Cuban American pop sensation Camila Cabello is being met with vicious attacks from leftists for using her social media to shine a light on the devastating humanitarian crisis gripping Cuba under its long-standing communist regime.

Cabello, who was born in Havana and immigrated to the United States with her family when she was seven, shared a series of photos from her childhood, including images of her in the communist “young pioneer” uniform, a symbol of the regime’s indoctrination efforts.

The singer also posted images of collapsed buildings and desperate Cubans rummaging through dumpsters for food.

In her caption, Cabello didn’t mince words about the “67 years of a failing dictatorship and an oppressive regime.”

“The Cuban people are suffering in an echo chamber where no one can hear them because to speak is to risk your life,” she wrote.

Cabello continued, “Many people are starving, looking for food in trash heaps, and the only way to survive is having relatives ship you boxes of medicine because not even the hospitals have medicine. The power is gone for so long that food spoils and water becomes scarce… The Cuban people have lived without dignity and without hope for too long. It’s no wonder so many Cubans have thrown themselves into shark-infested waters, making boats out of tires and sticks and risking their lives for freedom.”

The star encouraged her followers to support Caritas Cuba, a humanitarian organization providing aid to those in need.

The post read in full:

There is so much going on here at home and so much I can say about the heartbreaking things the immigrant community is experiencing here in the US. I also feel a personal responsibility to speak about what’s happening in Cuba, I still have family on the island that we speak to and send medicine, food and clothes to.

It has been 67 years of a failing dictatorship and an oppressive regime. The Cuban people are suffering in an echo chamber where no one can hear them because to speak is to risk your life. Many people are starving, looking for food in trash heaps, and the only way to survive is having relatives ship you boxes of medicine because not even the hospitals have medicine.

The power is gone for so long that food spoils and water becomes scarce . When people have peacefully protested, they have disappeared or been put behind bars, some as young as 13 years old. This is a reality where a post online costs you your life. The Cuban people have lived without dignity and without hope for too long. It’s no wonder so many Cubans have thrown themselves into shark infested waters, making boats out of tires and sticks and risking their lives for freedom.

They are now in the midst of a profound humanitarian crisis. If you want to help and don’t know how, check the link in my story to support Caritas Cuba and their work. If you’re able to give, any donation makes a difference.

thank u so much love you guys

The response from the left was swift and brutal.

On platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and Reddit, pro-communist users hurled insults at Cabello, labeling her post “disgusting” and accusing her of being a sellout.

Some called her a “gusana,” a derogatory term meaning “maggot” that Fidel Castro used for anti-communists.

Critics demanded she blame the U.S. “embargo” instead of the regime, ignoring the fact that America has long allowed shipments of food, medicine, and other essentials to Cuba.

One commenter fumed, “We’re literally causing all of this it’s not because of communism… educate yourself on your own country.” Another wrote, “The blame is almost entirely at the hands of the United States yet she blames Cuba’s government? Disgusting.”

High-profile leftist streamer Hasan Piker joined the pile-on during a livestream, mispronouncing her name and declaring her words “disgusting” for supposedly defending America’s “unimaginable and unyielding cruelty.”

Reddit threads were filled with similar vitriol, with users dismissing her as “ignorant” and her views as a “MAGA take” or “white-washed stupid-ass take.” Some even accused her hit song “Havana” of cultural appropriation, despite Cabello being born and raised in Cuba until her family fled.

However, many Cuban and Venezuelan users praised Cabello for her courage.

Cuban rapper Yotuel called her “little sister” and thanked her, while others expressed solidarity with cries of “Free Cuba, Nicaragua, Iran, and Venezuela.” Spanish-language responses flooded in with messages like “We love you so much Camilita” and “Finally someone famous and coherent.”

This isn’t the first time Cabello has spoken out against the regime, Breitbart News noted.

In 2021, amid massive protests in Cuba, she lamented the “62 years” of oppression that turned promises of free healthcare and education into a nightmare where even doctors can’t afford basic staples.

“For 62 years, Cuban people have been living under oppression,” Cabello said during the protests. “What started out as a socialist ideal of free healthcare, free education and food for all turned into present-day Cuban people have to wait hours in line at the grocery store to come in and find that basic staples like beans and rice are ten times more than what the average even medical doctor in Cuba can afford.”

Kamala Harris reacted to President Trump’s State of the Union Address on Wednesday, calling it “full of lies” and comparing it to a child’s show-and-tell.  

During an interview with left-wing podcaster Aaron Parnas, Harris bizarrely said Trump’s speech reminded her of “kids going to show and tell at school.”

“It was nothing that was true about, really, how the American people right now, so many are suffering under the weight of high prices, unaffordable health care, and affordable housing,” Harris continued.

She further attacked the speech as “quite boring” and “the same old, same old,” adding that Trump was “lying about what he intends to do, what he has done, and the state of our economy and the state of the world.”

