Cuba is out of fuel, strangled by the US fuel chokehold.

People are dying, systems are breaking down.

This is collective punishment against a people who have done absolutely nothing except live their lives under hard conditions imposed by the US blockade for decades.

It’s a blatant violation of international law, a crime in progress.

Canadians are connected to Cuba: we’ve been welcomed, had great holidays, heard incredible music, done business and made friends.

We need to help Cuba right now, even if it bothers Trump:
Canada should send immediate humanitarian fuel aid, in as much quantity as we can quickly assemble.

And we should be speaking out loudly on the international stage: US military action against Cuba is absolutely unacceptable!

It’s time for the countries of the world to rally and stop this impunity before it takes another sovereign country into chaos.

We have to come to Cuba's aid. What's happening is too cruel, too horrible.

The Crucial Years
Daily reminder that there are tons of lovely, brilliant, kind Jewish people in the world who aren’t Zionist - the two things have next to nothing to do with one another - and that even as a simple nerd I can make an effort to boycott and refuse to amplify Israeli cybersecurity software and tools.

A routine reminder that it's always a good idea to boycott #Substack.

We have long known that it platforms and profits from Nazi publications. And now: #manosphere influencers with multiple accusations of serious crimes... so much so that there is a dedicated Wikipedia page about them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_affairs_of_the_Tate_brothers

No problem for #Substack though! They happily take a 10% cut from all paid subscriptions.

There are many great alternatives to SS: Ghost, Buttondown, beehiiv, Patreon... no more excuses

This man must never become president.

REMINDER: This is not an ENERGY crisis but a FOSSIL FUEL dependency crisis.

Modern energy systems based on renewables are absolutely possible. Don’t let oil execs and autocrats tell you otherwise.

A decentralised energy system based on wind and solar is far less vulnerable to war, blockades and oil shocks than one built around fossil fuels.
