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.

A Japanese artist made the print DHS lifted to spread anti-immigrant hate. Can't make this up.

Screenshot of a post by Alex Luck criticizing others while showing an auction listing for a painting. The image displays a beach scene artwork featuring palm trees, a pinkish car, ocean waves, and a bright blue sky. Below the artwork is text identifying the artist as Hiroshi Nagai and describing the piece. Beneath that, a quoted post from the Department of Homeland Security repeats the phrase, “The peace of a nation no longer besieged by the third world.”

This has been true since Trump’s firing of many career DOJ officials, but is now is terminally true: ANYONE who stays on in their jobs at DOJ after this is not just complicit, but a co-conspirator in Trump’s lawlessness. Everyone needs to resign. Today.
