  1. Video - US Voices Against the Blockade | Episode 3: Justine Medina
    peertube.world/w/2S27HG4E8Mih5
    Duration - 2:06

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

    Justine Medina is a barista and Cuban-American activist opposed to the embargo imposed by the #US government on Cuba, the island she considers her other homeland.

    After multiple visits to Cuba, she says conditions have worsened: food shortages, scarcity of medicine and constant blackouts that make daily life harder.

    According to Justine, this war, which has lasted 66 years and has intensified over time, only causes more suffering for the people.

    “I grew up hearing criticism of the Cuban government,” says Justine, who was raised in Florida. “But I also learned that the #embargo should end.”

    Thousands of Cubans marched this Friday to the José Martí Anti-Imperialist Tribune in Havana, in front of the #US Embassy, as well as to squares and parks across the rest of the country, to celebrate #MayDay.

    “Cuba defends itself” was the slogan of the marches, as thousands took to the streets in support of the Cuban Revolution and rejection of U.S. economic warfare and military.

    This year’s May Day marches take place amid a deepening economic crisis marked by shortages of medicine, food and fuel that have been brought about in large part by U.S. sanctions.

  5. [#Cuba]From the working-class heart of the United States: voices in search of truth and solidarity
    groups.io/g/cubanews/message/5

    article from #Trabajadores, offical organ of the Cuban Workers' Federation (CTC)
    April 26, 2026

    The presence of the United States delegation at the Union Internship organized annually by the Cuban Workers' Federation (CTC) takes on special significance in the context of the May Day celebrations. Coordinated by activist Mark Friedman, founder of the #HandsOffCubaCommittee, some fifty visitors have arrived with a clear purpose: to understand the Cuban reality, to exchange ideas with its people, and to take back a perspective that is certainly different from the one that prevails in their own country.

    [translated from #CUBADEBATE by Walter Lippmann for CubaNews]

    The Interreligious Dialogue Platform in #Cuba once again raised its voice and prayers to express the concern and rejection of the island's #religious community regarding the current escalation of violence that undermines the self-determination and sovereignty of peoples.

    The statement emphasized that, as men and women of #faith, we understand that peace is not simply the absence of war, but the presence of justice and sacred respect for life.

  8. From beauty to transportation, a lack of water and power forces Cubans to change their routines

    from #AssociatedPress #AP
    April 23, 2026 [with video]

    Severe shortages of water, power and money combined with a #US #energy #blockade have deepened poverty and increased hunger across the island as severe blackouts persist. Even those who are more affluent are now eliminating long-established and often beloved routines as they adapt to increasingly dire realities.

    #Cuba’s government has said that the elimination of the U.S. energy #embargo was a top priority for its delegation, calling it an “act of economic coercion” and “unjustified punishment.”

    Hundreds of Cubans gathered in Havana to mark the 65th anniversary of #FidelCastro’s declaration of the #socialist character of the Cuban Revolution.

    Iván Domínguez Rivera, sugar industry #union leader, described the event as an affirmation of national unity at a time of economic hardship and renewed threats from Washington.

    Participants also condemned the U.S. government’s #EconomicWarfare, intensified in recent months by fuel restrictions that have deepened shortages across the island.

    “No threat will prevent the unity of these people,” Domínguez said.

    peertube.world/w/j3V8K63g6adyS

    [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.”

    “Cuba has always loomed large in the U.S. imagination,” says Mikael Wolfe, director of Stanford University’s Cuba Observatory. For decades, U.S. policy toward Cuba has been shaped by sanctions, pressure and political narratives that rarely face serious scrutiny. Wolfe explains how those narratives were built, why they persist and who pays the price.

    We ask him why, if coercive measures haven’t worked for more than half a century, does Washington keep doubling down?
