Sect of state Marco Rubio confirms Cuba is next on the list of governments the Trump regime is planning to overthrow. This is empire. This is modern day colonialism.
Regime change in Afghanistan to remove the Taliban resulted in the return of the Taliban
Regime change in Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein resulted in the rise of Daesh (ISIS)
Regime change in Libya to remove Ghadaffi resulted in chaos and a decade plus of civil war
Each showed images of locals celebrating. Each ended in tragedy.
Violent regime change does not work. It never has. Because it is driven by oil and profit, not people and principles.
I was in NYC yesterday. Mamdani is mayor. The city was still hella packed.
Updated Headline: Facts show 2.12 million residents of NYC threw a childish tantrum at the idea of a more affordable city, but aren't going anywhere, except convicted felon George Santos
Guess what? If you supported the alcoholic Fox News pundit to become Secretary of Defense, the anti-vaccine sexual abuser to become Secretary of HHS, the PDFile protector to become AG, and the WWE actor to become Secretary of Education, you get to have zero opinions on anyone Zohran Mamdani has appointed to his Mayoral cabinet.
As a human rights lawyer, let me state Mayor Mamdani is right to reject the IHRA definition of antisemitism because it equates criticism of Israel with antisemitism.
Jewish people have rights—hatred of Jewish people is antisemitic.
States don't have rights—criticism of states is NOT antisemitic.
Ken Stern—who drafted the IHRA definition—developed it to guide research and law enforcement data validation, NOT to use as, "a blunt instrument to label anyone an antisemite.” (his words)

I traveled to NYC to attend Mayor Mamdani's historic inauguration. Zohran is launching his term as a fearless leader committed to working people, and who is unapologetic about his values.
Yet today also revealed a lurking danger that we cannot afford to ignore. My full report on the inauguration of NYC’s first Muslim mayor:
DAY 1 of Muslim Mayor Mamdani
Just landed in NYC
“Shariah Here” signs are everywhere. They’re spelling it “Shwarma” but we all know what it means.
I’m saying Asalaamo Alaikum to everyone I meet.
I have a beard suddenly
My wife is wearing a hijab
GRANTED—all these things were true even before Mamdani was mayor but how do we Know it’s not due to Shwarma Law????
I’m suddenly so very hungry.
BREAKING: Zohran Kwame Mamdani has officially been sworn in as mayor of New York City, making history as NYC’s first Muslim and first South Asian Mayor. And yes he took his oath with his hand on a stack of Quran’s. ❤️
Let’s go! ✊🏽
Trump: I am for America First!
Can we get healthcare?
Trump: No
Fund SNAP so kids don't starve?
Trump: No
Rid exploitative student loans?
Trump: No
Stop Tariffs so our farmers don't go bankrupt?
Trump: No
Tax billionaires even a tiny bit to fund social benefit programs?
Trump: No
Make the 30+ fraudsters you pardoned pay their billions in restitution? Trump: No
Then HOW is any of this America First?
Trump: I'm sending Israel $8.6B for fighter jets to bomb working people in Palestine
“Since the ceasefire and hostage deal came into effect on 10 October, at least 401 Palestinians have been killed and 1,108 injured. At least 1,500 structures have been destroyed. Over 11,000 people remain unaccounted for.”
—Israeli Human Rights Org Breaking the Silence
It was never about the hostages.
