Video - Inside Cuba’s Fuel Lines: Taxi Drivers Struggle Under U.S. Oil Blockade
https://peertube.world/w/ohzr5SRbJnC1dqDHbgKS3j
Duration - 2:53[a #video on #Peertube about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
Since January, the U.S. oil blockade has worsened the living conditions of the Cuban people.
Lines of taxis stretch for hours outside Cuba’s gas stations — when fuel is even available.
Even when it is, they struggle to find clients due to the lack of tourists.

This speaks volumes about the inconsistency between the interests the #US proclaims in its #NationalSecurity strategy & the policies it pursues in the #WesternHemisphere.
#LatinAmerica & the #Caribbean need neither aircraft carriers patrolling their waters nor punitive #tariffs. What we lack are reliable & predictable partners. While the US is closing off its #market, other countries have stepped forward as alternatives, with a positive agenda capable of fostering economic & social development. -

EZLN Boat Arrives in Cuba with Humanitarian Aid
The Lacandona boat arrived in Cuba as part of the crew of the sailboat Astral, which reached the island on Sunday with humanitarian aid from European solidarity groups, Captain Marcos of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) reported.
“These days, a sister organization in the struggle for life, the Spanish Open Arms, is landing on the Cuban coast to deliver necessary support for the Cuban people. They are not carrying demands, requirements, conditions, or positions; they are carrying solar energy equipment and medicine for a hospital,” he added.
He said that aboard the sailboat Astral, “as one more element of its vessel and crew, was a small boat called Lacandona, related to the canoes that, five years ago, crossed the Atlantic from the mountains, defying the tide of history to unite a rebellion that knows no borders.” He pointed out that “just as the small Lacandona is the younger sister of the Astral and is the smallest vessel rescuing shipwrecked survivors of military, economic, and racial wars, our words and actions are one more in the great family of those who recognize the struggle for life as necessary, urgent, and imperative. The smallest, certainly, but also part of the whole.”
Marcos explained this at the start of the activities of the workshop “War Against Humanity: Populations and Nature Under Siege,” which will take place in San Cristóbal de las Casas from July 20th to 25th.
“We are summoned by the ultimate crime, crime made systemic, a crime so transparent that light doesn’t pass through it, but rather distorts it like a mirror, a prism that breaks down into pleasant, endearing, desirable, fashionable colors. It accumulates trillions of likes from its sacrificial victims and yet remains unsatisfied. So, we are summoned by a crime,” the captain stated at the start of the proceedings.
“We have a single criminal, the evidence is there, the daily judgment of reality is there, a sentence is always pending. The criminal in question has public defenders, judges, police, armies, banks, industries, businesses, social media, news outlets, World Cups, FIFA, virtual fan clubs, trade agreements, clandestine and open meetings, and the resigned attitude of millions of victims. It will not surrender easily and will not stop in its quest for conquest and subjugation,” he declared.

Video - State Department Makes Case for Repression and Cuba Regime Change
https://peertube.world/w/hqRPXhoJTpDDV5PFGVDPg1
Duration - 1:53[a #video on #Peertube about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
The #US State Department just released a 100-page report accusing Cuba of influencing virtually every major progressive movement, organization, protest and activist over the last 65 years.
Amidst a hodgepodge of distorted history and sweeping, conspiratorial conclusions, the #Trump administration uses the report for two purposes: to justify repression at home and regime change in Cuba.
Watch Belly of the Beast journalist Liz Oliva Fernández break down what the report says — and what it means.

I’m continuing experimenting with this topographic map style and here’s one for the French Caribbean island of Saint-Barthélemy. France’s IGN provides DEM with a horizontal resolution of 1 metre so I wondered how my map workflow would look like for smaller islands.
Feedback and comments are welcome! 🙏

Here is another indicator of the distance between the global North and South but also another form of #classwar in the "advanced economies".
Healthy diet too expensive for one in three people globally, UN report finds
https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/jul/21/healthy-diet-too-expensive-for-one-in-three-people-globally-un-report-findsOne in three people cannot afford to eat a healthy diet, a new report has found, prompting calls for urgent action on food affordability.
There are 2.69 billion people unable to afford a diverse diet that meets their energy and nutrient needs.
The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2026 report calculated the cost of a healthy diet is 4.28 purchasing power parity (PPP) dollars a day. This means that in any given country, a healthy diet costs the amount of local currency with the same buying power that >>>>> $4.28<<< has in the US.
“The extreme poverty line is $3PPP per person,” Torero said. “So it’s significantly higher.”
In Africa, 66.6% of the population was unable to afford a healthy diet in 2025, more than double the levels observed in #Asia or #LatinAmerica and the #Caribbean.
#Africa is now home to the highest number of hungry people for the first time, with about 309 million, surpassing Asia’s 292 million.
Another of the #UN agencies behind the report, show adult #obesity rose from 12.1% in 2012 to 16.2% in 2024.
