"The blockade is warfare.”
That’s how Greg Levi describes #US policy toward Cuba after traveling to the island and seeing its impact firsthand.
Levi, a #socialist candidate for the #USSenate in #Ohio, talked with BotB journalist Liz Oliva Fernández about what he saw in Cuban #hospitals and communities, why he believes US citizens don’t know much about Cuba, and why he refuses to stay silent despite the political risks.
He also opens up about his working-class roots, his experience in the US military, his criticism of US democracy and why he chose to run for Senate as an independent socialist.

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.

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.

https://peertube.world/w/nbK89tf9rvvdhULkv6zg7V
Duration - 20:33[a #video on #Peertube about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
Camila Guevara Milanés is a Cuban#singer-#songwriter carrying two of the most iconic last names in #LatinAmerican history. She is the granddaughter of #ErnestoCheGuevara and the Cuban troubadour #PabloMilanés.
But this story isn’t about her grandparents. It’s about a young artist finding her own voice.
In this conversation with Belly of the Beast journalist Liz Oliva Fernández, Camila reflects on the loss of her parents and grandfather, the healing process behind her debut album Dame Flores, and the challenge of building a career while carrying a legacy that follows her everywhere.
“I do have something to offer people and I’m enjoying myself while doing it. So, that’s what I came here to do,” she said.

June 10, 2026As of Wednesday, more than 8,000 #Italian #medical and scientific professionals have signed an open letter acknowledging their indebtedness to #Cuban #doctors and condemning the tightening of the 65-year US embargo on #Cuba by President Donald #Trump as he threatens “take” the island.
“Over the decades, Cuba has built a health system that was considered an international model, capable of guaranteeing universal access to care even in limited resource conditions. Since 1963, more than 600,000 Cuban health workers have served in more than 160 countries, including #Italy,” states the letter addressed to Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Health Minister Orazio Schillaci.

Video - How U.S. Sanctions Affect Pregnant Women and Newborns in Cuba
https://peertube.world/w/cx4rvNyGxnwWSDXone8A2M
Duration - 1:23[a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
In recent days, #Cuban civil society organizations have denounced the devastating impact of the #US government’s economic war on the Cuban people.
Dr. Dayana Couto Núñez, president of the Cuban Society of #Gynecology and #Obstetrics, says shortages of medicines, medical supplies, technology and fuel are affecting surgeries, ultrasounds, diagnostic tests and maternal care.
According to Couto, the situation is making it harder to detect congenital malformations early and to care for premature and low-birth-weight babies, who often require specialized medication and high-tech equipment.
“Neither our women nor our children are to blame,” she said. “They need #medical care, #medicines and quality resources.”

Video - Why is the #US Indicting Raúl Castro 30 Years After the Fact?
https://peertube.world/w/7oTaQKVNf4YBYRYhsbBQhd
Duration - 3:41[a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
The Justice Department has indicted #RaúlCastro for something that occurred three decades ago — and the Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche says he’s not sure why.
The reason the #Trump administration is targeting Castro 30 years after the shooting down of the #BrothersToTheRescue planes has little to do with the pursuit of justice and everything to do with the pursuit of regime change in Cuba.

Video - Rubio Says There’s No Oil Blockade on Cuba. Cubans Disagree
https://peertube.world/w/3TTCtPWBXk4Q5Nx3tRBpXw
Duration - 2:04[a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
#US Secretary of State #MarcoRubio posted a video on May 20 addressed directly to the #Cuban people, claiming the blackouts have nothing to do with the US #OilBlockade.
We took to the streets to #Havana to see what people thought of his speech. Most hadn’t seen it.
“It’s just that I despise Marco Rubio so much that it’s not even worth listening to anything he says,” said Lucía Miret, 76, a retired teacher.
Most of those who saw it, rejected Rubio’s claim.
“It’s no secret to anyone that the blockade exists,” said Daimara Pérez, a doctor. “If the blockade didn’t exist then they should let the ships in.”
