Real activism is showing up to vote blue no matter who every other year in a deep blue district in a deep blue state
I'm so ready to vote! I'd vote twice right now if I could!
Fraudulently voting twice in a state than already goes 70% Dem every election.
If you're not willing to put it all on the line for democracy, I don't know what to tell you, kiddo. Let the adults do the strategizing.

I wonder if the person who told me that the recent DSA delegation to Cuba, where they brought material aid, was "Just a field trip" feels the same way about this.
Breaking an Imperialist blockade is more important than libdunking online, folks.
All the "problematic" leftist internet figures keep putting their money where their mouth is. Maybe there was something to this Dirtbag Left thing.
Hasan's "problematic" aspect was never really the same as a lot of others. Sometimes he does get a bit libbed up, and into the electoral spectacle of it all, but he is a news commentator. He's a got a bit of that electoral horse race special interest in him, and a bit of good natured nativity. I think some of that has stripped away over time, as he's more and more hit with the grim reality of how static the system is.
But he's always been pushing an internationalist message towards the audience, about AES and US imperialism. Drip-feeding theory and challenging some of the popular misconceptions of revolutionary figures. It's not always to the same degree as what you'd see here, but he is a propagandist. The message isn't oriented directly at people who are already communists.
So to seem him do such a big action in support of Cuba isn't surprising at all to me in the ideological sense. Though it is of course a big move in real practical terms, and I'm surprised (and happy) in that regard.
He's a got a bit of that electoral horse race special interest in him, and a bit of good natured nativity.
I always have to remind myself that he got started as the TYT nepo nephew, and that let's me be a bit more generous to him. He was probably the last person on that show that I imagined I would have any respect for in 10 years, but he's generally proved to be a real one (despite issues).
I've always felt he tries to push people to the left of his public position
He's been quoting Lenin too much to be a social democrat

Well not all of them, where tf is Nick Mullen?
Nick did endorse Zohran for what that's worth.
Also I think he's been pretty consistently pro-Palestine.
i was listening to TAFS maybe 2 years ago and it was just nick and somebody like soder, just having this like mentally checked out conversation about how fucked up what israel was doing to gazans.
and soder was like, "so like, Hamas, aren't they the good guys?"
and nick says, "I don't know. probably. i don't pay much attention to all that stuff. I'm more of a Hezbollah guy anyway."
i laughed so hard i almost crashed the car.
"I don't know. probably. i don't pay much attention to all that stuff. I'm more of a Hezbollah guy anyway."
Gonna make this my response whenever people ask me to condemn Hamas
"They're no PFLP but you can't argue with their love for the game."
I don't think Mullen would self-identify as dirtbag left, he'd probably dislike it. So, let's keep calling him one
Hopefully cutting wood in a cabin in the mountains like he deserves.
I knew there would be tweets like these.
Ultras 🤝 Wreckers 🤝 Liberals 🤝 Fascists
Bulwarks of the Status Quo

Muy bien 
Uncritical support
Turkish man good 
I might have some criticisms of Hasan but this is based as hell. Dirtbag left stays winning.
More of a legal question than anything but if he and any other US citizens take part in this would it constitute a violation of the US embargo of Cuba and put them at risk of imprisonment?
These flotillas are by definition illegal. They are attempts to run the blockade with civilians

The US doesn't have functional rule of law anymore, but yes, this does constitute a violation of the embargo. That's the point, actually. Most non-violent resistance that deserves to be called resistance is, in fact, completely centered around breaking unjust laws and publicly enduring the consequences of that to expose the injustice.
Isn't humanitarian aid exempt from such an embargo? This is why the Sumud Flotilla was legal, under international law (obviously won't stop the ICEraeli regime will seize the vessels anyway every time)
In the case of this embargo, humanitarian aid is not illegal, but needs to be authorized by the respective US federal government authority. Which they are not gonna do in this case obviously.
With embargos in general, it depends on the case - unilateral sanctions by the US are particularly bad at causing civilian deaths due to being specifically aimed at worsening living conditions under the pretense of facilitating regime change. This is why the sanctions against Iraq killed about as many people as the invasion under Bush jr. The same kind of massive excess mortality could never been shown for multilateral UN sanctions, which are much, much more limited in scope. Basically, the US (and to some degree the EU) treats sanctions as a means of geopolitical social murder, whereas the rest of the world doesn't.
