State Department Brands US Progressives as Cuba Front Groups in New Report
A 100-page State Department report brands Cuba as the ‘capital of 21st-century communism’ and accuses the island of subversion, naming several American activists and groups—including Hasan Piker, Chris Smalls, Isra Hirsi, Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialists of America, and journalist Amy Goodman—as “front groups and fellow travelers” for Havana. The document frames criticism of U.S. policy toward Cuba and solidarity work as evidence of Cuban influence, amid renewed sanctions led by Rubio and ongoing embargo-era pressure. Critics argue the sanctions hurt Cuba’s economy, while Cuba contends the measures prolong hardship, including blackouts blamed on oil disruptions.
