"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.

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla on Monday denounced the U.S. war on Cuba as collective punishment. He said the blockade punished the people, not the government, and cost the country $8 billion in the last year.

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.

Video - "Solidarity Is Not a Crime" [Cuba]
https://peertube.world/w/kn365P9Et6nKCQxiA3NKye
Duration - 27:00[a #video on #Peertube about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
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.

Video - U.S. Sabotages Cuba’s Hospitals — Then Calls Universal Healthcare a Failure
https://peertube.world/w/vNxwt6wKcW8FqzTVMApdh3
Duration - 1:47[a #video on #Peertube about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Duration - 3:23[a #video from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
After more than two decades away, #CubanAmerican teacher and activist Lavender returned to #Cuba, the place her family always considered home.
Walking through Havana, she reflected on identity, belonging and the complicated relationship many Cuban Americans have with the island.
She spoke about the changes she has witnessed in Cuba, including the evolution of attitudes toward #LGBTQ+ people, and why she believes listening to ordinary Cubans is essential.
“I stand proud, and I stand tall because that’s what Cuba taught me,” she said.

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 - Thousands March in Havana After US Indictment of Raúl Castro
https://peertube.world/w/kJo2euNThVjvciNuZj5Jcp
Duration - 2:17[a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
Thousands of Cubans gathered at #Havana’s José Martí Anti-Imperialist Tribune on Friday after the US Department of Justice indicted #Cuba’s former President #RaúlCastro over the 1996 shoot-down of two small planes operated by pilots of the #Miami-based group #BrothersToTheRescue.
“We had the right to defend ourselves,” said Adalgisa Durán Vargas, referring to repeated warnings Cuba made to the #US about repeated provocative incursions into Cuban airspace made by Brothers to the Rescue to provoke a confrontation with the Cuban government.
At the rally, speakers defended Raúl Castro’s historic role in the Cuban Revolution and questioned the legitimacy of the US accusations nearly three decades after the fact.

Raúl Castro’s Indictment and Washington’s Double Standard on Terrorism
https://belly-of-the-beast.kit.com/posts/raul-castro-s-indictment-and-washington-s-double-standard-on-terrorism[weekly newsletter about #Cuba (with YouTube #video links) from the #BellyOfTheBeast #news collective. Their videos can also be found at: https://peertube.world/c/cuba_botb_videos/videos]
May 20, 2026The Justice Department is set to indict former Cuban President #RaúlCastro today over the 1996 shoot-down of two #BrothersToTheRescue planes — a case that has been a politically charged flashpoint in US-Cuba relations for nearly three decades.
So far, the coverage by corporate media outlets has left out critical context: repeated provocations and incursions, numerous warnings by Cuban authorities, years of violent attacks against Cuba originating from South Florida and the #US government’s refusal to restrain an extremist group openly seeking confrontation.

Cuba: Declassified Records on the #BrothersToTheRescue Shootdown
On Eve of #RaulCastro Indictment, Archive Posts Declassified #FAA Documents on Events Leading to Shootdown of Cuban Exile Planes
FAA Emails Foresaw “Worst Case Scenario”
“One of these days the Cubans will shoot down one of these planes”

May 19, 2026FAA emails, memos, and communications recorded concerns among high-level Clinton administration officials that repeated penetrations of Cuban airspace would eventually lead to a crisis if #Cuba acted to protect its territorial integrity from provocative BTTR incursions. “A major fear is the possible downing of a BTTR aircraft by land-based gunfire,” a summary of an August 1995 meeting with White House officials stated.
The documents offer a detailed historical context in which the aerial violence against the civilian aircraft occurred.
