On International Workers’ Day, Trump intensified the economic war on Cuba. The new executive order criminalizes humanitarian aid, targets global solidarity, and signals possible military escalation. While the empire shows desperation, Cuba’s resilience endures. This is a crisis of U.S. imperialism, not a show of strength. . . .
Economic Sanctions
The Epstein Government of Amerika Imposes a Full Oil Blockade
The Epstein Government has imposed a full oil blockade on Cuba, weaponizing fuel access to force capitulation. From the illegal occupation of Guantánamo to colonial manipulation in Puerto Rico to anti Haitian violence in the Dominican Republic, the empire is crumbling. Cuba still stands. . . .
Sanctions on Sudan and the US War on Sudanese Unity
The U.S. has reimposed countrywide sanctions on Sudan, accelerating hyperinflation, famine, and the collapse of healthcare. These sanctions are not about peace or civilian protection. They are part of a decades long hybrid warfare strategy to balkanize Sudan, weaken its people, and crush the revolutionary potential that threatens U.S. regional hegemony. . . .
How Being in Cuba Shifted My Understanding of U.S. Imperialism
Being in Cuba shifted everything I thought I knew. I saw the cruelty of the U.S. blockade firsthand: trash piling up, days without power, people who can’t flush toilet paper because of our government. But I also saw something I didn’t expect: Cuban people who don’t hate Americans. They know who their enemy is, and it’s not us. Now I carry the responsibility to tell the truth about Cuba. . . .
Why Are You Actually Mad about Viktor Bout?
The news of Britney Griner’s release in exchange for Russian Viktor Bout was met with some very interesting and troubling conversation at least in the social media world yesterday.

I had several people comment that because Bout is such a bad guy because he is a “convicted arms dealer,” they had nothing to celebrate since he was released. Oh, celebrating Britney . . .
The Venceremos Brigade & the Necessity of Solidarity with Cuba
The Venceremos Brigade (VB) is the youngest and oldest Cuba solidarity delegation in the US. By that I mean the VB, whose name means the “We Shall Overcome” Brigade, is the longest running US-Cuba solidarity delegation in existence with a base of brigadistas who are predominantly African, Indigenous, Chicanx, poor, working class, queer, and trans young people. The Venceremos Brigade was formed in 1969 by a group of US-based students and activists who wanted to show their solidarity with the Cuban revolution while also challenging imperialist US policy towards Cuba, including the genocidal economic blockade and the US government’s ban . . .
Cuba Burns and the US Stokes the Flames
The All-African People’s Revolutionary Party and the All-African Women’s Revolutionary Union would like to express our total solidarity with the Cuban people and their revolution as they battle a major ongoing disaster in the province of Matanzas that has been greatly exacerbated by the genocidal US economic blockade. On Friday August 5th, 2022 lightning struck a major oil storage facility in Matanzas, a province in the western part of Cuba. The lightning ignited a fire at the facility that killed several people, wounded over a hundred more, and sent a large cloud of smoke containing hazardous chemicals into the atmosphere, . . .
