In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

I didn’t just pick Cuba out of a hat here, guys. The actions targeting the oil tankers point towards a domino strategy here that has some reporting to it as well. I understand he’s said he’d like Canada, Greenland, etc. but there are factors on the ground too.
And I don’t want to sound conspiratorial, but if they feel like they can do this in Venezuela without any serious consequences, they’re absolutely going to try it in Cuba too.

Nine months ago I put most of my hope in major institutions continuing to hold fascism in check, but had little expectation that regular people with little to no power would step up and put themselves at risk.
