![NEW | The Trump administration is debating a plan to use U.S. naval power to cut Cuba off from foreign oil, aimed at forcing regime change, Politico reports, citing three people familiar with the plan.
“Energy is the chokehold to kill the regime,” one person involved said. Backed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the proposal is under internal debate. No final decision has been made.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum reaffirmed Wednesday that her country will continue sending oil to Cuba despite pressures tied to a US blockade, underscoring the move as “an act of solidarity” with the Cuban people.
“If Mexico can help create better conditions for Cuba, we will always be there,” she said, characterizing the relationship as one with the Cuban people during “very difficult circumstances.” […] “When there is an extreme blockade, people are living through hardship, so Mexico has always been supportive,” she said, adding that fuel shipments have been carried out through contracts and as humanitarian aid.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:avtgggryiqtjlg5wwsufccua/bafkreifyayakeniob3cuw3wvzydxoiho6wlrlfd3thbv7dlqkjjnvafyay@jpeg)

Graham Linehan proves the point that trans liberationists have been saying from the start:
If you'll permit dehumanising and stripping the rights of trans people, you will dehumanise and strip the rights of anyone on a long enough timeline.

This is exactly the same playbook Graham Linehan uses against trans people, where defending trans rights is cast as defending "rape" and "paedophilia." He uses "rape" and "paedophilia" as punchlines, and, therefore, all of his hate speech and advocation for violence against his enemies is justified.

Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE.
They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon.
They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times.
He bragged to other agents “five shots, 7 holes”.
