What does this moment in Cuba mean to the people living through it?
For photographer Moník Molinet, the answer begins with a pause: asking people to stop, reflect, and write down the words that honestly describe their lives. In #Havana, amid an increasingly severe social and economic crisis fueled by suffocating #US sanctions, she invited people to put their own words to the moment they are living through.
These are their words. Their voices. Their moment.
Words for This Moment is a photographic project by Moník Molinet, created in Havana in July, 2026. The project is a series of 50 portraits, created in collaboration with Belly of the Beast.

Video - "Solidarity Is Not a Crime" [Cuba]
https://peertube.world/w/kn365P9Et6nKCQxiA3NKye
Duration - 27:00[a #video on #Peertube about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
The #US State Department’s latest report on Cuba revives allegations against US #solidarity activists that were made by the FBI and CIA in the 1960s and 1970s — claims historian Teishan Latner says were never proven.
In this interview with BotB journalist Yohan Rodríguez, Latner discusses the history of US-Cuba solidarity, the #VenceremosBrigade, the #BlackPantherParty and growing pressure on people in the US who oppose Washington’s policy toward Cuba.
He also examines whether the report is helping lay the groundwork for military action against Cuba.

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.

#Rubio Promises Cuba a Better Future — in a Box

[weekly newsletter about #Cuba from the #BellyOfTheBeast #news collective. Their videos can be found at: https://peertube.world/c/cuba_botb_videos/videos]The #Trump administration is touting a $100 million aid package for Cuba, most of which is being distributed by #CatholicChurch charities.
But the aid is a drop in the bucket compared to the damage caused by #US# sanctions and an #oil #blockade that has plunged the country into a humanitarian crisis.
In our latest video, Belly of the Beast journalist Yohan Rodríguez reports from Bejucal, a town on the outskirts of Havana, where residents welcomed the food kits but questioned the policies that made the aid necessary.

Video - Cuba Can’t Keep the Lights On. Rubio Says It’s a Superpower
https://peertube.world/w/fJgfR2tiGPiBjtpGBeAGo6
Duration - 1:30[a #video on #Peertube about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
In an interview with Lara Trump, U.S. Secretary of State #MarcoRubio called Cuba a “superpower” and a threat to the #UnitedStates. Lara Trump said Cuba is trying to wipe the U.S. from the face of the earth.
So how does an island struggling with blackouts, fuel shortages and a deep economic crisis pose an existential threat to the world’s most powerful country?
Journalist Yohan Rodríguez breaks down the farcical claims by #Trump and #Rubio, which are used to justify current #US policy.

Goodwill or Good Marketing? The Contradiction Of U.S. Aid To Cuba
https://peertube.world/w/rWJbEPAx1eMn65mGQYNmku
Duration - 12:08[a #video on #Peertube about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
The #US announced $100 million in humanitarian aid to Cuba, some of which is now being distributed to vulnerable families through the CatholicChurch.
So we went to #Bejucal, one of the towns where the aid first arrived.
In a town of 22,000 people, the Church delivered 380 boxes of aid. Those who received it expressed their gratitude. But there is a stark contradiction at the heart of the US aid effort: Washington is offering relief from a crisis its own policies have brought about.

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.

Agroecology in Cuba | How Farmers Feed Communities Amid Crisis
[A #video on #PeerTube about #Cuba from the video collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
Cuba is a reference point for agroecology worldwide. What started as an alternative to avoid dependence on imported materials has become a nationwide network of small farms using agroecology to try to achieve food sovereignty for Cuba. As the country’s economic crisis deepens, resources become scarce and prices of imported goods increase, agroecology in Cuba is now more important than ever.
This is the first video in our short series on Cuban agroecology, leading up to the premiere of Our Agroecology, Our Future
