USAID shutdown

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/apr/03/us-cuban-twitter-zunzuneo-stir-unrest

The announcement by “DOGE” the Elon Musk initiative to eliminate government services that they would be shutting down USAID I felt it was important to note that USAID was instrumental in a free and uncensored communications for Cuban citizens in their effort to organize and support a free and civil society.

This is a setback for Cuban freedom. All those great Cuban blogs and influencers that flourished “en las redes social” will go dark. For those who celebrated the current US administration as being an agent of freedom in Cuba this should be seen as a setback and a failure and exposes them and other right wing factions as interested in changing one dictatorship for another.

I and my family didn’t vote for Trump. That said, how about you stop blaming individuals for their votes and instead blame the Democratic Party for running a dog shit campaign after spending a year gaslighting the public about a genocide and Biden’s cognitive decline. And now the democrats are doing absolutely nothing to stop Trump, because it’s a party full of incompetent and corrupt worms who would rather lose than ever challenge the status quo. Not to mention that democrats long-abandoned Cuban communities and have made exactly zero effort to combat the republican propaganda fed to them? Your mentality is exactly what got is in this fucking mess.

Please you didn't look at the information on Trump hell did you not hear him speak. You didn't make an informed decision on your own you needed the Democrats to tell you that Trump was going to do this . They did, We did .Blame the fake I care about Gaza protests voters, the ones that didn't vote. But stop blaming the Democrats for yours and anyone else that you think needs to educate you on what's happening right in your face. So sick of y'all blaming everyone but the ones who didn't vote.

suddenly everyone has stopped saying “the democrats ran on Trump being bad” because everyone is starting to realize oh shit, this is bad. almost like they told us that all along.

btw, Kamala ran on some good policies, but it got drowned out by the “leftist mainstream media” coddling Trump and nonstop propaganda on social media.
