    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?”

    [weekly newsletter about #Cuba from the #BellyOfTheBeast #news collective]

    Women and children have long been a priority of Cuba's universal #PublicHealth system, which operates more than 130 free #maternity homes for #women with high-risk pregnancies across the island.

    But blackouts caused by the US #oil #blockade are leaving doctors, nurses and their patients in the dark.

    Even as the Trump administration wages economic war on Cuba, people in the United States are stepping up to help sustain the island's beleaguered healthcare by bringing solar power to its maternity homes.

    “We’re not only being affected by the restrictions themselves, but what we call over-compliance,” said Pichón.

    Banks, insurers, shipping companies and logistics providers have become so afraid of violating #US sanctions that they often refuse to work with #UN agencies trying to get #humanitarian aid to Cuba. Even when shipments arrive, fuel shortages in Cuba generated by the US oil #blockade hamper aid distribution.

  31. Action Alert - Call US Senators to vote Yes on the War Powers Resolution - Hands Off Cuba!
    [taken from a post on a WhatsApp group chat]

    The Cuba War Powers resolution is coming to the floor Tuesday the 28th. Call your Senators and tell them to vote YES on S.J. Res 124, to prevent war on Cuba (202) 224-3121. This is the single most important thing you can do for Cuba. Even if you have a Republican Senator, please please call: this is a winnable vote and I don’t think I have to tell you how bad it would be if the #US invades #Cuba.

    Spread this to your chapter, to your caucus, your normie friends, all your group chats. All hands on deck!

  32. Video - From Miami to Havana: Why This Cuban American Is Speaking Out

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

    Cuban-American politicians have long been a driving force behind the US government’s #EconomicWar on the island. But many people of Cuban origin living in the US reject the hard-line policies that have ravaged the island’s economy and caused widespread scarcities and hardship.

    Danny Valdes, a Cuban American born in #Miami, recently visited Cuba with the #NuestraAméricaConvoy to help bring #HumanitarianAid to the island.

    “There is a very well organized and powerful right wing Cuban lobby, that even is in the halls of the Congress that gets to determine what #US policy is toward Cuba,” said Valdés. “But we feel like it's a very important time now to say, not in our name.”

    At the opening of the conference there were calls for dialogue to de-escalate the tensions between Cuba and the #US, with Jamaica’s prime minister Andrew Holness raising concerns about the “severe economic hardship, energy shortages and growing humanitarian strain” and its potential consequences on the wider region.

    On Friday, the chair of #Caricom, St Kitts and Nevis prime minister, Terrance Drew, said that the 15-country bloc will be responding “in a significant way to help the humanitarian situation in #Cuba” within a month.

    Feb. 26, 2026

    Yesterday, our authorities reported an attempted infiltration for terrorist purposes involving 10 individuals aboard a vessel registered in Florida, US.

    From the very outset, upon determining that the vessel had departed from US territory, Cuban authorities have maintained communication with their US counterparts—including the Department of State and the Coast Guard—regarding this terrorist attempt. An investigation is currently underway to fully clarify the facts with the utmost rigor. The Cuban government is willing to exchange information with the US government concerning this incident.

    Among other requests, we will ask the #US authorities...for information about the individuals involved, the vessel used, among other details.
