Video - What Cubans Want to Say About Life in Cuba Today

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.

Rubio’s Regime Change Plans — and the Media Selling Them

August 8, 2026The #Trump administration's Cuba playbook made its way into major #US media outlets this week.
Anonymous US officials detailed intelligence operations, possible military action and the "hunt" for Cuba's next leader.
The articles read less like journalistic scoops than messages Secretary of State #MarcoRubio wants delivered, with the reporters serving as couriers. As one anonymous official told Axios about a leak, the administration is simply “letting the regime know we’re watching.”

After more than two decades away, #CubanAmerican teacher and activist Lavender returned to #Cuba, the place her family always considered home.
Walking through Havana, she reflected on identity, belonging and the complicated relationship many Cuban Americans have with the island.
She spoke about the changes she has witnessed in Cuba, including the evolution of attitudes toward #LGBTQ+ people, and why she believes listening to ordinary Cubans is essential.
“I stand proud, and I stand tall because that’s what Cuba taught me,” she said.

Cuba’s Foreign Minister #BrunoRodríguez accused the U.S. State Department of carrying out “pressure, blackmail and threats” to derail a debate about the U.S. blockade at the #UnitedNations General Assembly on July 7.
According to Rodríguez, the #US State Department is pressuring governments to prevent the session from taking place. He also claimed that Washington is circulating documents urging countries not to support Cuba at the #UN.

Video - How U.S. Sanctions Affect Pregnant Women and Newborns in Cuba

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.”

Airbnb & Expedia Leave Cuba | How Sanctions Destroyed Cuban Tourism
[A #video on #PeerTube about #Cuba from the video collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
Countless #Cuban families once relied on #tourism for their livelihoods. Not long after #Obama’s opening with #Cuba in 2014, Cuba was welcoming over 4 million visitors per year. That number has been cut in half.
Cuban B&B’s (or casas particulares, as they’re known in Cuba) sustain communities, create local jobs, and offer travelers an authentic cultural experience. But the business has been decimated by US #sanctions.
#Trump’s sanctions banned cruise ships, restricted flights, and placed Cuba back on the US ”State sponsors of terrorism” blacklist, changing everything. #Airbnb stopped paying Cuban hosts without international accounts, and #Expedia was forced to halt its operations.
