It’s important to remember that before the Cuban Revolution, Cuba was a colonial piggy bank for American capitalists to exploit. The revolution stopped the United States from treating Cuba like its little plaything, which the United States has never been able to accept.

Woke up to all kinds of headlines about Eric Adams winning the NYC mayoral election but the real story here is an openly socialist candidate ( @rojas4mayor2021 ) winning 25k votes. This is especially impressive when you consider that she was BARRED from the mayoral debates.

Just learned that the number of police killings in the last 40 years have been undercounted by half. 31,000 people have been killed by police without trial in the last 40 years in a country that boasts about the “rule of law.”

No matter what China does, the media always depicts it in the worst light. This was SNL when China was APPROPRIATELY locking cities down when the virus broke out. Now that the US leads the world in COVID deaths, the US criticizes China for not doing enough during the outbreak.

The level of corruption here is absurd. New York City is spending up to $7000/mo. to place a single person in a homeless shelter yet the people living there live 10 to a room with inedible food. With $7000, you could put them apartments so why are they being sent to shelters?

Israeli apartheid has weaknesses. Take for example this port. If the port workers stop unloading Israeli cargo ships, apartheid Israel loses millions of dollars every day. Palestinian liberation is in reach, in fact, it’s in our hands.

No, the trucker convoy isn’t a revolutionary movement. But the nationwide uprising where tens of millions of people of all races poured into the street/defied police to demand an end to the 400 year war on Black America? That’s a revolutionary movement only beginning to unfold

Contrary to stereotypes, socialism isn’t all about moralizing. It’s about asserting the objective fact that if workers refused to work for even a day or a week, society would stop functioning. Socialism is the assertion that workers create all of the value in society, not CEOs.

It was pretty astounding to leave Eric Adams press conference and then immediately talk to a number of tenants who directly contradicted his narrative that they “weren’t aware” of heat violations. It’s pretty obvious that Adams is choosing to protect his donors over New Yorkers.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams is blaming a Bronx fire that killed 17 people on tenants’ failure to close the door. When BT’s @KeiPritsker asked Adams about heating complaints against the landlord, who was on Adams’ transition team, he said wasn’t aware of any. That’s not what we found.

While the world was opposing South African apartheid, israel was helping them test nuclear weapons. They also built an electric fence along the Namibian-Angolan border. Namibia was a colony of SA at the time. When we say israel is an apartheid state, we mean it’s always been.

I grew up most of my life hearing the worst things about Cuba. That it was a dictatorship, that everyone was starving, that there was no freedom, etc etc. Like most lies were taught, the slander against Cuba is just another ploy aimed at steering Americans away from socialism.
