Urgente: La policía política del régimen cubano  cerca la Sede de #UNPACU según denuncia @jdanielferrer en este reporte: La represión comenzó con agentes vestidos de civil, incluso en camisetas. Están deteniendo a colaboradores del proyecto humanitario de UNPACU y robando dinero y productos alimenticios. Quieren impedirnos que alimentemos a personas que el régimen está matando de hambre. Esperamos más acciones represivas. El Teniente Coronel “Bruno”, jefe de la unidad que ellos llaman enfrentamiento a la subversión, en Santiago de Cuba, junto a su superior “Lázaro”, dirigen el cerco contra mi hogar. Todo para impedir el paso a las personas que vienen en busca de alimentos y detener y robar a quienes compran los productos destinados a los más necesitados. Ayer vinieron 1218, hoy puede que lleguen bien pocos con este cerco. A los agentes vestidos de paisanos se han sumado agentes de la PNR en uniforme. Estrechan el cerco contra la UNPACU para impedir que alimentemos a personas muy necesitadas. Se esperan más detenciones y ataques.

The racist comment at yesterday’s Trump rally was met with well-deserved condemnation from Bad Bunny, Luis Fonsi, Jennifer Lopez & Ricky Martin, who amplified Kamala Harris to a combined audience of over 341 million! Ricky Martin put it well, "This is what they think of us."

Ten years ago, with immigration becoming a heated issue, we set out to see if the average American on the street could pass the Naturalization exam that immigrants take in order to become naturalized citizens. What we found surprised us. youtu.be/Za4ZZN0SekE?si=33xq…

Today marks a significant moment in the pursuit of justice. Yahya Sinwar, the architect of the brutal Oct 7th terrorist attacks, has been eliminated. After personally witnessing the pain and suffering he caused in Israel, I welcome this news. May peace be on the horizon.

New story about the Haitians in Springfield, OH, where the cat hoax originated. CEO of McGregor Metal: “I wish I had 30 more. Our Haitians come to work every day. They don’t have a drug problem. They’ll stay at their machine. That’s a stark difference from what we’re used to.”

Trump, a would-be autocrat, using Orban, an actual autocrat, as a character reference is too perfect. As with his praise for Xi and Putin as "strong," his naked envy of their unaccountable power is one of his few sincere expressions.
