The low-level police receive little benefit from the regime as they are only one level from the bottom of the pyramid scheme.

Praying they join this in huge numbers.

@marcorubio

Also know both Russia & China have major signal intelligence facilities inside of #Cuba which are used to intercept and spy on telephone and electronic communications inside the United States.

I warned about this earlier today.

It is happening and will continue.

By the way, they use a system made, sold & installed by #China to control and block access to the internet in #Cuba.

“...We call for calm and condemn any violence...”

That’s more than they said during the Portland riots

"If you thought Jen Psaki was bad, get a load of this one:"

Thanks but try try to provide essential meat of an article in excerpts:

Peaceful protests are growing in #Cuba as the Cuban people exercise their right to peaceful assembly to express concern about rising COVID cases/deaths & medicine shortages. We commend the numerous efforts of the Cuban people mobilizing donations to help neighbors in need. — Julie Chung (@WHAAsstSecty) July 11, 2021

I had a friend from Germany that had met her husband during the war. Her entire family were stuck in east Berlin. When the wall came down she cried and cried, because she had been unable to communicate for so many years.

Statement by President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. on Protests in Cuba

JULY 12, 2021

STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
We stand with the Cuban people and their clarion call for freedom and relief from the tragic grip of the pandemic and from the decades of repression and economic suffering to which they have been subjected by Cuba’s authoritarian regime. The Cuban people are bravely asserting fundamental and universal rights. Those rights, including the right of peaceful protest and the right to freely determine their own future, must be respected. The United States calls on the Cuban regime to hear their people and serve their needs at this vital moment rather than enriching themselves.

Even CNN was a little better:

High prices, food shortages fuel Cuba's biggest anti-government protests in decades July 12, 2021 / 7:21 AM / CBS/AP Havana — Thousands of Cubans marched on Havana's Malecon promenade and elsewhere on the island Sunday to protest food shortages and high prices amid the coronavirus crisis, in one of biggest anti-government demonstrations in memory. Many young people took part in the afternoon protest in the capital, which disrupted traffic until police moved in after several hours and broke up the march when a few protesters threw rocks.

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel appeared on television to condemn the protests, and he called on supporters of the government to take to the streets in response.

"We're calling on all of the revolutionaries in the country, all of the communists, to come out onto the streets and to go to the places where these provocations are going to take place," Díaz-Canel said. "The combat order is given: To the streets, revolutionaries.

His words drew another [obscure] tweet from Chung in the U.S., who said the American government was "deeply concerned by 'calls to combat' in #Cuba."

My favorite quote from this Twitter thread..

Robert J. O'Neill @mchooyah · 17h

It’s easy being a communist in a free country. It sucks being a communist in a communist country.

We join you in your prayers for this to happen:

“The low-level police receive little benefit from the regime as they are only one level from the bottom of the pyramid scheme.”

Praying they join this in huge numbers.

Wishing the best for the Cubans but worry Putin will deploy troops to squash the protesters.

Exactly what will happen if the US government doesn't immediately get behind the Cuban people.

But what is the chance of that?

Many of us remember the events of 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell, and communism was overthrown in country after country in eastern Europe.

And don't forget, the Tiananmen Square Massacre, while unsuccessful in China, served as an inspiration to the people of Eastern Europe. The Massacre, following months of protests in Beijing and other Chinese cities, culminated on June 4, 1989. The Iron Curtain between Hungary and Austria opened on August 19, 1989 followed by the Fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989. Many of the histories of 1989 neglect to mention the Tiananmen Square Massacre as a catalyst (for some reason).
