    Video - US Voices Against the Blockade | Episode 3: Justine Medina
    peertube.world/w/2S27HG4E8Mih5
    Duration - 2:06

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

    Justine Medina is a barista and Cuban-American activist opposed to the embargo imposed by the #US government on Cuba, the island she considers her other homeland.

    After multiple visits to Cuba, she says conditions have worsened: food shortages, scarcity of medicine and constant blackouts that make daily life harder.

    According to Justine, this war, which has lasted 66 years and has intensified over time, only causes more suffering for the people.

    “I grew up hearing criticism of the Cuban government,” says Justine, who was raised in Florida. “But I also learned that the #embargo should end.”

    The #US #blockade of fuel to #Cuba, on top of the longest embargo in modern US history, defies the norms of international law that provide for state sovereignty, nonintervention in domestic affairs and the right of nations to trade freely. It amounts to an economic assault on the basic infrastructure of Cuba, designed to inflict collective punishment on the civilian population by manufacturing a humanitarian crisis in which #HealthCare, running water, agriculture and transportation are no longer available.

    President #MiguelDíazCanelBermúdez of #Cuba on Saturday responded with stark and defiant words to the latest attacks coming from #US President Donald #Trump, who on Friday signed a new executive order authorizing even more aggressive sanctions against the island nation and later threatened to invade the country.

    Video - In the face of U.S. aggression, Cubans march on May Day
    peertube.world/w/fjfMzj22Azifn
    Duration - 1:06 

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

    Thousands of Cubans marched this Friday to the José Martí Anti-Imperialist Tribune in Havana, in front of the #US Embassy, as well as to squares and parks across the rest of the country, to celebrate #MayDay.

    “Cuba defends itself” was the slogan of the marches, as thousands took to the streets in support of the Cuban Revolution and rejection of U.S. economic warfare and military.

    This year’s May Day marches take place amid a deepening economic crisis marked by shortages of medicine, food and fuel that have been brought about in large part by U.S. sanctions.

    Action Alert - Call US Senators to vote Yes on the War Powers Resolution - Hands Off Cuba!
    [taken from a post on a WhatsApp group chat]

    The Cuba War Powers resolution is coming to the floor Tuesday the 28th. Call your Senators and tell them to vote YES on S.J. Res 124, to prevent war on Cuba (202) 224-3121. This is the single most important thing you can do for Cuba. Even if you have a Republican Senator, please please call: this is a winnable vote and I don’t think I have to tell you how bad it would be if the #US invades #Cuba.

    Spread this to your chapter, to your caucus, your normie friends, all your group chats. All hands on deck!

    [#Cuba]From the working-class heart of the United States: voices in search of truth and solidarity
    groups.io/g/cubanews/message/5

    article from #Trabajadores, offical organ of the Cuban Workers' Federation (CTC)
    April 26, 2026

    The presence of the United States delegation at the Union Internship organized annually by the Cuban Workers' Federation (CTC) takes on special significance in the context of the May Day celebrations. Coordinated by activist Mark Friedman, founder of the #HandsOffCubaCommittee, some fifty visitors have arrived with a clear purpose: to understand the Cuban reality, to exchange ideas with its people, and to take back a perspective that is certainly different from the one that prevails in their own country.

    Cuban faith community reiterates condemnation of #US escalation of violence
    groups.io/g/cubanews/message/5
    April 26, 2026

    [translated from #CUBADEBATE by Walter Lippmann for CubaNews]

    The Interreligious Dialogue Platform in #Cuba once again raised its voice and prayers to express the concern and rejection of the island's #religious community regarding the current escalation of violence that undermines the self-determination and sovereignty of peoples.

    The statement emphasized that, as men and women of #faith, we understand that peace is not simply the absence of war, but the presence of justice and sacred respect for life.

    Being a #trans #athlete means carrying more than gloves. It means carrying expectations, fear and responsibility. Malik speaks openly about facing #transphobia and machismo in Sanda’s sport, being pushed past ethical boundaries and the pressure of being the first, knowing that others will come after him. Malik reminds us that trans people don’t need to prove anything. Their existence is already enough.

