing how to fly. Cuba is under economic embargo yet has universal healthcare and the same life expectancy as the US
Police have had their budgets increase for years and years yet crime has risen but wanna blame the defund movement that started really three months ago for rising crime lol sike!
Chicago is like the worst example right wingers try and use against defunding the police. Their police budget is 1.8 billion and has gone up astronomically the past few years. All the places with crime issues all have huge police budgets that don’t do a thing
@qaomene
Legit Jacksonville Florida. The urban core was majority black. They added in the surrounding areas effectively putting power in the outskirts who then used the black tax base in the urban core to build their sides of town up while neglecting ours
And the crazy part is how republicans have embraced protests, for their causes, since. The anti lockdown rallies had a direct impact on dem led states opening back up.
Biden campaign embraced protests in 2020 - remember the DNC? - and Dems have spent the time since apologizing for not condemning their messages, like "defund the police." They're back to the norm, parties distancing themselves from protests.
I just hate that she uses this to defend Khan but when there was debates about police accountability and confederate monuments being removed she was quiet. Criticizing Khan isn’t racist and this is just a lazy take
“Ultimately, the most important takeaway from the midterm election is that we can't wait for politicians to lead. Our power lies in realising that the progressive agenda is ours to set.”
So much naked anti-Afghanistan chauvinism. “We can’t take care of them, they have to want it” bs rhetoric. They had a progressive govt and the US govt funded Islamists to overthrow it. That wasn’t passive intervention, it was aggressive intervention in Afghan internal affairs
The fact that we led protests of thousands of people last summer and none of our organizers caught COVID-19 is a true testament to the fact that masks actually work and you can’t tell me any different
Straight up McCarthyism. Uhuru has existed in St Pete for decades. They run a furniture shop. Run candidates. The issues they speak on have zero to do with “Russian interference” and everything to do with black people being subject to racism and white supremacy
As predicted, Black radicals are targeted again for not falling in line with U.S. imperial agenda on Ukraine. The FBI raided headquarters of African Peoples' Socialist Party in two cities. The allegations? It seems spreading Russian "misinformation."
Florida literally had hundreds of thousands combined protesting for
#BlackLivesMatter
last year and you saw not one tweet from
@GovRonDeSantis
yet he tweets the same day when hundreds protest in Cuba. Please. Should tell you all you need to know
They essentially are tryna ban books, Tik tok, etc etc etc because they can’t understand why their all American blue eye kids are saying Black Lives Matter and Free Palestine
A white person bringing a weapon and killing people at a racial justice protest constitutes an offense of white supremacy and it really isn’t that hard to understand that unless you’re colorblind and make your brand and money off owning the left
Kyle Rittenhouse -- now free of all criminal liability -- did his first interview and said he believes systemic racism is a problem in the US and supports "BLM."
If you think this will cause anyone to reevaluate their decree that he's a "white supremacist," you'd be incorrect.
ut austin, where texas state troopers are barring students from accessing the other side of the campus. please look at this, i have never seen anything like this
Phillip Agnew: “It seems as if too often we conflate a version of identity politics with what identity politics is and where it came from- Barbara Smith, the Combahee River Collective, Audre Lorde."
Folks talking bout the dangers of remote learning don’t teach in Florida. COVID is so bad that at my wife’s school so many teachers are out due to COVID that they’re sending classrooms of kids out to the football field for multiple class periods with maybe two adults supervising

@MayorDeegan
No public funds being used. Parks and rec under the mayors authority much like any park. She doesn’t need council approval for that
Stop listening to people with no organization and no base tell you how to build organization and a base. The blue check marks arent building for revolution and op-Ed’s isn’t a revolution
I don’t get the obsession with discrediting AOC. We know what she is and what she isn’t. Focus on the movement because that’s what produced her and that is what will produce what we want to see. Her politics represent exactly where the left is right now, for better or worse
If you’re entrusting leadership of people’s movements to progressive politicians then that’s an error on you. Mass struggle must be lead by the people’s organizations, not those elected to Congress, state capitals and city halls
Florida population 21.9 million.
Cuba population 11.3 million.
Florida COVID cases 2.36 million.
Cuba COVID cases 238,000.
Florida COVID deaths 38,157.
Cuba COVID deaths 1537
My solidarity with Cuba, the Cuban people and my comrades there is non negotiable and the folks who surrender to political expediency and right wing narratives being pushed but the same tyrants here in the US who repress us will be remembered. Trust.
I think leftists not taking Jan 6th seriously is the dumbest, cynical shit ever. Like if they’re willing to storm the Capitol to prevent a centrist dem from taking office, imagine the response if a legit left candidate actually, somehow, won any major office
Lot of activists go wayward because they lose confidence in the strategy and direction of leadership and its leadership’s job to create an organizational structure to that inspires that confidence with a plan to win that people can identity with.
The fact that even the mere mention of a Free Palestine slogan upsets people should show you what Zionism is. It’s for the pure political and practical erasure of Palestine. The total attempted liquidation of the Palestinian national struggle is at play
Yesterday, flea market in Fort Myers Florida. Anti-Palestinian, islamophobic sentiment is on full display. A Palestinian man operating as a vendor at the flea market was targeted & harassed in front of his kids by this fascist Zionist for a “free Palestine tshirt”. Zionist Karen.
Joe Biden is the first Democrat since Jimmy Carter in 1976 to win Duval County (Jacksonville). If Trump won every outstanding vote, he'd still fall short.
