NEW: Cubans have faced decades of U.S.-imposed deprivation, organizing and helping each other get by. Instead of threatening Cubans, the U.S. should learn from them. Elena Gutiérrez of @globalexchange.bsky.social in @fpif.bsky.social:

Cubans have lived through decades of U.S.-imposed deprivation. People in the U.S. now experiencing it themselves could learn from the resilience of their neighbors.

The same guns are killing us all. From ICE violence in U.S. communities to military harm abroad, firearms made and exported by the U.S continue to devastate lives across borders. Gun violence is a public health & human rights crisis. Open letter: globalexchange.org/sameguns/

This violence is not inevitable — it is funded. ICE raids, surveillance, and killings are the result of policy choices. Tell Congress: No funding for DHS. Stand with communities. Support mutual aid. Send a letter today: bit.ly/EndIceViolence #StopICETerror #Minneapolis #stopstateviolence
