The news just keeps getting more disgusting from the Sandalista Spring Break crowd, descending on Cuba to show 'solidarity' as President Trump halts its "free" oil from Venezuela, and creating a boatload of misery for Cuba's socialism-impoverished locals.
It wasn't just gawking at people's poverty from state safari-style tour buses while singing 'Guantamanera' at them, which I wrote about here.

"This is how the foreign communists visiting Cuba get around...like they're on a safari through a theme park. Then they ask us to resist in the name of their criminal ideology. They're all immoral."
It wasn't just the chants of 'this is what democracy looks like' in one of the world's most oppressive hellholes, a place where literally millions have fled through shark-infested waters in flimsy homemade boats.
Or offering them cringe 'art hour' graffiti 'murals' celebrating socialism, as if any of them had asked:
SNIP
It was staying at a five-star hotel and literally hogging all the electricity in the socialist-mismanaged country, blowing out the dilapidated electrical grid with their first-world 'needs' which left the rest of the island in the dark.

Country Summary: Petty crime is a risk for travelers in Cuba. This includes pick pocketing, purse snatchings, and car break-ins. Violent crime, including armed robbery and homicide, is also on the rise in Cuba.
U.S. law and regulation prohibit travel to, from, or within Cuba for tourist activities. OFAC regulates travel to, from, and within Cuba by persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction, defined to include, among other things, all U.S. citizens or residents (wherever located) and anyone in the United States, regardless of their citizenship and nationality. Failure by a person subject to U.S. jurisdiction to act consistently with the regulations may result in penalties and criminal prosecution. Travel to Cuba without an OFAC license is illegal.
Cuba's electrical supply is unreliable. Since October 2024, there have been several prolonged nationwide power outages. Scheduled and unscheduled power cuts lasting up to 12 hours occur daily in Havana, and even longer outside the capital. Some large businesses, hotels, hospitals, and institutions use generators during power outages. However, they may have trouble keeping the generators running during a long outage due to the inconsistent and scarce availability of fuel.
U.S. citizens in Cuba or those planning to visit should check local news often to stay up to date. In Cuba, peaceful assembly and freedom of speech are not protected rights. U.S. citizens should avoid protests or demonstrations.
U.S. Embassy employees must follow a special notification process with the Government of Cuba to travel outside of Havana. This process can impact the embassy's ability to help U.S. citizens in Cuba during emergencies.
If a person subject to U.S. jurisdiction travels to Cuba consistent with 1 of the 12 travel categories authorized by a general OFAC license, the person would not need to apply for a specific OFAC license for the travel transactions. For non-tourist travel that is not otherwise covered by a general license, a person subject to U.S. jurisdiction must seek a specific license from OFAC to authorize the travel. For travel questions, check 31 C.F.R. 515.560 and OFAC’s Frequently Asked Questions.
All involved in this should be denied reentry to the US.
Ahh, the bitch in the ditch. There’s a name I haven’t thought of in a long time.
I looked to see if she ever became relevant. She did not.

Msybe their visit will get the average Cubans into the streets and finally get rid of the communists. What a great result to their visits that would be.
Yes - it is Medea Benjamin and her cohorts - MTG's friends.
And they are actually chanting about democracy in a communist dictatorship with one party rule.
Code Pink chants “This is what democracy looks like!” in the streets of Cuba, an authoritarian country that explicitly bans all political parties outside of the Communist Party of Cuba.
Hmmm...
INTELLECTUAL (in-tuh-LEK-chu-el): An individual educated beyond his intelligence who, being unable or unwilling to create or provide anything of value to others, hides out in a college, university or think-tank and pontificates, expecting to be paid for it, usually from public funds.
Treating people like a carnival side show.
Disgusting.
