Dumbest possible take. Cuba can't prohect this kind of power. Even back in the day during the Cuban missike crisis, theur apex of being a US threat, they were just a USSR proxy. Anybody who believes Rubio's take on this is a useful idiot themself.

Perfectly tailgating on @onthemedia.bsky.social, this week’s @revealnews.org dives into the Trump’s family separation horrors leaving kids to fend for themselves as their parents are put into detention camps. revealnews.org/podcast/ice-...

Children are being left behind as ICE detains parents across the country

Six miles from Mar-a-Lago, Guatemalan families are being ripped apart. Kids are left to fend for themselves as ICE detains their parents.

The second part of this week’s show details the utterly immoral and unsafe conditions on Trump’s deportation flights. This depravity of all of this is mind boggling and horribly upsetting.

The way to stop these “pundits” and their toxic BS is to make them part of the story. Open up their lives a sardine can and drag all their skeletons out into the light. It’s the only way to reset the media playing field.

Poll: Americans say “too divided” Pundit: Dems are being too divisive Poll: Legal system unfair Pundit: The public thinks Trump should get away with crimes Poll: Low trust in media Pundits: MSM is too far left Every time they see a nonspecific term and assume everyone thinks like a Republican.
