There's literally a u.s. government document on a u.s. government website quoting leaders o the u.s. government saying "Castro is too popular so we're going to make people starve until they blame him and overthrow the Cuban government"

It's over 50 years old

The starvation of the cuban people has been used for decades as proof of the evil of the cuban government

There’s literally a u.s. government document on a u.s. government website quoting leaders o the u.s. government saying “Castro is too popular so we’re going to make people starve until they blame him and overthrow the Cuban government”

There's also us documents effectively saying that they made up shit about North Korea, China, the ussr, etc. thanks to the freedom of information act; but it clearly doesn't matter since the majority believe the propaganda anyways.

Remember, Bernie Sanders had Code Pink members arrested outside his office, so they already have a police record.

I don't think I've read a full-length article on Fox News before. This is a hilarious house style.

The administrative subpoenas mark a serious escalation by the Trump administration against a far-left nonprofit activist network that has spent years defending communist regimes, from Cuba to China, while presenting its work as humanitarian aid, anti-war organizing and "solidarity" with people "oppressed" by the "imperialist" U.S "colonial power."

The "crimes" of this "guilty" "land" will never be "purged away" but with "blood."

Fox News voice is "Fair" and "Balanced"

and this fuck will still bat for the dems anyways

Why are we punching left here? Seriously I don't get it

We have a group of activists and influencers doing a mutual aid trip to an AES state that is being strangled by the US government. They also are doing anti imperialist propaganda and normalizing Cubans as human beings. The oil embargo is literally killing people, hospitals can not function in Cuba right now.

Now the US government is actively moving to clamp down on and punish these people and the response is to just be like "Lmao what a lib" ???

My diagnosis is that almost everybody who is doing IRL organizing (which involves interacting with various types of "libs": Hasanabi heads, "vote blue no matter who" Brenda, electoralist DSAers getting their people into local office, idpol-first SJWs, people with liberal idealist propaganda about AES states still embedded, people who think Stalin did some things wrong) have been far less active on the site. They are busy with that, and it is just a very negative environment compared to actually achieving something.

Community culture gone from "voting and elctoralism are not able to solve the root issues of capitalism in a liberal democracy" to "voting doesn't matter at all, and it's cringe to acknowledge its existence". This is weird for an ostensibly political forum.

Exception to the above: proletarians outside the imperial core can trash on the imperial left as much as they want, I'm not gonna police that.

What remains seems to be very online venting. I get feeling powerless, but I just don't see this sort of conversation happening IRL, it's very uncomradely in tone and makes me want to log off as well.

[-] ChestRockwell@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah I'm too busy phone banking org members to post here.

[-] DornerStan@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The "project" of the terminally online left seems to be to defend some concept of virtue, purity, and moralism. It's shockingly removed from the cultures of most orgs I've worked with-- except, hilariously, the equally ineffectual trots. Very similar to the trots actually, now that I think about it.

As long as you say your daily prayer "uncritical support to Cuba" then you're a virtuous internet Marxist, unlike those impure revisionists and liberals that interact with the filthy masses.

I'm really glad for spaces like this that helped radicalize me years ago, but Jesus Christ the cultures always seem to deteriorate as the more disciplined organizers focus on real life instead of posting.

[-] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago

lol I knew this was going to be one of the comments here.

[-] Blakey@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago

And Hasan stans, even here, will keep on doing their thing.

[-] jack@hexbear.net 19 points 1 day ago

He is literally being harassed and intimidated by the US government for delivering aid to Cuba

[-] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

We really need to kinda chill on the jaded contrarian angle. It's exhausting and totally unproductive beyond just making whoever posts it feel superior.

[-] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

And this one too!

[-] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 45 points 2 days ago

Watch the Dems and Blue Maga influencers cheer this even though he's still doing their fucking job for them.

Throwback to a post I made 8 months ago, 6 months before the Cuba convoy. 8 months ago, Congress member Anna Paulina Luna asked wrote a letter to the US treasury, asking for the Treasury to freeze the assets of PSL, CodePink, BreakThroughNews, and several other organizations. The letter alleged that these organizations were funded by a guy name Roy Singham.

The Fox News article alleges "Singham has pumped $278 million into nonprofit groups that have pushed pro-China, pro-Cuba, anti-U.S. narratives". Roy Singham married Jodie Evans in 2017, one of the cofounders of CodePink, which was founded in 2002. The article also has a picture of Hasan with Jodie Evans.

