"I talked to people on the street who blame the Cuban government for the crisis and openly say they can’t wait for the fall of communism. Young people told me that their goal is to leave the island and live somewhere they can make a decent living. But I didn’t meet a single person who supported the blockade or a U.S. invasion"

Last Saturday 300,000 people defied #climatebreakdown & extreme heat (33⁰c) in #London to march for #Palestine. This monthly national #protest brings coaches from all over the #UK. I met a gentleman who'd left Leicester at 6am.
MANY visual references to #Irish band #Kneecap as singer Mo Chara had just appeared at Westminster court for #terrorism charges. Also many people from #Iran after #Israel bombed them as diversion tactics from their genocidal #blocade on #Gaza.

Thirteen weeks have passed since the last break, since the last resupply. Then came Europe.

Any other trace got dissolved with greater or lesser difficulty under the hot water. The invisible marks are the ones that have the greatest impact though.
