🚨 Code Pink’s Olivia DiNucci responded to being named in the Treasury/DOJ reporting by doubling down. She frames the Cuba convoy as part of a broader “solidarity” pipeline linking Cuba, Palestine, Iran, Congo, and domestic activism, then says the investigation has “activated” them to take more direct action and...

🚨 Level Up in Havana: Armed Queers SLC Founder Explains Why Cuba Is a Finishing School for U.S. Activists Here is Ermiya Fanaeian of Armed Queers SLC explaining why becoming a “brigadista” is treated as a rite of passage for political organizers. Her pitch is simple. If you want to “level up” as an organizer in the United States, you have to go to Cuba. She says you come back “stronger, more disciplined, and more committed” to revolutionary organizing. Fanaeian argues that trips run through the National Network on Cuba and ICAP are designed to debunk American propaganda—by showcasing what U.S. narratives supposedly claim is "impossible." She claims the political education there is deeper than anything you can get through “any forum, literature, or demonstration” in the United States. She adds that even after ten years of organizing, including Cuba solidarity work, she and her comrades “didn’t truly know what it meant to be a part of an international movement” until they visited Cuba for the first time. She stresses that going to Cuba as a brigadista is “not tourism.” It is “political education.” It is “internationalism in practice,” framed as preparation for struggle back home. You should see this as explicit cadre formation, with Cuba marketed as a revolutionary finishing school for U.S. activists. That context matters given that Armed Queers SLC is currently under FBI investigation for connections to Tyler Robinson, the alleged killer of Charlie Kirk.

Is there a risk that Trump is merely pressuring Cuba? No. A landslide victory in Cuba holds political value for Trump capable of overriding the fiasco in Iran. Cuba is a communist island about 100km from American territory, a symbol of a decades-long dispute, and a country that confronted the U.S. by financing and arming revolutionary groups in several Latin american countries for many years. A successful invasion of Cuba would end this cycle, giving Trump something his predecessors were unable to achieve. Trump needs this and will carry out the military operation. More than that, it is a card that no one considered at a time when Trump was seen as defeated, without any chance in the elections. Cuba can provide oxygen and a victory narrative for Donald Trump, giving him new life in the midterm elections. Even with further mistakes in a new Iranian operation, closing the cycle of interventions with a victory in Cuba brings a major prize for Trump. The $100 million in aid provided by Trump is part of a plan he is working on to ensure less hostility during a military action. It is not just about reading the military apparatus and the drone and aircraft flights around Cuba that have become routine, but about an entire political juncture that is now connected to this movement. This is what distinguishes geopolitical analysis from mere military analysis. How will the Democrats handle this? Is there power to prevent an action in Cuba? That is the point today.

The first ship from the Nuestra América flotilla has arrived in Havana, Cuba. Sailing from Mexico for the last 5 days and bearing much needed aid, including medical supplies and sanitary products, it’s part of the Nuestra América convoy. Hundreds of activists from Europe, South America and the United States have joined that convoy, travelling to Cuba to stand in solidarity with the Cuban people as they endure a prolonged, US-imposed energy blockade. Onboard was Brazilian activist Thiago Ávila, no stranger to such flotillas having travelled to Gaza last year in the Global Sumud flotilla. Their attempt to break the siege on the enclave was thwarted by the Israeli military, with hundreds of people taken into Israeli custody. The flotilla “shows that the people of the world will never leave Cuba alone”, Ávila told Novara Media, “And that we do not fear US imperialism, and we don’t accept to be ruled by big banks, the military-industrial complex or the Epstein syndicate. Never.” Ávila went on: “We are going to mobilise for the just causes in this world - just as Cuba always did.” The siege of Cuba has seen rolling blackouts since January 2026, when US president Donald Trump blocked the shipment of oil from Venezuela to the island while threatening sanctions against any country that tried to intervene. That culminated in an island-wide blackout last Monday, and another on Saturday. Now, water supplies in some parts of the country have been affected too. Yet the international community has done little to ease the siege of the island. Almost totally reliant on imported oil, the blockade has created an economic and material crisis in Cuba. Food prices have rapidly increased, transport has ground to a halt and tens of thousands of operations have been delayed as Cuba’s hospitals struggle to access medicines and electricity. Also disembarking the flotilla to cheers and singing from the crowd at Havana Harbour was US activist Olivia DiNuccio. Asked about country’s aggression towards Cuba, she said “My own tax dollars go this. The US war machine takes all our money, and yet that money should be given to the people and the planet.