    From beauty to transportation, a lack of water and power forces Cubans to change their routines
    apnews.com/article/cuba-power-

    from #AssociatedPress #AP
    April 23, 2026 [with video]

    Severe shortages of water, power and money combined with a #US #energy #blockade have deepened poverty and increased hunger across the island as severe blackouts persist. Even those who are more affluent are now eliminating long-established and often beloved routines as they adapt to increasingly dire realities.

    #Cuba’s government has said that the elimination of the U.S. energy #embargo was a top priority for its delegation, calling it an “act of economic coercion” and “unjustified punishment.”

    Video - Cuba Marks 65 Years of Socialism Amid Shortages and U.S. Threats
    peertube.world/w/5khProaKY76tY
    Duration - 2:28 

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

    Hundreds of Cubans gathered in Havana to mark the 65th anniversary of #FidelCastro’s declaration of the #socialist character of the Cuban Revolution.

    Iván Domínguez Rivera, sugar industry #union leader, described the event as an affirmation of national unity at a time of economic hardship and renewed threats from Washington.

    Participants also condemned the U.S. government’s #EconomicWarfare, intensified in recent months by fuel restrictions that have deepened shortages across the island.

    “No threat will prevent the unity of these people,” Domínguez said.

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

    In her visit to Cuba, Rep. #PramilaJayapal (D-WA) says dialogue and cooperation would benefit both countries.

    Based on what she observed on the island, Jayapal says the #oil #blockade imposed by the #US government is contributing to a humanitarian crisis in Cuba.

    She also pointed to a new letter signed by 52 lawmakers calling for an end to the measure, arguing it reflects a failed US policy toward Cuba.

    Cuban Gov’t: ‘Bay of Pigs Is Today and Forever!’
    [statement]
    world-outlook.com/2026/04/17/c

    from #WorldOutlook
    April 17, 2026

    #Cuba is living under the constant siege of the US government, whose escalating threats have intensified in recent months. In addition to the brutal #energy blockade, which exacerbates the genocidal policy of #embargo of the last six decades, there are the declarations by representatives of the #US government elite regarding intentions of #military aggression.

    The material and human cost of this blockade is a disgrace borne by the government of the greatest empire of all time. It is an illegal and inhumane act, a violation of international law, condemned every year by almost all member states of the # UnitedNations and, as recent polls have confirmed, rejected by the majority of the people of the land of Lincoln.

    Refuting Slanders Against #NuestraAméricaConvoy to Cuba
    The media’s sleaziest propagandists are mad about the recent aid mission to #Cuba, smearing activists who brought supplies. They’re trying to distract from the real story: the inhuman denial of fuel by the #US .

    Live fish dying slowly in tanks filled with stagnant green water. Shopkeepers losing all of their refrigerated and frozen food. Taxi drivers calling out desperately for a fare, because tourism to the island has shrunk to a trickle. Restaurants having to close in the middle of a busy dinner service after losing power mid-meal. The look of worry on medical workers’ faces, as they contemplate rationing their remaining antibiotics or painkillers.

    Video - Why US Policy Toward Cuba Violates International Law
    peertube.world/w/fa5TjLFy31bJY
    Duration - 19:24

    [a #video about #Cuba from the #BellyOfTheBeast]

    For more than six decades, #US policy toward #Cuba has relied on #EconomicWarfare instead of diplomacy. The US claims to target the #Cuban government but ends up hurting the lives of millions of civilians.

    Int'l law expert Alfred de Zayas speaks to BotB on #Trump’s latest executive order, which allows him to slap tariffs on any country that ships #oil to Cuba, and how the policy violates #InternationalLaw. He explains the difference between #sanctions and unilateral coercive measures, and how the devastating measures are really a form of collective punishment.

    “We are witnessing an assault on the #UN Charter, on international law, and on civilization itself,” warns Professor Alfred de Zayas.

    “The only way to really understand the impact, the humanitarian crisis we’ve created, is by being here and talking to the Cuban people,” said Jayapal.
    After their visit, both lawmakers described what they saw as a humanitarian crisis.
