If Cuba is a “failed nation” then why has the U.S. spent 66 years trying and failing to destroy it?

Cuba isn’t failing, it’s being suffocated. https://t.co/UecqcNXLUh

Last night, the US military killed 11 people in airstrikes on boats in the the Pacific and the Caribbean.

Since September, the US has killed 135 people this way.
Every single one of these strikes is a war crime.

June 15, 2025: Israel & Iran scheduled for peace talks.
June 12: Israel bombs Iran.
June 19: Trump gives Iran 2 weeks to negotiate ceasefire.
June 22: US bombs Iran.
How can we ever expect peace if the US never negotiates in good faith? https://t.co/wBwl39TzyE
@codepinkalert 🇨🇺 What happens if you get an asthma attack in Cuba? That is exactly what happened to Tighe last week in Holguín - the response was shocking.

@codepinkalert URGENT: The U.S. is moving toward a potential war with Iran, with aircraft carriers, warships, and hundreds of fighter jets already positioned as officials warn strikes could come soon a catastrophic conflict that would put millions of lives at risk, endanger tens of thousands of U.S. troops in the region, and repeat the deadly mistakes of Iraq. Regardless of how you feel about Iran’s government, another war in the Middle East would be devastating and avoidable; Congress must act now by supporting the bipartisan War Powers Resolution H.Con.Res. 38, introduced by Reps. Ro Khanna and Tom Massie, to stop unauthorized military action and push for real diplomacy before it’s too late.

@codepinkalert Outside what was once the U.S. Institute of Peace, now hosting Trump’s so-called “Board of Peace” activists are speaking out. This unelected, for-profit body claims it will “reconstruct” Gaza while sidelining international law, Palestinian self-determination, and real accountability. We stand with Palestinians demanding: hands off Gaza.
