While the Armchair Communist Club was out parading in Tompkins Square Park in New York City with all their pretty flags and stuff...
COMMUNISTS WAVED HAMMER AND SICKLE FLAGS IN A NEW YORK CITY PARK THIS AFTERNOON TO CHEER ON CUBA. A group calling itself the Revolutionary Communists of America rallied in Tompkins Square Park like it was Havana. Cuba is a country where people risk their lives on homemade rafts just to escape, and these clowns are holding a pep rally for it. The hammer and sickle stands for a system that killed tens of millions of people, and they're waving it proudly in America. Ask any Cuban family in Miami what communism did to them, and they'll tell you the truth these kids refuse to hear. New York is already flirting with socialism at the top, so don't act surprised when the actual communists start showing up in the open. This is exactly why the midterms matter, so vote like your freedom depends on it. https://t.co/o0LBT7meHi

...the officers at the Border Patrol and Department of Homeland Security were busy poking around Port Everglades in Florida, and in Houston as well, and lookee lookee what they found!
90 shipments of sanctioned oil bound for Cuba!
So sneaky.
Someone ran the math, and it turns out to be almost $3 million's worth of biodiesel at a time when diesel is pretty precious all over the world.
The Cuban government isn't supposed to be getting any, as we all remember.
U.S. officials announced they’ve stopped multiple shipments of fuel headed to Cuba.
Federal agents said Wednesday morning that they have seized 90 shipments of biodiesel fuel worth $2.8 million that was on its way to Cuba illegally.
Homeland Security Investigations said the fuel was bound for Enetec S.A., an entity that authorities said is used by the Cuban government.
“Enetec was designated pursuant to Executive Order 14404 for posing a direct threat to [United States] national security and foreign policy interests,” said Jose R. Figueroa, Special Agent in Charge of HSI Miami.
According to authorities, 71 shipments containing around 496,000 gallons of biodiesel were seized at Port Everglades. Another 19 shipments that contained about 119,000 gallons were detained at Port of Houston.
Federal agents said the shipments violated U.S. export laws and sanctions, and that the enforcement action is part of a broader effort to prevent good from reaching sanctioned entities in Cuba.
SEIZED: 90 FUEL SHIPMENTS BOUND FOR CUBA @HSI_Miami and our federal partners stopped millions of dollars in fuel from reaching a sanctioned Cuban entity. If you attempt to evade U.S. sanctions, you will face the consequences. https://t.co/43BgDgYni4

Our Secretary of State had to explain to a reporter during a presser this afternoon that 'sanctions iz sanctions.'
THE CUBAN REVOLUTION HAS FAILED
🚨 BREAKING: The Trump administration just INTERCEPTED 90 shipments of biodiesel headed for Cuba, worth nearly $3 MILLION! 🇺🇸 Authorities seized roughly 620,000 gallons at Port Everglades and the Port of Houston after determining the fuel was headed to a Cuban company sanctioned by the U.S. This comes as the Trump administration tightens enforcement against Cuba’s sanctioned energy sector. The message from Washington is clear: sanctions will be enforced. https://t.co/GzN9IgjH4b

It was almost three weeks ago that the island suffered a total blackout.
Cuba faces another nationwide blackout amid US fuel blockade
Cuba's power grid suffered a total collapse on Friday, triggering another nationwide blackout and leaving millions without electricity as the island grapples with an ongoing US fuel blockade.
"A total disconnection of the electrical system has occurred," the Energy Ministry posted on X, as only 5% of Havana had electricity.
State-run utility UNE blamed a failure in transmission lines and unstable weather for the nationwide blackout — the 7th this year and the 12th since late 2024 — as fuel shortages and deteriorating infrastructure take their toll.
"It's one thing after another: no water, no gas for cooking, no electricity," 36-year-old Lidia Fernandez told the AFP news agency. "Honestly, I don't know how we haven't gone crazy."
And as much as the government blames aging wires, which is entirely true, it's the lack of the cheap fuel the Castro regime was used to getting from Venezuela, Mexico, and others that kept the lights on and the population under control.
...Cuba's aging power plants rely heavily on imported fuel, which has become increasingly scarce amid US restrictions imposed in January.
US President Donald Trump's administration tightened sanctions and enacted an oil embargo, choking the Caribbean country from importing fuel and replacement parts required to maintain infrastructure.
Havana blames US sanctions for worsening shortages, while Washington claims the outages reflect failures of the country's state-run economic model.
The Trump administration's regime squeeze is on, constant, and increasing.
And the Cuban communist dictatorship is out of sugar daddies.
