With less than a week left in office, United States President Joe Biden is expected to remove Cuba’s designation as a “state sponsor of terrorism”, according to anonymous sources familiar with his plans.

The Associated Press news agency broke the story on Tuesday, citing US officials. But the move is likely to be a symbolic measure rather than a lasting policy.

    I’m cool with all these meaningless changes at the end by Biden. It’s shit that Trump will be fixated on reversing and will use up time and energy he could be using to cause NEW problems. Instead, we’re just reverting back to how something was before.

    That’s assuming Trump has a limit to how much damage he can cause at once, which doesn’t appear to be the case.

      Let’s just hope he keeps getting distracted and hires incompetent people who can’t manage to do anything right. Maybe we can keep our heads down for another 4 years, and magically come out on top. Ha ha haaa…

        Ugh if this is the best we could even hope for I think I’m gonna tap out early. I felt pretty “give-uppish” after the election and I’m almost getting some hope back lately but I know it’s going to be dashed after next week. I don’t want to do Nazi fucking Germany 2.0. I really don’t. I really feel like I’m too disabled to properly organize either myself or my community, and I don’t know if I trust my support system to get me through this. We’re so fucked.

      Yeah, Trump will reverse it and then democrats can be all up in arms about it. They’ll suddenly start talking about what’s happening in Gaza as well, I bet.
