How are we letting this happen to children?

Children are being terrorized. Children are being tortured, deprived of medicine, medical care, potable water & healthy food.

We need to do more to stop #ICELawlessness.

Tell MAGA neighbors & family what's happening.

Download & send them videos. 🧡

The banking crisis that caused so much harm to communities up and down the country, Atos, libraries closed, legal aid gone for most, student loans whacked up, and so much, more then Grenfell, PPE scandal, half Tesco workforce relying on benefits... make a choice based on what you see going on.

From Guardian article 2025: "Asked whether he thought UK policitians should continue to use X, Ahmed told PA: "Politicians have to make decisions for themselves, but every time they post on X, they are putting a buck in Mr Musk's pocket and I think they need to question their own consciences and ask themselves whether or not they think they can carry on doing that."

It's incredible they are still on there, each post puts a dollar in Musk's pocket. πŸ‘‡

So many world leaders are just silent and letting the people starve and die in Cuba because they can't and won't stand up to Trump

Cuba Grapples with Hardened U.S. Blockade: "The Only Victims Are the People of Cuba"

Trump followed through on his threat to impose an oil blockade on Cuba, announcing on January 29 punishing tariffs on any country that provides oil to Cuba. We published this story with @dropsitenews.com about the effects of the heightened sanctions.

A few countries are helping Cuba, but so many other countries have just capitulated to Trump - think 'regime change' and not look at the humanitarian suffering that's being imposed on Cubans from *outside* of Cuba. The immorality of this.

A mother of 3 gone, a wife, a daughter, sister, friend, gone for this. This is fault line of ICE lack of respect for human life.

Please big-up this sizzling 1980s disco parody skewering Donald Trump and far-right politics.
It's also a response to the disturbing emergence of far-right music.

We point this out about Rubio, because we believe him to a dissembler. We want those who observe what's going on with Cuba to watch Rubio says versus what Rubio does or the reality of things, the gaps....

Protest, observation, celebration, whatever it is was - taking a human life over it, not acceptable.

For non UK followers this is about the UK's Democratic Right to protest - which people of conscience have to continually fight to maintain.

Small kindnesses make a difference. It's important to remember that so many of us will be moving through carrying the heaviest of pain and trying to to act 'normal'. May she rest in peace, losing a parent can be existentialist loss.

β€œThis is a regime that has survived almost entirely on subsidies β€” first from the Soviet Union, then from Hugo Chavez,” Rubio said in the interview. β€œFor the first time, it has no subsidies coming in from anyone, and the model has been laid bare.”

"Rubio hints that #Cuba can reform its economy as a way to ease U.S. pressure." This comment from Rubio struck us... The way he just doesn't mention the blockade, as if had zero impact on Cuba's economy.

How is it acceptable, moral to besiege Cuba like this? Starving the people, threatening those in hospital by threatening electricity supplies, because you say you don’t like their government. No you want forced access to their market. Negotiate- don’t force. Stop being bullies #USA

Cuba oil refinery fire hits as fuel crisis deepens The fire, which Cuban officials say was contained quickly, comes as electricity and fuel supplies dwindle.

It’s called β€œextreme form of unilateral economic coercion” by the UN, we call it Imperialist bullying #Cuba is not your child USA #SelfDetermination www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It is ordinary Cubans who suffer from the blockade. Why are they being treated like this? Cubans did not bomb, threaten or hurt any other country. Yet besieged by USA

We want for #Cuba what the people in Cuba want Cuba. Cuba needs to be allowed to trade as it needs to, the USA constantly pressurising Cuba means that a war attrition goes on and it's the working class of Cuba who suffer most. #SelfDeterminaton
