Havana’s Solar-Powered Answer to the Garbage Crisis
https://belly-of-the-beast.kit.com/posts/havana-s-solar-powered-answer-to-the-garbage-crisisAugust 20, 2026
[weekly newsletter about #Cuba from the #BellyOfTheBeast #news collective. Their videos can be found at: https://peertube.world/c/cuba_botb_videos/videos]Trash is piling up across #Havana because the city’s garbage trucks have run out of fuel.
But in one neighborhood, garbage collection now runs on #SolarPower.
As the #US #oil #blockade keeps fuel from reaching Cuba, one local business is finding a new way to keep the streets clean.

#Rubio Promises Cuba a Better Future — in a Box
https://belly-of-the-beast.kit.com/posts/rubio-promises-cuba-a-better-future-in-a-boxAugust 13, 2026
[weekly newsletter about #Cuba from the #BellyOfTheBeast #news collective. Their videos can be found at: https://peertube.world/c/cuba_botb_videos/videos]The #Trump administration is touting a $100 million aid package for Cuba, most of which is being distributed by #CatholicChurch charities.
But the aid is a drop in the bucket compared to the damage caused by #US# sanctions and an #oil #blockade that has plunged the country into a humanitarian crisis.
In our latest video, Belly of the Beast journalist Yohan Rodríguez reports from Bejucal, a town on the outskirts of Havana, where residents welcomed the food kits but questioned the policies that made the aid necessary.

Video - Cuba Can’t Keep the Lights On. Rubio Says It’s a Superpower
https://peertube.world/w/fJgfR2tiGPiBjtpGBeAGo6
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.

Revolt or Die: Holding Cuba Hostage by Blockade
https://znetwork.org/znetarticle/revolt-or-die-holding-cuba-hostage-by-blockade/August 19, 2026
In 1960, Undersecretary of State Lester Mallory wrote it with a clarity his successors have never matched: the objective of the #Blockade against #Cuba is to “deny money and supplies, decrease monetary and real wages, bring about hunger, desperation and the overthrow of the government.” No ambiguity. No euphemism. Hunger and desperation are the means. Overthrow is the end.
International law calls genocide the deliberate destruction of a national group. The 1948 Convention explicitly includes “deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.” Mallory described exactly that in 1960 not as a side effect...

Goodwill or Good Marketing? The Contradiction Of U.S. Aid To Cuba
https://peertube.world/w/rWJbEPAx1eMn65mGQYNmku
Duration - 12:08[a #video on #Peertube about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
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.

The Crab, the Vampire, and Social Differentiation in Cuba
https://world-outlook.com/2026/08/14/the-crab-the-vampire-and-social-differentiation-in-cuba/This article addresses a widespread controversy in #Cuba, sparked by the participation of #RaúlGuillermoRodríguezCastro in Cuba’s negotiations with the #US government in May. Known as Raulito, or “El Cangrejo” — “The Crab” — Rodríguez Castro is the grandson of #RaúlCastro, a central leader of the Cuban Revolution and a former president of Cuba. Many Cubans questioned or objected to Rodríguez Castro’s participation in such high-level talks because he does not hold any elected or other formal position in the Cuban government and because his public conduct renders him “a symbol of wealthy partygoers, the type who wore designer clothes and flashy jewelry, imitating the mannerisms of the moneyed North,” in the words of Michel Torres Corona, this article's author, who is a well-known Cuban TV host and a staunch supporter of the #CubanRevolution.

Rubio’s Regime Change Plans — and the Media Selling Them
https://belly-of-the-beast.kit.com/posts/rubio-s-regime-change-plans-and-the-media-selling-them[weekly newsletter about #Cuba from the #BellyOfTheBeast #news collective. Their videos can be found at: https://peertube.world/c/cuba_botb_videos/videos]
August 8, 2026The #Trump administration's Cuba playbook made its way into major #US media outlets this week.
Anonymous US officials detailed intelligence operations, possible military action and the "hunt" for Cuba's next leader.
The articles read less like journalistic scoops than messages Secretary of State #MarcoRubio wants delivered, with the reporters serving as couriers. As one anonymous official told Axios about a leak, the administration is simply “letting the regime know we’re watching.”

Media outlets, including Belly of the Beast, are also implicated in the vast conspiratorial screed, which one member of Congress has called the “stupidest” thing he’s ever read.

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.

Cut Off From Fuel, Cuba Is Still Surviving
President Trump has tried to strangle #Cuba by blocking its #oil imports. But 6 months later, the island is finding ways to endure.

July 27, 2026...After a week on the ground, we found that while Cubans are clearly suffering, they are also doing what perhaps they do best: adapting.
They are swapping their gas-guzzling 1950s American cars for electric motorcycles and rickshaws from China; importing hefty lithium batteries to keep televisions and fans running through blackouts; jury-rigging generators to run on more accessible natural gas; and installing #SolarPanels on rooftops and even vehicles.
Together, the workarounds amount to a new Cuban energy grid — this one more in the hands of the Cuban people, propping up society with the electricity off and fuel lines dry.

from La Jornada on FB July 24, 2026
[translated from Spanish by FB]Social organizations hope that the march in defense of #Cuba this Sunday in #MexicoCity will be massive, with a participation higher than that they have had in the mobilizations held every July 26 for decades, mainly to protest the hardening of Donald #Trump's government policy against the island and Washington's measures aimed at other countries and progressive movements.
Olivia Garza Joa, vice president of the Association of Cubans Resident in #Mexico José Martí, explained that for more than a month, solidarity organizations with Cuba, social movements, urban and popular collectives, #unions, parties and other groups have come together to organize a unitary march.

Cuba’s Foreign Ministry denounces slanderous campaign by the U.S. State Department
Statement from the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly rejecting the new slanderous campaign by the US Department of State against the island, published in its entirety on the Cubaminrex website.
https://www.radiohc.cu/cubas-foreign-ministry-denounces-slanderous-campaign-by-the-u-s-state-department/#pll_switcherJuly 21, 2026
Cuba rejects, in the strongest terms, the report published on July 20 by the United States Department of State, concerning Cuba’s alleged subversive influence against that country. It is a mediocre propaganda pamphlet. It seeks to bolster the mendacious message that Cuba constitutes a threat to the United States, a pretext that the #US government uses for collective punishment and genocide against the Cuban people. It aims, through the construction of accusatory narratives, to fabricate support for a possible military aggression.

US lawmakers Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI), Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández (D-NM), and Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL) gave an exclusive interview to BotB during their recent visit to Havana.
Their trip to Cuba comes as the #Trump administration ramps up its #oil #blockade and economic war on the island, which it has justified by claiming that Cuba poses a threat to #US national security.
After meeting with doctors, farmers, entrepreneurs, diplomats and ordinary Cubans, the lawmakers accused Donald Trump and #MarcoRubio of pushing a “false narrative.”
“Walking through a #hospital that is dark and empty because we've cut off energy, we’ve cut off fuel,” said Leger Fernández. “Why would Americans support that?”
