Some of my fav political creators are getting questioned by Feds seeking info on their activism, beliefs and goals. They’re making lists of people to try to intimidate
“First they came for the communists, but I did not care for I was not a communist.”
It’s ironic how people fled Europe for the US to escape fascism because of what’s going on today.

Might be a W since they’ll be exposed to a more mainstream audience, though Hasan isn’t even communist.

Hasan Piker just got subpoenaed over his trip to Cuba because it potentially violated U.S. sanctions and laws by “supporting the Cuban regime.”
Medea Benjamin got subpoenaed for the same reason

I mean he did go to Cuba to support the regime and did violate sanctions, but I don’t support sanctioning Cuba or restricting people from going there so I get your point

Please tell me that you’re not doing leftist purity tests for the victims of the Holocaust and Nazi persecution. I can promise that specific ideological leanings mattered less in death camps.

He said it was a legal, licensed humanitarian aid trip, they said they submitted all the financial documents ahead of time, but I guess we’ll see, I just don’t think it’s entirely unlikely this is simply political lawfare rather than legitimate sanctions violations

I mean tbf George Santos said his parents died in 9/11 when his mom was practically in the green room, it matters where the documents are and whether he did stuff there that violated those

this is a false equivalency, Santos defrauded the public by fabricating massive personal tragedies for political gain, in contrast investigating journalists and activists for delivering medical aid to Cuba relies on broad politically weaponized sanctions to criminalize dissent

Using federal agencies like the Treasury y OFAC to issue Requests for Information over humanitarian and advocacy missions is a classic tactic used by this administration to intimidate, drain the resources of, and manufacture pretext against dissenting media figures
