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.”

Video - Inside Cuba’s Fuel Lines: Taxi Drivers Struggle Under U.S. Oil Blockade
https://peertube.world/w/ohzr5SRbJnC1dqDHbgKS3j
Duration - 2:53[a #video on #Peertube about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
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?”

#US sanctions and the recent #oil #blockade have not only destroyed Cuba’s economy and fueled a humanitarian crisis. They are now also blocking #HumanitarianAid meant to alleviate suffering caused by US policy.
#UN Resident Coordinator Francisco Pichón sat down with Belly of the Beast journalist Liz Oliva Fernández to explain what he's seeing on the ground: how US #sanctions, fuel shortages and what is known as “over-compliance” by banks are delaying the delivery of medicines, food and other critical supplies.
“If the fuel blockade continues, the humanitarian consequences for Cuba will grow deeper and could become irreversible,” he warned.
