Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

“We are sailing to Cuba, bringing critical humanitarian aid for its people,” the flotilla organizers said on their website. “The Trump administration is strangling the island, cutting off fuel, flights, and critical supplies for survival. The consequences are lethal, for newborns and parents, for the elderly and the sick.”

“That is why we are launching the Nuestra América Flotilla, setting sail from across the Caribbean Sea in solidarity with the Cuban people,” the organizers continued. “And we are asking for your support, to help us prepare the mission and purchase the food and medicine that we will bring to the Cuban people.”

You can tell the White House but the White House doesn't care. All they see are hotels, resorts, and dollar signs..

"Drug boats sunk off Cuban coast delivering Krocodil laced Fentanyl manufactured by Claudia Sheinbaum in her state owned factories in Columbia." NYT Article from March 2026

These flotillas never deliver anything, it's a way to get rubes to fund rich brats yacht holidays through performative art.

Among organizers, I see CodePink, those whose definition of peace is to disarm a country being invaded. Once the Cubans grow more strength to protect themselves against imperialism (any camp), folks like these will be quick to throw them under the bus.