WATCH:

Parnas: I got to get your reaction to last night’s State of the Union address from the President of the United States. Did you watch it? What did you think?

Harris: I watched it um? It was full of lies. And you know, when he wasn’t lying, he was— it reminded me of our kids going to show and tell at school. Um. It was nothing that was true about, really, how the American people right now, so many are suffering under the weight of high prices, unaffordable health care, and affordable housing. And it was, you know, we’ve come to expect it. And, you know, some people have said it was really quite boring and that there was nothing very interesting about it cus it was the same old, same old. The guy, lying about what he intends to do, what he has done, and the state of our economy and the state of the world.

It will be recalled that during Biden’s last State of the Union address in March 2024, Biden walked out like a nursing home patient and didn’t even know where to go before he malfunctioned with his teleprompter.

He later botched the name of 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley, who was savagely murdered by an illegal alien, then apologized for calling her killer an “illegal.”

Authorities in Maryland have arrested a suspect in the murder of millionaire philanthropist Robert Fuller Jr at a senior living facility in Maryland.

The Montgomery Police Department has announced that Maurquise James, 22, a medicine technician who was employed by the Cogir Potomac Senior Living Facility, has been arrested for the murder of Robert Fuller Jr.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the Montgomery County Police on Saturday released surveillance footage of a suspect they believed was connected to the murder.

In surveillance footage, a person wearing a plaid jacket and appearing to have long hair was seen entering the senior living facility where Fuller resided.

Shortly after the surveillance footage was released to the public, employees notified authorities that James wore the same plaid jacket to the senior living facility on multiple occasions.

Captain Sean Gheen said detectives also received a tip from a staff member at the senior living facility who informed authorities that James had been at the facility after his work hours on the night of the murder.

On Tuesday morning, James was arrested after he fired shots at a Maryland State Trooper, and detectives were able to match the bullet casings to those found at the murder of Fuller.

Per Fox Baltimore:

A Baltimore man was arrested on attempted murder charges after firing shots at a Maryland State Trooper during a traffic stop early Tuesday morning.

Maurquise James, 22, was taken into custody and charged with attempted first-degree murder, felony assault, using a firearm during a crime of violence, and related offenses.

Police confirmed that James is also the suspect in the death of Robert Fuller, a millionaire who was shot and killed in Potomac on Valentine’s Day.

One of the staff members that was spoken to by detectives at the senior living facility Fuller was at was a medicine technician went by the name of Marquise James.

Captain Sean Gheen further noted that a search warrant revealed multiple wigs and masks at James’ home.

On Wednesday, Vice President JD Vance and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Oz announced the Trump Administration is withholding Medicaid funding to Minnesota amid an investigation into the state’s rampant fraud.

“We have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that are going to the state of Minnesota in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligation seriously to be good stewards of the American people’s tax money,” Vance said.

Vance said the Trump Administration is stopping federal payments to the state government until the state government takes its obligations to stop the fraud.

The Vice President said fraudsters are taking money from services designed to help autistic children.

“A lot of people were getting rich off the generosity of the American taxpayer!” Vance said.

“There are kids that need these autism services, and the money is not going to those kids — it’s going to fraudsters in Minneapolis!” Vance said.

“That is unacceptable!” Vance said.

Vance said the generosity and good hearts of Americans are being taken advantage of.

Dr. Oz blasted Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

“This is not a problem with the people of Minnesota. It’s a problem with the leadership of Minnesota and other states who do not take Medicaid preservation seriously,” Dr. Oz said.

“Any delay in services is going to be, should be laid at the at the seat of Governor Walz. I believe he will take this seriously,” he said.

In a complaint filed with the National Institutes of Health, White Coat Waste has accused Dr. Nicole Kleinstreuer, the agency’s Deputy Director and overseer of its massive animal testing portfolio, of spreading outright lies about the agency’s funding of experiments on dogs and cats.

The filing demands corrections to Kleinstreuer’s false claims that these grants “predate” her tenure and that NIH is legally “constrained” to keep funding them, when in reality, millions in new and extended grants for painful, lethal tests on beagles and kittens have been approved under her leadership.

The complaint stems from Kleinstreuer’s appearance on an official NIH video podcast last July, where she tried to dodge criticism from WCW and animal lovers by insisting, “I understand that there’s part of the extramural portfolio that exists, that predates [us]. We are constrained under the law to leave those existing grants in place for now…. But to phase them out, we are working tirelessly behind the scenes.” She even claimed NIH was creating an “action plan to phase those out as quickly as possible under the law.”

However, WCW’s detailed analysis of NIH records paints a very different picture.

Far from being relics of Fauci’s past, these experiments have been actively funded and expanded during Kleinstreuer’s watch, which began in April of last year.

