The U.N. General Assembly called for the 31st time on the United States to end its decades-long trade embargo against Cuba as the communist-run island suffers its worst economic crisis in decades, with shortages of food, fuel and medicine.
I’m not the Secretary of State. But I suppose it has something to do with improved human rights conditions and democratic reforms. The promotion of universal human rights and a person’s right to speak freely, peacefully assemble, and associate, and by supporting the ability of people to freely determine their future. The common stuff. The stuff Russia, Iran and North Korea don’t do. The stuff Cuba is pretty terrible at.
Do you think the Secretary of State—who is facilitating genocide in Gaza as we speak—should be the world’s arbiter of universal human rights? If you look at the UN General Assembly vote on the matter, every year for the last 31 years, you will find that the world almost unanimously disagrees.

Who do you want as the arbiter? Hamas?
The UN should be the arbiter, that was literally the fucking point.
That’s funny.
