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...

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 Cubans Want to Say About Life in Cuba Today

Duration - 5:16

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

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 - Italians Thank the Cuban Doctors Working in Calabria
peertube.world/w/9CaBHqEwssVRo…
Duration - 1:51

[from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

Cuban #medical workers have served on international cooperation missions in more than 150 countries since the 1960s.

During Covid, a #Cuban medical brigade helped #Italians in Lombardy, which triggered #Calabria’s president Roberto Occhiuto to reach out to Cuba in 2022 to invite hundreds of #doctors to his region. Calabria is one of the poorest regions in Italy and its #healthcare has suffered greatly from staffing and other issues.

“Cuba will always be in my heart,” says an elderly Italian man whose life was saved by a Cuban doctor.

See the full-length documentary film “From Cuba to Calabria: Medical Missions in Times of Crisis.”

from #CommonDreams
June 10, 2026

As of Wednesday, more than 8,000 #Italian #medical and scientific professionals have signed an open letter acknowledging their indebtedness to #Cuban #doctors and condemning the tightening of the 65-year US embargo on #Cuba by President Donald #Trump as he threatens “take” the island.

“Over the decades, Cuba has built a health system that was considered an international model, capable of guaranteeing universal access to care even in limited resource conditions.

peertube.world/w/w8GVWrZqzJmy9…
Duration - 9:17

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

Donald #Trump has justified economic warfare against Cuba, including the #oil #blockade, in the claim that the island somehow represents a national emergency for the #US.

From drones to Chinese and Russian spy bases to Hamas and Hezbollah, Trump and #MarcoRubio have thrown the kitchen sink at Cuba to portray it as a national security threat.

BotB journalist Liz Oliva Fernández debunks six of the reasons the Trump administration has given to claim that a small island of 10 million people is threatening the most powerful country in the world.

Sanctions Kill. I Have Watched Them Do It.

[very powerful, beautifully written account by a Cuban doctor, about much more than just the sanctions.]

By an Anonymous Cuban #Surgeon

This article was originally published by CounterPunch.

Last month, I operated on an elderly man with a perforated peptic ulcer. The surgery was textbook. I closed his abdomen cleanly, without complication. We had antibiotics available that time. What we did not have was intravenous crystalloid fluid for resuscitation. It’s the most basic of solutions, cheap enough to cost almost nothing, yet essential enough to save almost everything. It exists. It is manufactured in Santiago de Cuba, 500 miles away. It could not reach Havana since there was no petroleum to transport it. By the time it arrived, my patient had died.

*Raising funds for medical aid for Cuba! *
Thanks to connections made in Mexico (and thanks to their affordable and accessible meds as well as consistent aid deliveries), we're now able to have urgently needed #MedicalAid sent directly to the National #Healthcare #Workers #Union of #Cuba. 100% of funds raised go towards #medical supplies (purchased at-cost) to be delivered via the frequent aid ships provided by #Mexico 🇲🇽🤝🇨🇺❤️‍🩹

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.”
