"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.

“An Act of War”: US Lawmakers Condemn Blockade on Cuba
https://belly-of-the-beast.kit.com/posts/an-act-of-war-u-s-lawmakers-condemn-blockade-on-cuba[weekly newsletter about #Cuba from the #BellyOfTheBeast #news collective. Their #videos can be found at: https://peertube.world/c/cuba_botb_videos/videos]
April 10, 2026Rep. #PramilaJayapal (D-WA) and Rep. #JonathanJackson (D-IL) traveled to Cuba last week, delivering an unusually blunt assessment of #US policy.
After meeting with Cubans from across the political spectrum, and visiting a hospital impacted by the #Trump-imposed #oil #blockade, they described US policy in stark terms, equating it to warfare against the Cuban people.

Video - BREAKING NEWS: Cuba Confirms Dialogue With US
https://peertube.world/w/6sHTCg2NccQiQy8pDWDVe7[a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
Cuba’s President #MiguelDíazCanel has confirmed that talks are taking place between Cuban and #US officials.
According to #DíazCanel, the exchanges have been led by #RaúlCastro and involve international actors as well.
The Cuban president described the talks as respectful and delicate. He also stressed that any process must move forward on the basis of equality, sovereignty and self-determination.
Díaz-Canel stressed that this isn’t the first time Cuba and the US have engaged in talks of this kind, citing negotiations more than a decade ago between #BarackObama and Raúl Castro that led to a historic opening between the two countries.

Video - “Dialogue, Not Sanctions” - Cuba Responds to US Pressure
https://peertube.world/w/mKw4C6szvepzbk5Lv5xwxR
[from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
Responding to Washington’s intensified blockade on #Cuba, President #DíazCanel says the island remains open to dialogue with the #US - but not under coercion. His statement comes amid escalating hostile rhetoric from the Trump administration and a new wave of economic pressure.
The US has used decades-long #sanctions, financial strangulation, diplomatic isolation, and now the targeting of fuel shipments, to pressure Cuba, deepening the economic crisis, affecting electricity, transportation and the daily lives of millions of Cubans. US Secretary of State #MarcoRubio recently admitted the strategy is aimed at forcing regime-change on the island.
In this context, a key question emerges: how can US policymakers claim to act in a country’s interest while also suffocating it?
