The Master of Gallifrey

They’ll do this to Gaza, Venezuela, Cuba and elsewhere in the world to test it out to do it here.

A screenshot of a CNN World news article titled "Cuban Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernández de Cossío told CNN last week..." The text reports that the Cuban government is ready for "meaningful" dialogue with the United States to address differences, though they are not prepared to discuss regime change. ​The second paragraph states that US President Donald Trump suggested Cuba could avoid a "total cut-off" by making a "deal" with the US. This deal would potentially require the return of property confiscated from Cuban exiles who left the island after the 1959 revolution.

This is all being done so the remaining white Cuban plantation owners and their descendants can return back to the island as aristocracy and oppress the majority afro Cuban population. This is neo colonialism.

​A screenshot of a post from the account Acyn featuring a video of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). The text of the post quotes AOC speaking about the humanitarian crisis in Cuba, drawing parallels to Gaza. ​She describes a "new era of depravity" where innocent civilians are starved or deprived because their political regimes are found "objectionable." She emphasizes the need to defend human rights, mentioning the risk of hospitals running out of fuel and children being put in harm's way. The video thumbnail shows AOC walking through a hallway while being interviewed by a reporter holding a microphone. ​Would you like me to help you draft more QRTs based on these specific images or provide a deeper summary of the AOC video?

The United States is purposefully blockading Cuba from accessing fuel that powers everything from grocery stores to hospitals. People will die. Children will die. What's being done to the people of Cuba is monstrous.

The people in power were ok with it in Gaza and now they're doing it to Cuba.

Governor Moore, it’s not confounding why this administration doesn’t respect you. I wish it was a nuanced reason, but a man who openly shares stale racist propaganda circa 1890 does not deem it necessary to work with Black people, especially those in positions of power.

Beloved...there's a particular segment of us who know.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

It'd be a serious escalation on this administraion if sitting Senators and Congresspeople who are being denied entry to a space they're federally guaranteed access to would take their security details and force their way inside.

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

Here's my full report at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/the-system...

Trigger Warning: this is heartbreaking

Journalist Georgia Fort has been released from custody (video @fox9mn.bsky.social)

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

They are all Black journalists and Black politicians. Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are journalists. Trahern Jean Crews ran for Minnesota's House District 66B. Jamael Lydell Lundy is running for Minnesota Senate District 65.

“Agents are at my door right now”

In addition to Don Lemon the Trump regime also Arrested Georgia Fort👇🏽 for covering the church protest (where an ICE field director is a pastor)

Why do none of Chuck Schumer’s strongly worded letters read like this?

Who is the “us?” Whose rights? Answer quickly.

You know…I don’t think they read Neimoller’s poem.

5-Year-Old in ICE Detention Is Sick, Says Top School Official The 5-year-old who was taken by federal agents in Minneapolis is being held behind bars with his father in Texas.

NEW: Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old who ICE agents in Minneapolis nabbed last week and shipped off to a Texas detention facility with his dad, is now in poor health, his school superintendent told me today www.huffpost.com/entry/liam-c...

So much of this is his fault.

They lied about Trayvon. They lied about Mike Brown. The lied about Sandra Bland. All POL(ICE) do is lie.

As someone who has spent over 35 years trying to explain that violence is inherent to policing only to have most people be OK with this, I could be excused if I decided to just give up. But I'm not. I knew we would be where we are today. I still think that we do not have to live like this.

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect.
