I've heard some talk about flotillas to Cuba, haven't seen any solid plans but also haven't gone looking

Maybe that will happen. If it does, I hope people remember Haiti too.

It is really easy for me to forget how close Haiti is to Cuba; this means both are VERY close to the US

The US has no right to meddle with and/or destroy other countries.
BUT it keeps happening.

So what should people living in the US do?

What's Really Going on in Haiti Right Now? Featuring Jemima Pierre (& Lessons We Fail to Learn) YouTube video by Millennials Are Killing Capitalism Live!

This is from Feb 6 2026, worth your time:

Nothing the US is doing right now is new

It's not just because of Trump, this is not some strange and regrettable anomaly, it is not all going to reset and fade away in three years

The United States is structurally evil

Also also like- who is this supposed to work on, why, how. The "been here....... LEGALLY 🗣️" types don't have big secret stashes of money or anything, hearing ads in Spanish isn't going to magic the economy back to life

Weird times. The advertising industry creeps me out, it really bothers me.

Also like... remember that we don't actually know from out here just how bad the ICE/CBP dungeons really are

We only know that there are "torture conditions" and that people have been dying, and that it's really difficult to find where people are or get them out

I wonder if there's vacancy data.

Wonder if people in other targeted areas are seeing similar things

I don't think anyone is actually safer from ICE/CBP here, I suspect the economy can't take this any longer. But I only have my own observations.

It's alarming because I remember reading that workplace raids are supposed to be increasing

The capitalists deserve total misery and devastation

About a week ago, I suddenly started getting ads in Spanish again. They'd stopped around a year ago iirc.

I turn ad personalization off -> presumably these are location-based, Texas

They're for Chevy trucks, financial services/banks, and Kohl's points cards

Burger economy vs racial terror forces?

I can no longer say I didn't know

Independent media is not immune to blind spots & I do think a whooooole lot of us have gotten crash courses in anti-imperialism over the last two years

People WILL care if the news reaches them.

It keeps getting worse with each sentence, I keep having to pause

We need to be so much angrier about what the US does to Haiti

It is not normal or natural for any place to have blackwater mercenaries going around killing people what the FUCK

It IS possible I just missed all the stories but uh

Okay yeah that was indeed a sign of something larger and quite bad

Just started this video and paused to share, figured others might also find it useful. I trust BreakThrough News in general and am really glad they're covering this.
Hands off, go home, god damn!!

Horrible

Alsooooo CPUSA does not represent jack shit, strange group

I personally think they Suck Ass. Racist + pro-Israel, extremely sus leadership, basically a 🕴️ holding pen for disillusioned democrats. ...in my opinion.

Don't go looking for a party first, go thru a 101 reading list so you know what's up

I like that Marx and Lenin type of socialism because it's been tested, we have a lot of data now about what works and what doesn't.

Look for people who talk normal and live in the present. A better world IS possible.

This is a time for pragmatism.
I believe in ordinary people with all of my heart.

This is a great time to study Marxism-Leninism btw

Don't let any jerks make you think serious, achievable socialism is not yours too.

There's a lot of modern theory, it's not all Lenin and Stalin. But their work does hold up, and it is really important to have that shared foundation. Gotta read! 💞

Fake engineers (the MBA plague) and investors have no idea how to actually build things. They don't understand material extraction and processing or manufacturing.

They're coming in like fuckin' house flippers. When Twitter is "worth" $44 billion, a copper mine costs NOTHING in comparison. Worried!

The U.S. Government is mobilizing unprecedented resources to secure critical mineral supply chains, supporting projects with more than $30 billion in letters of interest, investments, loans, and other support over the past six months in partnership with the private sector. These investments, along with Pax Silica and our reinvigorated diplomatic and commercial engagement driven by America First values, are having a multiplier effect, mobilizing private capital many times greater than the U.S. government outlay, which will generate billions of dollars in new projects to secure our supply chains. These coordinated efforts span domestic and international projects, strengthening U.S. national security and economic competitiveness. Under the Trump Administration, America is leading the global race for strategic minerals and advanced manufacturing. This is only the beginning—dozens of additional projects are in the pipeline undergoing due diligence by U.S. funding agencies, with more coming online soon.

From that critical minerals fact sheet - it's all about the investors.

I don't know where they expect the capacity to DO anything with these material resources to come from. (It would take more than 3 years to spin up...)

MARKETS ARE NOT PRODUCTION.

Still need to go over the "projects" listed tbf

None of this benefits the ordinary people anywhere.

Govt's been saying this is for US workers, but *the US economy is detached from material reality* - we do not have that refining and manufacturing capacity here!

Tangible industry was largely killed off by anti-communism, aka neoliberalism.

Related to the "new" US strategy of plundering and such as national defense. They're being more honest about what the US has always been, imo.

Did the people of Haiti ask for US warships?

This isn't normal. Do not let any of the unhinged US militarism start to feel normal. It is not normal to leave your own territory to go threaten and kill people where they live. That is serial killer behavior

Washington downs Iranian drone ‘aggressively approaching’ USS Lincoln Iranian media said a Shahed 139 was ‘legally’ conducting surveillance in open waters, and that Tehran is investigating why authorities lost contact with the drone

thecradle.co/articles/was...

None of this is happening in US territory.
30,000 US soldiers or whatever are certainly in danger - but those bases are not inside of the US, and the danger comes from US military aggression.

Iran is being too nice

There are a bunch of ancient sites along the silk road that were built into the mountains, the art's really cool bc you can see these major historical transitions

Was looking for one that I only half-remember, it's either in Iran or China. That does not narrow things down at all!
