“This is not simply a blockade. This is an act of war.” Illinois Rep. Jonathan Jackson demanded an end to the US blockade on Cuba in a press conference on Tuesday. Jackson condemned the severe medicine shortages caused by the blockade, as well as the lack of fuel Cuban hospitals faced, which has forced doctors to use flashlights on their phones to perform surgery. The press conference was organized by National Nurses United, the country’s largest union of registered nurses.

The truth about Cuba doesn’t change just because some choose to ignore it. In a heated exchange with Rep. Jonathan Jackson, fresh off his trip to the island, it’s clear he drank the regime’s Kool-Aid. The Cuban dictatorship is not in the business of feeding its people, it’s in the business of power. Stop defending the oppressors. Stand with the Cuban people.

Unbelievable. Rep. Jonathan Jackson of Illinois cites lowering the flags in DC to half mast for Charlie as part of the “toxic environment” of DC: "There's a very toxic climate in Washington, D.C., the same Washington, D.C. that would lower the flag for Charlie Kirk, that says the 1964 Civil Rights Act was a mistake." This ignorant fool knows NOTHING about what Charlie actually believed. Charlie said the INTENT of the Civil Rights Act was NOBLE, but the execution of it was wrong. Why? Because it created a giant extra-constitutional bureaucratic leviathan that has been abused, for example, to justify men in women’s bathrooms and locker rooms. Rep. Jackson is Exhibit A of the REAL problem with toxic Washington. Ignorant politicians spend more time on social media algorithms designed to lie to them and confirm their biases rather than getting the truth. He’s willing to vilify a martyr without knowing anything about him. It’s these kinds of lies and vilification of Charlie that led to his assassination. Who else are you willing to lie about so some madman grabs a gun to silence? Rep. Jonathan L. Jackson, how about the name Charlie Kirk never leave your mouth again? How about you apologize for contributing to the toxicity you claim to abhor. Absolutely shameful.

SCOTUS is literally deciding whether to do away with the Voting Rights Act. We need a democracy movement and to speak out at No Kings this weekend. We also need to pass the constitutional amendment that Rep. Jonathan L. Jackson and I are introducing to guarantee the right to vote, banning vote dilution.
