As the US maintains over 6 decades of economic warfare [...] on Cuba

This deserves emphasis. The Cuban people have shown remarkable resilience in the face of economic sanctions first started by president John F Kennedy in fucking 1962. While Republicans are the face of white nationalist fascism, let's not forget how establishment Democrats, continuing to support the status quo, lead us to this point in history.

The same could be said about ICE, Guantanamo Bay, mass government surveillance, police militarization, the Pentagon budget, support for Israel, and the list goes on.
