    Why did the Cuban government shoot down two Brothers to the Rescue planes in 1996?

    In an exclusive interview, BotB speaks with #RenéGonzález, an intelligence agent and member of the Cuban Five who flew Brothers to the Rescue planes in the early 1990s.

    González recounts how he infiltrated the group, what he witnessed from the inside, and why he believes #RaúlCastro's indictment over the shoot-down is a made-in-Miami pretext to justify an invasion.

  2. Wow, #ReneGonzalez seems like a terrible #Portland mayoral candidate and human being in general. I remember him from banning #PortlandStreetResponse from giving #homeless people tents and tarps in the middle of winter, which is unforgivably inhumane.

    And then there is all the other things he has done to inspire people to start a whole #DontRankRene campaign.

    #ReneGonzalez’s recent nod to a #rightwing media personality and #provocateur seemed on brand, as his disdain for #antifascist protesters and #police critics sometimes echoes the rhetoric heard on #FoxNews.

    #Portlandcitycommissioner and mayoral candidate:

    #Antifa/ #anarchists have #terrorized my family & my city. I appreciate you calling a spade a spade & recognize you have been terrorized for it…”

    #ReneGonzalez called 911 back in late January when he was jostled by another rider on a #MAXtrain, telling the operator he was the victim of "a light assault" …Gonzalez claims he was "bumped twice"—though video of the incident clearly shows that the person barely brushed by him…

    icymi, #pdxpol: #ReneGonzalez, a Portland city commissioner and current candidate for mayor has repeated calls for the city to limit or even prohibit public input that’s critical of police during city council meetings.

    Commissioner Carmen Rubio and Mayor Wheeler have panned Gonzalez’s proposal. In a statement provided to OPB, Rubio said she believed Wheeler’s camping policy had struck the right balance and was frustrated by Gonzalez’s eleventh-hour proposal.

    “It criminalizes homelessness — without an opportunity to choose a path toward treatment — and that’s not what Portlanders want,” said Rubio, who is also running for mayor. “Portlanders want accountability with compassion — in the form of real addiction and mental health treatment choices.”

  7. it seems like a succinct public understanding of this kind of vicious far right concern-trolling re: homelessness & addiction struggles has not yet metastasized, but it will. when it does the names of people like Dahlgren & other disgraceful current right wing “street journalism” disinfo scammers will be synonymous with cruelty, bigotry and deceit. infosec.exchange/@risibledog/1

  8. While Dahlgren acknowledged in a followup post that he’s been told he filmed a homeless shelter, not a safe injection site, his original March 10 post remains on X. The followup post with the correction received 3,600 impressions, while the original post received 331,000.

  9. Portland Commissioner and mayoral hopeful Rene Gonzalez recently said that he would temporarily stop using public transit after he alleged that a woman “accosted” him aboard a MAX train, including subjecting him to “deliberate, unwanted physical contact.”

    Video obtained by The Oregonian/OregonLive shows that the woman may have at most brushed Gonzalez’s arm as she moved to the front of the nearly empty train car, where, according to the commissioner, she began criticizing him over the city’s homelessness policies.

    Footage of the Jan. 26 encounter, captured on a pair TriMet cameras, also does not appear to substantiate his assertion that the woman intentionally “bumped” into him twice, a claim Gonzalez made to police on the day of the incident and then to news outlets a week later on Feb. 2.

  10. Parents called attention to Rene Gonzalez’s acknowledgement last week that he sacrificed transgender and LGBQ+ kids, Black and Indigenous kids, and other kids of color to gain support for his ED300 agenda. ED300 was founded by Rene Gonzalez and the organization created a PAC to endorse school board members in 2021.

    Research conducted by two Portland Public School parents showed Gonzalez and his group pushed to elect school board members also supported by groups who are anti-LGBTQ, against teaching an accurate history of race in classrooms and comprehensive sex education.

Quincy Franklin is visible wearing yellow & black facepaint behind Jeremy Christian. This photo was taken less than a month before Christian stabbed and killed people on the #trimet MAX train.

    Rene Gonzalez should be ashamed to publicly complain about being frightened on PDX public transit.

  11. not saying that things aren’t a bit grim in PDX lately, but the push to demonize homeless ppl & those struggling w addiction is fucking bullshit, & ignores the obvious political games being played by #PPB & #PPA - not to mention #ReneGonzalez’s connections to violent alt-right organizers who have assaulted & robbed houseless ppl in town during their fascist rallies.
