    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.

    What does this moment in Cuba mean to the people living through it?

    For photographer Moník Molinet, the answer begins with a pause: asking people to stop, reflect, and write down the words that honestly describe their lives. In #Havana, amid an increasingly severe social and economic crisis fueled by suffocating #US sanctions, she invited people to put their own words to the moment they are living through.

    These are their words. Their voices. Their moment.

    Words for This Moment is a photographic project by Moník Molinet, created in Havana in July, 2026. The project is a series of 50 portraits, created in collaboration with Belly of the Beast.

    The #US State Department’s latest report on Cuba revives allegations against US #solidarity activists that were made by the FBI and CIA in the 1960s and 1970s — claims historian Teishan Latner says were never proven.

    In this interview with BotB journalist Yohan Rodríguez, Latner discusses the history of US-Cuba solidarity, the #VenceremosBrigade, the #BlackPantherParty and growing pressure on people in the US who oppose Washington’s policy toward Cuba.

    He also examines whether the report is helping lay the groundwork for military action against Cuba.

    U.S. Rep. Carlos Giménez (R-FL) says Cuba’s healthcare system “sucks” and “doesn’t work,” pointing to hospitals without #medicine and deteriorating conditions.

    But this criticism leaves out a major part of the story: the policies Giménez has championed are the reason why Cuba’s #hospitals are collapsing. #US #EconomicWarfare has restricted Cuba’s ability to obtain medicines, #medical equipment, fuel and other resources needed to keep its #healthcare system running.

    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.

    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.

  21. Revolt or Die: Holding Cuba Hostage by Blockade
    znetwork.org/znetarticle/revol

    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...

    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.

    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.

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

    The #US State Department just released a 100-page report accusing Cuba of influencing virtually every major progressive movement, organization, protest and activist over the last 65 years.

    Amidst a hodgepodge of distorted history and sweeping, conspiratorial conclusions, the #Trump administration uses the report for two purposes: to justify repression at home and regime change in Cuba.

    Watch Belly of the Beast journalist Liz Oliva Fernández break down what the report says — and what it means.

    [from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

    Duration - 2:02

    #ImaniBashir is a Black American activist from Washington D.C. She visited to #Cuba following a radical political tradition, one that includes Malcolm X, Assata Shakur, and Kwame Ture, figures who understood the #CubanRevolution as part of a broader struggle for liberation.

    For Bashir, visiting Cuba wasn't just political, it was personal. Seeing #AfroCuban people, she says, was seeing people who look like her, who share her history, who have maintained their culture and dignity under decades of sanctions.

    Her argument on the #blockade is straightforward: Cuba has never been a threat to the US. It has never put #US safety, its food supply, or resources at stake. "It has only been the other way around," she says.

    PHOENIX, Arizona — As baseball fans around the world geared up for the Sixth #WorldBaseballClassic eight members of the Cuban team, along with their pitching coach and other support personnel, were denied visas to come to the United States. As a result, just 11 players were left to face a roster of 37 from the Kansas City Royals on March 3, 2026, and 33 from the Cincinnati Reds the following day.

    The visa denials were a blow not just to the Cuban team, which was forced to play at a considerable competitive disadvantage; this was a blow to #baseball fans across the board. And it ran counter to the goodwill of #MajorLeagueBaseball and the organizers of the Classic, which draws together talent from around the globe.

    ​​Cuba is once again exceeding expectations in the #WorldBaseballClassic. The Cuban team is one victory away from reaching the quarterfinals. It was unclear a few months ago whether Cuba would even play in the WBC. Not because of #baseball — but because of #US policy.

    “We were aware that there could be denials due to the US aggressive policy toward Cuba,” said the president of the Cuban Baseball and Softball Federation. In the end, the players were granted the visas, but eight Cuban staff, including a scout and a pitching coach, were denied visas.

    The #Trump administration last year blocked visas for some 100 Cuban athletes and #sports officials.
