#Video - Italians Thank the Cuban Doctors Working in Calabria
https://peertube.world/w/9CaBHqEwssVRoTMNvEhE4s
Duration - 1:51[from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
Cuban #medical workers have served on international cooperation missions in more than 150 countries since the 1960s.
During Covid, a #Cuban medical brigade helped #Italians in Lombardy, which triggered #Calabria’s president Roberto Occhiuto to reach out to Cuba in 2022 to invite hundreds of #doctors to his region. Calabria is one of the poorest regions in Italy and its #healthcare has suffered greatly from staffing and other issues.
“Cuba will always be in my heart,” says an elderly Italian man whose life was saved by a Cuban doctor.

#Video - From Cuba to Calabria: Medical Missions in Times of Crisis
https://peertube.world/w/qRB4DRT7siUnxzmLDAVthG
Duration - 22:20[from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
#US politicians have been waging a war against Cuba’s #medical missions for years. During the second #Trump administration, with #MarcoRubio as Sec. of State, this war has escalated. Since 2025, at least 8 countries have announced they will no longer facilitate #Cuba’s medical missions due to US pressure.
The US calls Cuba’s medical missions “forced labor,” without providing evidence to back the claim. The #Cuban government calls the #doctors heroes.
Cuban doctors volunteer to go on international missions, where they are paid many times more than what they make in Cuba. Cuban medical workers have served on international cooperation missions in more than 150 countries since the 1960s, usually working with populations that would otherwise not have access to care.

Cuba Threatens US National Security — With Doctors?
https://belly-of-the-beast.kit.com/posts/cuba-threatens-u-s-national-security-with-doctors

When they first arrived in #Italy, some of their Italian colleagues and patients were distrustful of #Cuban doctors, but they quickly realized... Cuban #doctors are top-notch.

Video - Rubio Says There’s No Oil Blockade on Cuba. Cubans Disagree
https://peertube.world/w/3TTCtPWBXk4Q5Nx3tRBpXw
Duration - 2:04[a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
#US Secretary of State #MarcoRubio posted a video on May 20 addressed directly to the #Cuban people, claiming the blackouts have nothing to do with the US #OilBlockade.
We took to the streets to #Havana to see what people thought of his speech. Most hadn’t seen it.
“It’s just that I despise Marco Rubio so much that it’s not even worth listening to anything he says,” said Lucía Miret, 76, a retired teacher.
Most of those who saw it, rejected Rubio’s claim.
“It’s no secret to anyone that the blockade exists,” said Daimara Pérez, a doctor. “If the blockade didn’t exist then they should let the ships in.”

#Video - DOJ Indicts Raúl Castro, But Can’t Explain Why Now, 30 Years After the Fact
https://peertube.world/w/bKKCDhvynradRkaTmM4TLu[from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
Duration - 1:42The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has unsealed an indictment charging former Cuban President #RaúlCastro, now 94 years old, along with 5 other Cuban officials, over the 1996 shoot-down of two civilian aircraft belonging to #BrothersToTheRescue in which four people died.
At a press conference announcing the case, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche faced several key questions about the indictment, including why it took three decades to bring charges against Castro.
“I cannot explain or justify why now as opposed to two decades ago or 30 years ago when it happened,” Blanche said.
Another major question remains unresolved: how the #US plans to bring the 94-year-old #Cuban leader to trial from a country that has no extradition treaty with Washington.

Video - The Human Cost of US Sanctions
https://peertube.world/w/7Li2JGyMsh5FFDkYvPsJGi
Duration - 8:28[a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
BotB's Liz Oliva and Drop Site’s Ryan Grim recently visited the William Soler Pediatric #Hospital in #Havana where they spoke with the chief anesthesiologist, Alioth Fernández, and the parents of some of his patients.
Cuba's public and free #healthcare system was long considered one of the best in the world. Its doctors are top-notch, dedicated and caring. This is a story about what happens when the most powerful country in the world uses economic warfare to deprive a smaller country from obtaining the #medicine it needs to save lives.
The #Cuban government cannot access the international financial system, cannot import freely, cannot buy what its children need — not because of indifference, but because #US sanctions have destroyed the country’s economy and drained the #PublicHealth budget.

Diaz-Canel said “international factors have facilitated these exchanges”.
He said no #petroleum shipments have arrived on the island in the past three months, which he blamed on the #US #energy blockade.

