“Peace will be my harbor, my glory, my reward, my hope, my happiness, and all that is precious in the world.”—Simón Bolívar, 1820.
In the face of slanderous narratives against the Bolivarian Revolution and its leadership, in the face of those who appoint themselves the Inquisition and condemn our process to the pyre of their feelings and frustrations, stoking division among popular forces, uncertainty, and hatred, there is no room for hesitant responses. In the face of those who hurl very serious accusations against comrades who have taken on the responsibility of leading our Homeland in this decisive moment, a calm response is warranted.

This morning during the busy commute on the east side of the San Francisco Bay, thousands of vehicles drove under a banner demanding no war on Cuba. People in hundreds of those cars, weary of Trump’s wars and threats of new ones, honked in support. This banner drop was organized by the Richmond – Regla Friendship Committee and is part of a week of actions called by the No War on Cuba Campaign of the National Network on Cuba. (more…)

Comments circulating on social media raise uncomfortable questions: What would happen if the United States were subjected for weeks to an oil blockade similar to the one it imposes on Cuba? What would happen if its hospitals depended on generators with limited fuel, if cold chains collapsed, if water treatment plants shut down, if cell towers went silent, if a major city were left without electricity, without communications, without digital payments, and without basic services?
