As we previously reported there are thousands out in the streets across Cuba, from small towns to big cities, calling for freedom from the Communist government and chanting “we are not afraid!”
People are saying it’s the largest mass protest since 1959. If you know your Cuban history, that’s the last time the government changed hands — when Fidel Castro took power. So, that’s an incredibly significant thing to say. From NY Times:
Carolina Barrero, a Cuban activist, went even further. “It is the most massive popular demonstration to protest the government that we have experienced in Cuba since ’59,”

Along with "anti-government" slogans (per the NY Times) like FREEDOM.

Earlier today they said people were getting shot. Gawd willing, they will be free this time.

Maybe Pelosi could send some Capitol Police down there to shoot some unarmed people and get Communism back on track.

Pray for the Cuban people who are willing to fight for the freedoms that the democrat party in this country is desperately trying to crush. The Cuban people need the country’s support, specifically O’Biden’s which they doubtful will get. Joe knows that China is not going to give up this little gem so close to our shores. It is a strategic base for them to launch all sorts of mischief against us in a time of their choosing and they will not want to give that up. Joe will not challenge them, in fact, he will most likely ignore the cries of Cubans for freedom because Slo Joe knows better than to bite the hand that feeds him.
Democrats are eager to go down the path of communism where they will crush any opposition and elevate any person, corporation or entity that can help them reach their goal. Isn’t it ironic that the democrat party is crushing freedom while the Cuban people are passionately crying out for freedom from a communist government. The United States used to be the cradle of liberty, but apparently the O’Biden regime wants nothing to do with that. Freedom is an anathema to that party. All they desire is the creation of an all powerful centralized state and they mean to achieve it by whatever means possible. Cubans are crying out for freedom and democrats are attempting to crush freedom here which is just heartbreaking on both fronts for totally different reasons. Pray to God that the good guys in both situations will prevail. Freedom is worth fighting for!

Reminds me of the people of Egypt after the Muslim Brotherhood was brought in to rule. Massive protests, millions of citizens in the streets of Cairo and it worked. #5 is correct.

Probably pResident Xiden will lift sanctions on Cuba so the Communists can continue ruling Cuba.

Hey Cuba, let's make a deal. We will let all 12 million of you come to the US and fast track you to citizenship and we'll trade you 12 million of ours who want to live just like you do in Cuba. We got a deal?
You see it isn't about what's on the outside that matters to us, it's the will to be free, to work for it and defend it. I'd rather take stock in the Cuban people than our own candya$$ commies.

Poster #7 is right. But you can do nothing else, you can pray. Even if one is flat on their back, they can still look up. It is mostly God-fearing people who need the reminder to ''be still and know.''

The military will be called to squelch this. IF they join the protesters, it will be all over.
But then, the military might be 'woke'.

This has to be very upsetting to the Squad, especially the American flag! I have a feeling the squad doesn't want to defund the Cuban police.

That should be us right here, right now. What is the matter with Americans? Do we have to experience sixty years of dictatorship from crazy leaders before we take action?

The Cubans are not demonstrating against the Castro Communist Government by itself, they are demonstrating because their beloved Communist government has not provided enough of the free or extremely cheap rationed stuff to meet their needs as is the Communist governments duty to the slave people.

What a weird world this is. Here, the push to communism is in full swing. 90 miles offshore, a citizenry is trying to get rid of it. Cuba, of all places.

Normally it would be time for FB and Twitter to start shutting down accounts but no need because the Cuban government is shutting their whole internet down, just a horse of a different color.

Never forget what 0bama did about the Green Revolution in Iran when the population tried to overthrow the mullahs - NOTHING. If Xiden does anything, it will be to give assistance to the communist regime.
I’m old enough to remember when Cuba was a Caribbean tourism paradise and I keep imagining what Donald Trump could do for Cuba if the people manage to oust the Commies.

One of the first things Fidel did after seizing power was to confiscate all firearms. The success of this insurrection will lie in the hands of the Military. Hopefully they are as sick of Communism as the citizens are.
I don't believe Russia wants to try to support the current regime, but the big question is, what will be Biden's response?

Ahh, it's not about freedom or liberty. It's all about Covid lockdowns. The White House said so... No one would ever want to rebel against a communist paradise. They get free education and healthcare and everything. Why, they can even get free aspirin. Besides, waving the American flag is just racist. It's a symbol of White Supremacy.
Strange how the tides of history flow. While they are demanding liberty and freedom in Cuba, the American left is consolidating their power and taking both from Americans... but like Braveheart said "They can take our lives, but they will never take our freedom." What happens if thousands of Americans, if nothing else many of those Cuban-Americans in Florida, start a boat flotilla to Cuba to help their freedom-loving brethren? Will the Deep State brand them as extremists and traitors and forbid it?

Hong Kong got slapped down and Cuba will be as well. Americans are being slapped down and sooner rather than later the entire earths countries will be complete tyranny.