'Chatham House Rule'
Torenberg launched Chatham House the summer of 2024,
naming it after a British think tank that formalized the insight that
trusted conversations require a degree of privacy.Two of its conservative participants said they see the group as a way to shift centrist Trump-curious figures to the Republican side,
but its founder said he’d begun it to have “a left-right exchange where we could have real conversations because of filter bubble group chats.”Chatham House includes high-profile figures like the economist
#Larry #Summers and the historian #Niall #Ferguson,
and more partisan figures like #Shapiro and the Democratic analyst #David #Shor.#Andreessen lurks.
But several participants described it to me as something like a gladiatorial arena with #Cuban most often in the center,
sparring with conservatives.(“no idea what you are talking about :)” Cuban emailed in response to an inquiry about his arguments on Chatham House.)
The Group Chat Era depended on part of the American elite feeling shut out from public spaces,
and on the formation of a new conservative consensus.Both of those are now fading
(though Torenberg has invested in a company called #ChatBCC that wants to commercialize the heady experience of sitting in on texts among the power elite).Since Elon Musk turned X to the right
and an alternative media ecosystem emerged on Substack,
“a tremendous amount of the verboten conversations can now shift back into public view,” Andreessen told Fridman.“It’s much healthier to live in a society in which people are literally not scared of what they’re saying.”
And Trump’s destabilizing “Liberation Day” has taken its toll on the coalition Andreessen helped shape.
You can see it on X,
where investors joke that they’ll put pronouns back in their bios in exchange for a return to the 2024 stock prices,
and where #Srinivasan has been a leading critic of Trump’s tariffs.“Group chats have changed on the economy in the last few weeks,”
said #Rufo.
“There’s a big split on the tech right.”The polarity of social media has also reversed,
and while participants used to keep their conservative ideas off social media,
“now the anti-Trump sentiment is what you’re afraid to say on X,” one said.By mid-April, #Sacks had had enough with Chatham House:
“This group has become worthless since the loudest voices have TDS,”
he wrote, shorthanding
“Trump Derangement Syndrome.”Then he addressed Torenberg:
“You should create a new one with just smart people.”Signal soon showed that three men had left the group:
The Sequoia partner #Shaun #Maguire,
the bitcoin billionaire #Tyler #Winklevoss, and #Tucker #Carlson.https://www.semafor.com/article/04/27/2025/the-group-chats-that-changed-america

In February, #Marc #Andreessen described the #Chatham #House group chats to the podcaster #Lex #Fridman as “the equivalent of [Soviet era] #samizdat”
“The combination of encryption and disappearing messages really unleashed it,” he said. The chats, he wrote recently, helped produce our national “vibe shift.”
They have rarely been discussed in public, though you can catch the occasional mention in, for instance, a podcast debate between #Mark #Cuban and the Republican entrepreneur #Vivek #Ramaswamy, which started in a chat.But they are made visible through a group consensus on social media.
Their effects have ranged from the mainstreaming of the monarchist pundit #Curtis #Yarvin to a particularly focused and developed dislike of the former Washington Post writer #Taylor #Lorenz.They succeeded at avoiding leaks (until, to a modest extent, this article) in part because of Signal’s and WhatsApp’s #disappearing #message features,
and in part because the groups had formed out of a mix of fear and disdain for journalists they believed were “out to get us,” as one member put it.
“People during 2020 felt that there was a monoculture on social media, and if they didn’t agree with something, group chats became a safe space to debate that, share that, build consensus, feel that you’re not alone,”
said #Erik #Torenberg, an entrepreneur who was the first employee of the tech community hub Product Hunt.
As #Krishnan was setting up a set of tech group WhatsApp chats at a16z, #Torenberg independently founded a group of tech chats on WhatsApp and some more political Signal chats.“They’re having all the private conversations because they weren’t allowed to have the public conversations,” Andreessen told Torenberg on a recent podcast,
after claiming in the name of secrecy that he’d never heard of such groups.
“If it wasn’t for the censorship all of these conversations would have happened in public, which would have been much better.”
Their creations took off:
“It might not seem like it, because of all the sh*t that people still post on X, but the internet has fragmented,”
the Substack author #Noah #Smith wrote after my inquiries for this story spilled into public Saturday.
“Group chats are now where everything important and interesting happens.”https://www.semafor.com/article/04/27/2025/the-group-chats-that-changed-america

Around the same time, #HouseRepublicans released their report on #impeachment charges against #AlejandroMayorkas, the #Cuban-born #DHS secy who is the first #Latino to lead his dept. Using unusually loaded language for a cmte report, the panel described its action as “deporting Secretary Mayorkas from his position.”

As a Dallasite, sometimes I'm even more of a fan of The Mavericks than I am of the basketball team. This Tiny Desk concert is only 3 songs and entirely too short. But it's fantastic nevertheless.
