Let’s see how Bernie Sanders, AOC, Tlaib, and Omar respond to the freedom rallies being held by the people of Cuba, who are protesting against the ideology that they want to implement in America. Pray for the Cuban people.

Cubans in over 32 cities protested in retaliation to the communist regime chanting “Freedom! “Down with Communism!” and “Patria y Vida” (Homeland and Life) in a live Facebook video. The demonstrators demanded access to food, medicine, vaccines and the end to communism amid a massive COVID-19 outbreak (Daily Caller). From CNN International Corresponded and Havana Bureau Chief Patrick Oppmann: I have lived in Cuba for nine years and the scenes we saw today were stunning. The protests spread more quickly than anyone could have imagined. I don’t know what tomorrow will bring but the level of discontent and anger isn’t going anywhere (Twitter). From Wall Street Journal Latin America Correspondent Jose de Cordoba: Cubans always talk about the “doble cara” – hiding your true feelings and thoughts because of the fear that comes with living in a police state. This is what happens when a people take off their masks (Twitter). White House press secretary Jen Psaki said it’s not about freedom (RedState). As of late last night, Socialist Bernie Sanders, who heaped high praise on the government of Cuba, was silent (Fox News). From Katie Pavlich last night: Nothing from the @WhiteHouse, @JoeBiden or @SecBlinken on Cuba. Telling (Twitter). From Erielle Davidson: Biden WH predictably out to lunch as Cuba erupts in protest against its socialist government while waving the American flag (Twitter). From Marco Rubio: Frustration with the dictatorships incompetence,greed & repression is mounting rapidly (Twitter). From Dan McLaughlin: … one hopes that the Cuban regime can & will fall to the Cuban people, if not now, soon. And we should do whatever we can to help that along. Cuba Libre (Twitter).

Massive Protests Erupt In Cuba As Citizens Demand End To Communist Dictatorship: ‘We Want Freedom!’
By Daily Wire, July 11, 2021
Massive protests erupted on Sunday in Cuba as citizens of the island nation demanded an end to the communist dictatorship as they suffer in poverty while having limited freedom.
“In a country known for repressive crackdowns on dissent, the rallies were widely viewed as astonishing,” The New York Times reported. “Activists and analysts called it the first time that so many people had openly protested against the Communist government since the so-called Maleconazo uprising, which exploded in the summer of 1994 into a huge wave of Cubans leaving the country by sea.”
The report noted that numerous videos that were posted online that showed the protests had “suddenly disappeared.” “The people are dying of hunger!” one woman shouted during a protest highlighted by The Times, “Our children are dying of hunger!” Other chants included “We want freedom” and “We want vaccines.”
“Never seen images from #Havana,” Alexandre Krauss, Senior Advisor EU Parliament, tweeted. “Thousands are mobilizing across #Cuba demanding the end of the communist dictatorship while screaming ‘we are not afraid…we are not afraid.’”

This gives me chills.
Thousands of Cubans are marching on Havana’s malecón chanting “¡Libertad!” (“Freedom!).
This comes as the island’s communist ruler just went on national television and issued a “combat order,” according to reports. #SOSCuba

“I have been covering Cuba since the 1994 rafter crisis,” New York Times reporter Frances Robles tweeted. “I have never ever seen anything like the protests today.”
The AP reported:
Police initially trailed behind as protesters chanted “Freedom,” “Enough” and “Unite.” One motorcyclist pulled out a U.S. flag, but it was snatched from him by others. … Cuba is going through its worst economic crisis in decades, along with a resurgence of coronavirus cases.
The demonstration grew to a few thousand in the vicinity of Galeano Avenue and the marchers pressed on despite a few charges by police officers and tear gas barrages. People standing on many balconies along the central artery in the Centro Habana neighborhood applauded the protesters passing by. Others joined in the march.
“We are fed up with the queues, the shortage,” one protester told the AP. “That’s why I’m here.”