According to the complaint:

• NIH has greenlit over 30 new grants potentially involving dog experiments, totaling around $40 million. One egregious example: a nearly $3 million grant to a pharma company for lethal tests on 68 beagles, force-fed an implant for opioid treatment (Grant No. UG3DA062511).
• More than 45 existing grants for dog tests have been extended, with over $170 million awarded overall and at least $6 million in fresh funding. This includes over $900,000 in new money to Tufts University for force-feeding beagles diet pills mimicking gastric bypass (Grant No. R44DK141341).
• At least 3 new cat grants worth $1.1 million, including a University of Minnesota project where up to 60 kittens endure skull drilling, virus injections, induced strokes, paralysis, and death – with $486,100 doled out in August 2025 and more to come through 2030 (Grant No. R01NS140244).
• Over 10 extended cat grants totaling more than $45 million, with at least $533,961 new for spinal cord injuries and treadmill torture on cats (Grant No. R01NS110550).

These aren’t holdovers; they’re affirmative decisions by Kleinstreuer and her team to pump taxpayer dollars into what she herself called “unethical,” “misleading,” and “resource-intensive” animal models that “hold back progress in human health.”

WCW argues that this directly contradicts her podcast spin, violating federal information quality laws that require government officials to be accurate and objective.

Kleinstreuer’s actions also fly in the face of President Donald Trump’s push to slash wasteful government spending and end unnecessary animal cruelty.

Trump has repeatedly signaled support for reforming NIH’s bloated bureaucracy, including curbing Fauci-era disasters like these pet labs.

Yet under Kleinstreuer, a documented Fauci fan girl, the spending spree continues, wasting tens of millions while claiming to be legally handcuffed by non-existent restraints.

As WCW points out, NIH has full discretion to yank funding if it’s not in the “best interests of the Federal government,” per its own policies.

Back in June, Kleinstreuer desperately justified barbaric beagle experiments, like infesting 400 puppies with ticks at the University of Missouri, telling NPR that animal studies are “still very important and often scientifically justified” and can’t be phased out “overnight.”

Shockingly, radical left-wing groups like PETA and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) rushed to her defense, applauding her for supposedly “prioritizing animal-free, human-relevant research.”

PETA gushed on social media that they are “grateful” to Kleinstreuer for championing this move, even as she doubled down on defending the very tests they claim to oppose.

WAIT—YOU DIDN’T HEAR?

A guide for what @NIH will fund shows a recent change that prioritizes animal-free, human-relevant research.
We’re grateful to @NKleinstreuer, @NIHDirector_Jay, & @RobertKennedyJr for championing this move! https://t.co/DiVerjwinQ

PETA, as The Gateway Pundit has repeatedly reported, has a history of spreading misinformation and trying to steal credit for White Coat Waste’s work, while trashing them publicly.

In 2021, PETA falsely claimed “Trump did nothing to stop animal experimentation,” ignoring the administration’s historic steps working with WCW to stop some of the government’s worst animal testing abuses. They deleted their post after it was exposed as a lie.

PETA even tried to smear WCW in The New Yorker out of apparent jealousy over their real victories, stating, “White Coat Waste has young-male-testosterone energy, and it seems like they attack all the other groups for fundraising purposes.”

Goodman responded at the time by telling The Gateway Pundit:

“We’re proud of our hard-hitting campaigns and historic victories against government animal labs that made this issue high politics, front page news, and won the support of President Trump, his family, and his administration. We’ll never apologize for aggressively fighting to save animals from government abuse and to hold federal bureaucrats accountable for lying to taxpayers and wasting animals’ lives and taxpayers’ money. PETA hates us because they ain’t us.”

In their complaint about Kleinstreuer, WCW demands NIH stop spreading these lies, issue a public retraction, clarify its authority to defund these labs immediately, and, if they insist on “phasing out,” provide a real timeline.

WCW’s letter states:

White Coat Waste’s mission is to educate the public about and advocate to end the federal government’s use of billions of taxpayer dollars annually on cruel and wasteful animal experiments. NIH leadership’s false assertions regarding the agency’s authority and efforts to end its funding of dog and cat labs are critical misrepresentations that have caused WCW to continually divert its limited resources to expose NIH’s ongoing issuance of awards to fund these tests and respond to related inquiries from the deceived public, including the press, Trump administration, and Members of Congress.

Consistent with the NIH’s Agency Administrative Complaint Procedures, WCW requests that the agency (1) suspend further dissemination of these or similar false and misleading statements; and (2) issue a press release retracting these statements and clarifying the NIH’s authority to end funding for dog and cat experiments, that its award decisions were not required by law, and—if the NIH continues to assert that it is working to phase out these grants—a firm timeline for its phase-out.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. We look forward to your response within 60 calendar days.

Bureaucrats like Kleinstreuer talk a big game about ethics publicly while funneling your tax dollars into medieval torture chambers for man’s best friend.

It’s past time to end it.
