This latest power outage comes amid intense pressure from the United States against Cuba, which is hindering the flow of oil to the Caribbean nation.

Earthquakes interrupt everyday life, but not history. Nor do they suspend politics. If anything, they compress history into a few dramatic days, revealing social relations, political projects, and geopolitical forces that ordinarily remain beneath the surface.

Trump and Rubio, two politicians who stink. Will they be held accountable for their war crimes? Image: AFP, Hans Lucas.
A diplomatic cable leaked to *The Nation*, a U.S. news outlet, indicates that the State Department instructed its embassies to pressure both allied and non-allied governments to withdraw their support for Cuba at the upcoming United Nations assembly, which will address the intensification of the blockade.

Exclusive Interview with Gerardo Hernández Nordelo (part 2)
