Parents rose before dawn, packed lunches and ironed school uniforms while navigating shortages and hours-long blackouts caused by the #Trump administration’s oil blockade.

This week, we take you inside Cuba’s first day of school-and the extraordinary effort families and teachers are making to keep children learning.

How to conserve cellphone battery when recharging options are scarce; how to preserve food when the fridge isn’t working; how to cope with the heat when air-conditioners aren’t an option; how to generate power when the whole country has almost none left.

These are the sort of tutorials that have made the Instagram feed of influencer Dayán Marrero indispensable to many Cubans as they try to adapt to the rolling electricity blackouts and fuel shortages that are increasingly part of everyday life...

As the #US-imposed #oil #blockade that is worsening the situation bites ever deeper, Marrero and his compatriots are having to get creative. Farmers pasteurize milk over charcoal fires; commuters ride solar-powered Chinese tricycles; tour guides grind coffee by hand...

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.

The 2028 Olympic Ban You Haven’t Heard of

[A video about #Cuba, hosted on the #PeerTube server #CuddlyTube, from the #news / #video collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

A new campaign by the Los Angeles-based #US Hands Off Cuba Committee is demanding that Cubans be allowed to compete in the 2028 #Olympics in Los Angeles.

The US Embassy in Havana, under #MarcoRubio’s State Department, has refused to issue visas for numerous Cuban athletes and coaches, which has stopped them from competing in pre-Olympic qualifying events. The policy punishes #athletes for political reasons and violates the Olympic Charter, which prohibits discrimination of any kind.

Activists across the US are calling on the International Olympic Committee to force Washington to issue visas so Cuban athletes can compete, and to uphold the Olympic spirit of inclusion, fair play, and global friendship.
