    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.

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

    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.

  18. 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.

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

    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.

  25. Syringes donated to Cuba stuck in Jamaica, because of US sanctions

    from Punto y Aparte on FB July 18, 2026
    [en español - expressional.social/@Peter_Lin]

    ⚠️ 3.5 million syringes remain in Jamaica, due to the refusal of a French shipping company to bring them to #Cuba

    Due to #sanctions imposed by the #US government, the French shipping company CMA CGM recently canceled the transfer of cargo to #Cuba; and left dozens of containers in Kingston, #Jamaica, that were supposed to arrive in our country, including one with 3.5 million syringes and needles donated by the Spanish non-governmental organization SODePAZ to #PublicHealth institutions in Santiago de Cuba.

    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.

    Cuba’s Foreign Minister Calls Out Hypocrisy of US Claims Over Blockade

    from #WorldOutlook
    July 12, 2026

    UNITED NATIONS, NEW YORK CITY, July 7, 2026 — In a diplomatic offensive aimed at challenging the #US economic war against #Cuba, Cuba’s foreign minister #BrunoRodríguezParilla requested a session of the #UNGeneralAssembly to re-open debate on ending the US blockade of the island. US secretary of state #MarcoRubio actively and aggressively opposed the proposal. But an overwhelming majority of #UN member states approved Cuba’s request to hold the debate. 136 voted in favor, 9 against, and 30 abstained. A win for Cuba! This is an eyewitness report on the debate that followed.

    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.

    Cuba’s Foreign Minister #BrunoRodríguez accused the U.S. State Department of carrying out “pressure, blackmail and threats” to derail a debate about the U.S. blockade at the #UnitedNations General Assembly on July 7.

    According to Rodríguez, the #US State Department is pressuring governments to prevent the session from taking place. He also claimed that Washington is circulating documents urging countries not to support Cuba at the #UN.

    Electric tricycles have exploded across Cuba as the country faces extreme fuel shortages due to the #US-imposed #oil #blockade. But blackouts now last so long — 20 or more hours a day — there isn’t enough electricity to charge them.

    So drivers are now installing #SolarPanels on top of their tricycles.

    “As long as the sun is out, it’s charging the battery,” says Evanys Peréz. “Now we can travel up to 90 miles.”

    from #NationalNursesUnited (on FB)

    #Nurses save lives! That's why we're in D.C. demanding the #US end the #blockade of fuel entering #Cuba. This is fuel that powers water pumps and #hospitals that 11 million people depend on. Surgeries postponed. Essential #medicines gone. Infant mortality doubled. Enough!

    Foreign companies are pulling out of Cuba.

    After Trump signed an executive order on May 1 threatening #sanctions on anyone doing business in Cuba, companies from Canada, Spain, France, Germany and Australia fled the island.

    So who benefits when foreign investors leave?

    BotB journalist Yohan Rodríguez breaks it all down.

    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.”

  37. #Video - US Voices Against the Blockade Episode 2: Imani Bashir

    [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.
