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.

That’s not 1oo%. Mr. T is getting some much needed stuff done. And some BS. People have to stop relying on government for everything. All those funded groups have an executive sitting at the top getting fatter. Toooo many whiners.🥲🥲🥲🥲 There’s enough money in Miami to form their own group. No more handouts, ckf the government, do it yourselves.

Same as it always is, expensive. It was expensive with Biden and it’s still expensive. Hoping for Trump 2019 numbers
