This year was one of change and remembrance. U.S. - Cuba policy changed and 2017 marked in November the 100 year observance of the communist take over in Russia and a century of terror and mass murder caused by communists around the world. The United States pulled out of UNESCO. North Korea was in the headlines because of its nuclear threat. Notes from the Cuban Exile Quarter remembered some of the victims of communism in Cuba. Below are the highlights from 2017 according to Twitter Analytics.

December 2017Refusing to mourn Fidel Castro's death is punishable by prison in Cuba. Eduardo Cardet is still in prison for saying in November 2016: "Castro was a very controversial man, very much hated and rejected by our people." He is an AI prisoner of conscience. https://t.co/rkasWIj4ko pic.twitter.com/npxyTIPBFb— John Suarez ن (@johnjsuarez) November 24, 2017
Remembering some of the victims of Cuban communism: Yuriniesky Martínez Reina. Shot in the back and killed by Castro's state security in Cuba on April 9, 2015. His "crime"? Building a boat with friends to flee the Castro dictatorship and live in freedom. https://t.co/KVr6C30snl pic.twitter.com/E0OR4nasvv— John Suarez ن (@johnjsuarez) November 27, 2017
