Hundreds of tone-deaf lefty radicals flocked into Havana this weekend to meet with Communist Party officials — staying in luxury hotels and traveling in air-conditioned buses — as the rest of the island grapples with a worsening economic crisis that’s starved it of electricity, food, water and medicine.
The “Nuestra America Convoy” sent socialists from North America and Europe to Cuba by air, sea, and land, under the guise of handing out 20 tons of humanitarian aid to protest the United States oil blockade on Cuba.
The convoy includes Mayor Zohran Mamdani ally and influential streamer Hasan Piker – who recently went on a Beijing-sponsored propaganda trip – to Havana, from where he broadcast to his 1.6 million Instagram followers Saturday with a somehow spotless internet connection and promised to film “content.”
Isra Hirsi, the 23-year-old unemployed activist daughter of embattled “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn), is also taking part in the voyage — as is a delegation of Mamdani’s Democratic Socialists of America comrades.
The convoy also includes groups identified by the US State Department as vectors of Chinese influence – like Neville Roy Singham’s People’s Forum and his wife’s, Jodie Evans’ Code Pink. Evans was all smiles as she posed for a picture with Piker Saturday, wearing a pink keffiyeh.
Some delegates were reportedly staying at the 5-star Gran Hotel Bristol Meliá Collection, where a room costs between $130 and $520 a night.
Others posed for pictures riding in comfy air-conditioned buses, and meeting with President Miguel Díaz‑Canel at the Palacio de Convenciones in Havana.
Cuban officials reported an island-wide blackout this week in the embattled communist nation of some 11 million people, after President Trump in January threatened tariffs on any nation selling it oil, effectively choking off its energy supply.
“While nearly the entire country is suffering from power outages lasting over 20 hours, the left is welcomed with air conditioning and wasteful electricity consumption,” slammed Mayra Dominguez, a Cuban living in exile in the US.
“More than 100 homes wouldn’t be without power today if the Castro regime didn’t spend on communist propaganda with the international left,” Dominguez said.

The convoy has enraged Cuban exiles who are barred by the ruling communist party from ever returning home, and say the government is also to blame for the hardships people have faced for decades.

Cuba’s president said the island had not received oil shipments in more than three months since.
Commentary:
"Vacationing in other people's misery"...I remember reading that, somewhere. Elite leftists virtue signaling at it's finest. The lack of self-awareness and expected privilege would be shocking, if it weren't their stock-in-trade.
Code Pink is in reality Code Commie Red... The organization has been linked to Chinese Communist Party influence, with reports suggesting that it may be funded by them.
There is no lowest depth to the depravity of the ‘upper class’ Leftist elitist loons.
Democrat Leftists think communism is Nirvana, but all of the leftists going to Cuba have lived gluttonous lives, never missed meals or stood in food lines. Their virtue signaling exposes how out of touch they're with reality. They are useful tools for the Castro regime propaganda machine. I saw some posts where they are getting called out for the fancy hotel stays and they are saying the Trump admin is forcing them to stay there. I am pretty sure Trump doesn't give 2 poos where they are staying.
