    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.

  7. Video - Cuba Foreign Minister: U.S War Doesn’t Hurt the Government, it PUNISHES THE PEOPLE

    [a #video on #Peertube about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

    Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla on Monday denounced the U.S. war on Cuba as collective punishment. He said the blockade punished the people, not the government, and cost the country $8 billion in the last year.

    Despite a U.S. #oil #blockade and #sanctions, 1.4 million Cuban students returned to school this week after a long, sweltering summer.

    Families rose before dawn, prepared uniforms and packed school bags while navigating hours-long blackouts and shortages.

    We take you inside Cuba’s first day of school — and the extraordinary effort families and teachers make to keep children learning.

  10. Video - U.S. Sabotages Cuba’s Hospitals — Then Calls Universal Healthcare a Failure

    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.

  11. Video - Cuba Can’t Keep the Lights On. Rubio Says It’s a Superpower

    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.

    The #US is sending humanitarian aid to vulnerable Cuban families while its policies continue to deepen the crisis affecting them. We went to Bejucal to see what happened when the aid arrived.

  13. Goodwill or Good Marketing? The Contradiction Of U.S. Aid To Cuba

    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.

    Open Arms @openarmsong set sail across the Atlantic carrying seven tons of #SolarPanels, batteries and #medical supplies bound for a children’s #hospital thousands of miles away.

    This hospital, which treats children with cancer, neurological conditions and severe burns, is facing its biggest challenge: a lack of electricity.

    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.

  17. #Video - Mexico Defends Cuba Oil Shipments as Humanitarian Aid
    peertube.world/w/gZEkh2Vm5cRRN

    [from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

    After headlines suggested #Mexico had suspended oil shipments to #Cuba, President #ClaudiaSheinbaum stepped in once again to clarify what actually happened.

    Sheinbaum explained that #oil from Mexico reaches Cuba through two paths: contracts managed by state-owned oil corporation #Pemex, and humanitarian aid decided directly by the Mexican government. Neither, she said, has been halted.

    The confusion comes at a critical moment for Cuba, as #US sanctions tighten and fuel shortages deepen. Sheinbaum emphasized again that humanitarian aid is a sovereign decision and will continue.

  18. Mexican president says her country has paused oil shipments to Cuba

    [very bad news]

    from #NPR #NationalPublicRadio [USA]
    January 28, 20262:44 AM ET
    By The #AssociatedPress

    MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican President #ClaudiaSheinbaum said Tuesday her government has at least temporarily stopped oil shipments to #Cuba, but struck an ambiguous tone, saying the pause was part of general fluctuations in oil supplies and that it was a "sovereign decision" not made under pressure from the United States.

    Sheinbaum was responding to inquiries on whether the state oil company #Pemex had cut off oil shipments to Cuba in the wake of mounting pressure from #US President Donald #Trump that #Mexico distance itself from the Cuban government...