This shows that the Feds were motivated to target CodePink months before the Cuba convoy even happened. This also indicates that feds will likely target groups like PSL again in the future.

Additionally, Anna Paulina Luna began her political career by working for Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA. She was a speaker at Charlie Kirk's funeral.

In 2025. Luna introduced a bill to congress to add Donald Trump's face to Mount Rushmore. She promoted a conspiracy theory that the 2025 Brown University shooter was Palestinian. Luna praised Trump for kidnapping Maduro. She's an avowed anti-communist.

Anna Paulina Luna has recently focused on declassifying UAP/UFO related materials. This seems like bullshit. She had also been in charge of the JFK assassination file releases.

Today, Hasan Piker interviewed Ashley St Clair. Ashley St Clair is the mother of one of Elon Musk's children. Elon had payed her to have the child but was withholding child support last year. Ashley St Clair also worked for Turning Point USA at the same time as Luna, but is now trying to do an anti-Trump pivot. Today St Clair alleged that Luna had a "secret sleepover" with her exboyfriend, right wing twitter influencer 'DC_Draino'. St Clair also alleged that Luna had been flirting with Elon Musk and accused Luna of repeatedly trying to steal her sexual partners.

Holy shit if this is all highschool drama shit about Hassan getting to read Elon's text messages and mocking him in gonna lose it. Code pink is obviously just caught in the crossfire, but it's not unbelievable that the Hassan St Clair interview is what got them motivated to act...

[-] dead@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago

A few hours before the Ashley St Clair interview, Fox News published a different article asking for the US Treasury to target CodePink, PSL, 145 other groups. It seems like Fox News is trying to make 'Neville Roy Singham' into the new 'George Soros' figure. Also Anna Paulina Luna has been targeting CodePink for at least 8 months.

The House also sent a letter to Tricontinental Institute, addressed to Vijay Prashad

[-] Sunforged@lemmy.ml 55 points 2 days ago

There was a whole slew of forms and documents they had to fill out to go on the trip. The whole thing was done above board and publicly advertised. In a sane governance you can't approve someone doing a thing and then prosecute them months later for doing the thing.

[-] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 35 points 2 days ago

It's not a criminal subpoena, it's some sort of Treasury inquiry thing. They're going to get their asses handed to them because they're the people that gave the okay and a good share of the people on the list are well spoken media demons. I hope it's televised.

[-] mkultrawide@hexbear.net 35 points 2 days ago

They apparently subpoenaed 40 people, and Hasan, Brace, and Young Chomsky were assumingly all the same place today (Brace's wedding), so maybe.

[-] MLRL_Commie@hexbear.net 22 points 2 days ago

Is this a joke? Or is that for real?

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago
[-] MLRL_Commie@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago

Oh wtf that's absurd. They got subpoenas there? I can't believe this story lol. I assumed he was single, but I guess its more like "i like him but can't imagine anyone being his partner". But Jenny definitely knows what she's getting into, thats cool

Can't say i'm surprised, yanqui devils love to dronestrike weddings overseas, they deport people from weddings, too.

[-] mkultrawide@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

I don't know if they got subpoenaed there, I just know they were all in the same place and that would be the type of thing these assholes would do.

[-] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

It would also be fucked up because he can't even say subpoena.

[-] Wakmrow@hexbear.net 21 points 2 days ago

I think Hassan moves the needle.

Send the word brace and I'm coming with friends

[-] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 27 points 2 days ago

Of course not, he is a conservative podcaster

[-] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

Some of Hassan's biggest fans are the arch conservative MAGA parents on that podcast lol. I kinda want to see their reaction to this, it's gonna break them

[-] blobjim@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

Brace is literally too well-spoken to have him in any well-publicized setting.

[-] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

Hassan and Brace are the ones that they're actually scared of. Brace moreso since he isn't as concerned about his image as Hassan and could absolutely just fly off the rails on live television and get whoever he's talking to panicked and unable to respond.

[-] SirSmoothAES@lemmygrad.ml 46 points 2 days ago

Wow, fuck America.

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 41 points 2 days ago

Pictures like this should be illegal, the guy's not at a public event or anything, i can only assume they chose this because his dog's hunched posture as he gives a command plays into the shocked dog narrative, like it's not just one out of 100000 shots paparazzi losers took where inevitably one looks a given way

[-] harambe69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

That dog is in danger.
