"The blockade is warfare.”
That’s how Greg Levi describes #US policy toward Cuba after traveling to the island and seeing its impact firsthand.
Levi, a #socialist candidate for the #USSenate in #Ohio, talked with BotB journalist Liz Oliva Fernández about what he saw in Cuban #hospitals and communities, why he believes US citizens don’t know much about Cuba, and why he refuses to stay silent despite the political risks.
He also opens up about his working-class roots, his experience in the US military, his criticism of US democracy and why he chose to run for Senate as an independent socialist.

Video - Inside the Cuban Café Where People With Autism and Down Syndrome Work
https://peertube.world/w/696hHN82o8to8pzQcaG5DE
Duration - 4:40[a #video on #Peertube about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
When a mother couldn’t find a place willing to employ her son Liván, who has #DownSyndrome, she decided to create one.
Liva Café in Havana employs people with intellectual disabilities and #autism, with support from specialists in #psychology and #SpecialEducation. For workers like Livan, Karel and Richard, it’s a place to earn experience, build relationships and show what they can do.
Cuba has long had policies aimed at integrating people with #disabilities into the workspace. But as the people in Liva’s story explain, significant barriers remain — particularly when it comes to finding employers willing to give them an opportunity.

US Economic War Can’t Stop Cuba’s First Day of School
https://belly-of-the-beast.kit.com/posts/u-s-economic-war-can-t-stop-cuba-s-first-day-of-schoolSept. 3, 2026
[weekly newsletter about #Cuba from the #BellyOfTheBeast #news collective. Their videos can be found at: https://peertube.world/c/cuba_botb_videos/videos]Nearly 1.4 million Cuban students returned to school Tuesday after a long, sweltering summer.
Parents rose before dawn, packed lunches and ironed school uniforms while navigating shortages and hours-long blackouts caused by the #Trump administration’s oil blockade.
This week, we take you inside Cuba’s first day of school-and the extraordinary effort families and teachers are making to keep children learning.

Video - U.S. Sabotages Cuba’s Hospitals — Then Calls Universal Healthcare a Failure
https://peertube.world/w/vNxwt6wKcW8FqzTVMApdh3
Duration - 1:47[a #video on #Peertube about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
U.S. Rep. Carlos Giménez (R-FL) says Cuba’s healthcare system “sucks” and “doesn’t work,” pointing to hospitals without #medicine and deteriorating conditions.
But this criticism leaves out a major part of the story: the policies Giménez has championed are the reason why Cuba’s #hospitals are collapsing. #US #EconomicWarfare has restricted Cuba’s ability to obtain medicines, #medical equipment, fuel and other resources needed to keep its #healthcare system running.

Video - How U.S. Sanctions Affect Pregnant Women and Newborns in Cuba
https://peertube.world/w/cx4rvNyGxnwWSDXone8A2M
Duration - 1:23[a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
In recent days, #Cuban civil society organizations have denounced the devastating impact of the #US government’s economic war on the Cuban people.
Dr. Dayana Couto Núñez, president of the Cuban Society of #Gynecology and #Obstetrics, says shortages of medicines, medical supplies, technology and fuel are affecting surgeries, ultrasounds, diagnostic tests and maternal care.
According to Couto, the situation is making it harder to detect congenital malformations early and to care for premature and low-birth-weight babies, who often require specialized medication and high-tech equipment.
“Neither our women nor our children are to blame,” she said. “They need #medical care, #medicines and quality resources.”

Video - Statements of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cuba at the #UN Security Council
https://peertube.world/w/68V7f77vCxVxwLiLNxuxtz
Duration - 1:09[a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
At the #UNSecurityCouncil, Cuba’s Minister of Foreign Affairs #BrunoRodriguez called on the international community to act to prevent the “human catastrophe” that could result from the ongoing energy #blockade and potential #US #military aggression.
Thousands of Cubans would die defending their homeland,” he said. “And young US citizens would also perish, without a cause or ideal worth fighting for, dragged into violence by an #imperialist, neofascist policy of domination, plunder and conquest.”

#Video - US Voices Against the Blockade Episode 2: Imani Bashir
https://peertube.world/w/oBRgayfhyQKmpGizL1YXZj[from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
Duration - 2:02#ImaniBashir is a Black American activist from Washington D.C. She visited to #Cuba following a radical political tradition, one that includes Malcolm X, Assata Shakur, and Kwame Ture, figures who understood the #CubanRevolution as part of a broader struggle for liberation.
For Bashir, visiting Cuba wasn't just political, it was personal. Seeing #AfroCuban people, she says, was seeing people who look like her, who share her history, who have maintained their culture and dignity under decades of sanctions.
Her argument on the #blockade is straightforward: Cuba has never been a threat to the US. It has never put #US safety, its food supply, or resources at stake. "It has only been the other way around," she says.

UN Vote Exposes U.S. Pressure and Hypocrisy Over Sanctions on Cuba
[A video about #Cuba, hosted on the #PeerTube server #CuddlyTube, from the #video collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
For more than 30 years, the #UN General Assembly has voted overwhelmingly to end the #US embargo on Cuba.
But this year, the number grew slightly: seven countries voted NO, and a few more abstained.
According to Professor #WilliamLeoGrande, most of those opposing nations either rely heavily on Washington, like #Israel and #Ukraine, or have conservative governments ideologically opposed to Cuba.
Others are nations clashing with Russia, viewing Cuba as its ally.
Behind the numbers lies US diplomatic pressure. Washington can force votes, LeoGrande says, but not genuine support.
