Cecilia’s view of the Caracas Valley
I met Cecilia Todd at her modest home in Caracas, where the greatest luxury is not material but the view: the entire valley fits into a single glance if you step out onto the terrace. There, among flowers, orchids, and marjoram plants, rises a citrusy, delicious scent that I now recognize as belonging to this city. Cecilia’s house is a small showcase of her life: the records, the instruments, the books. It reveals an artist who never needed to call attention to herself in order to become indispensable. (more…)

Washington and New York. Millions of protesters participated in what organizers claim to be the largest day of protest in the country’s history, in repudiation of Donald Trump and his administration’s right-wing agenda—including their attacks on immigrants, unions, and free speech—as well as to demand an end to wars and military interventions and to resist what they call growing authoritarianism in the United States.

Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, recently gave an interview to Spanish political scientist Pablo Iglesias Turrión on the digital platform Canal Red, which was broadcast on the Cuban Mesa Redonda program.
The dialogue addressed issues related to the current situation in Cuba, the impact of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States government, and recent acts of international solidarity.
The conversation offers insight into the internal and external challenges facing the Caribbean nation, as well as the government’s stance regarding the humanitarian flotilla that took place in recent days.
This is a very long and comprehensive discussion that allowed for the Cuban President to lay out in an informal way the Cuban reality and resilience of its people in the shadow of the empire. I encourage you to read it in its entirety. – Resumen editorial. (more…)

The real Nicaragua: A march in solidarity with Venezuela and with Palestine (photo: El 19).
United Nations “experts” on Nicaragua, working to sanitize the effects of a failed, U.S.-inspired coup attempt, have not visited the country since the violence occurred eight years ago.Yet, for them, Nicaragua is “a giant prison” in which the Sandinista government “has effectively taken its own population hostage.” (more…)

Cuba’s victory in the Bay of Pigs invasion.
The first time I saw a tank was on the streets of Sancti Spíritus, the city in the center of the island where I was born. It was April 1975, and with the fall of Saigon, Vietnam’s victory was being celebrated after nearly 20 years of U.S. aggression. My child’s eyes do not remember that World War II steel behemoth as a threat, but rather as an early lesson that, in Cuba, even the triumphs and sorrows of other peoples are also experienced as a warning.
