I would be offended if PSL or Code Pink weren’t on the list. I am offended that the IWW isn’t.

Floyd, George: A Minneapolis man whose 2020 death sparked nationwide uprisings that the report notes were praised by Cuba.

They literally listed a guy who's been dead for over a half a decade who is only politically significant because a cop shot murdered him.

He pretty famously wasn't shot.

What the report shows isn’t that any of these people are knowingly taking directions from a foreign power — only that they disagree with the U.S. government on Cuba policy (or at most, agree with Cuba).

Their views can be wrong — aggressively, offensively wrong even — but it’s their goddamn right as Americans to express them.

Haha what incredible brainworm species is this
