** ‘War by Another Means’: #Union Movement Condemns Trump Economic Siege of Cuba**
“Recent actions by the Trump administration have further exacerbated an already #US-manufactured humanitarian crisis,” said Public Services International Inter-America.
https://www.commondreams.org/news/trump-cuba-blockade
from #CommonDreams
Feb 10, 2026
The inter-American branch of a global #labor federation representing tens of millions of #workers issued a statement Monday condemning the #Trump administration’s intensifying economic assault on #Cuba and threats of regime change, calling such actions “war by other means” and violations of international law.
“They are incompatible with peace, the human right to dignity, and the principle of national sovereignty,” said PSI as the Trump administration blockade of oil imports fueled a worsening humanitarian crisis for the island nation, bringing rolling blackouts, straining hospitals, and causing shortages of food and other necessities.
I'm about 90% through Howard Zinn's A People's History of the US.
This is a book that will remove any notion, any pretense that the #US is anything close to a #democracy or a democratic republic. The two-party political system is a fucking farce.
Choose between Grift 1 or Grift 2. Hard fascism or friendly, masked #fascism.
Both are parties that refuse to step away from #capitalism. One provides the illusion of being a better choice and liberals will come out of the woodwork to scream bloody murder if you dare suggest anything other than voting for it because the alternative is worse.
It's a fucking trap that has kept us from any actual progress for 100+ years.
But it's also a system in which middle class white folk have been very comfortable especially over the past 75 years. They benefit. Until they don't. More and more they don't.
This system cannot be reformed. Sometimes you have to start over.

Trump Now ‘Boasting of a War Crime’ as Cuba Suffers Under Oil Blockade
“Cuba isn’t failing, it’s being suffocated,” said one anti-war group.
https://www.commondreams.org/news/trump-and-cuba
from #CommonDreams
Feb 17, 2026
#Trump’s latest comments on his government’s blockade on #Cuba amounted to “boasting of a war crime,” one journalist said after Trump told the press that the #Caribbean island is a “failed nation” weeks after Trump himself cut off Cuba’s main source of #energy and threatened countries with tariffs if they provided the government with oil.
“They don’t even have jet fuel to get their airplanes to take off. They’re clogging up their runway. We’re talking to Cuba right now... and they should absolutely make a deal, because it’s really a humanitarian threat...There’s an #embargo, there’s no #oil, there’s no money, there’s no anything.”

Rest in power to Jessie and shame on us for how we treated him. He was important.

#Cuba’s emergency measures should be seen as crucial test for the #BRICS bloc of developing nations, according to #HelenYaffe, a Cuba expert and professor of #LatinAmerica political economy at the University of Glasgow.
“This is probably the most important test now for BRICS … If BRICS cannot protect, defend and rally around a member, then what is it worth?” Yaffe told CNBC.
Cuba acquired “partner country” status of the BRICS group in January last year, bolstering its ties with the likes of #Brazil, #Russia and #China. Indeed, each of these three countries have sought to offer support to Cuba in recent days.
“The Cuban government is not going to submit,” Yaffe said. “The fact is, [the #US is] going to keep squeezing and the Cubans are going to keep resisting and there’s going to be a lot of unnecessary suffering.”
Trump is committed to the success of Hungarian PM Orban because his leadership and rapport with Trump are crucial to U.S. interests, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said, offering a robust endorsement of the nationalist leader as he faces a tough election in April.

To the folks in Europe, the problem with the US goes much, MUCH deeper than Trump or the nearly half of the electorate that voted him into office twice. That's too simplistic.
Also, be careful, you're telling on yourself. How so?
The problem, the real substance of the problem, is not just the overt #fascism and criminality of the Trump regime and MAGA. The deeper problem is the white supremacy the US middle class. Along with that, the 2 party system, both parties complicit in decades of criminal violence internally and abroad. Then, #neoliberalism / #global capitalism, the core of which is based in the US.
Your trust of the US has long been a mistake and, worse, you've been a partner in #US criminal misconduct that everyone casually calls "Foreign Policy". #Trump, Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter... keep going. US foreign policy is rife with grift, violence and war profiteering.
And #Europe has been a partner all along.

Oh, really?
See, here's the problem: the U.S. electorate voted for Donald Trump in 2016. We, the rest of the world, were then subjected to his capricious insanity for four years. At the end of 2020 they voted him out.
At that point we were willing to consider that this may have been a temporary loss of perspective.
But then they voted for him again.
This proves we cannot trust the USA. And it will take a LOT more than one election for the USA to regain our trust.
If 1% of criminals being undocumented immigrants is enough to justify concentration camps, what should we do with the fact that 98% of criminals are men?
Personally, I'm not a radical: a moratorium prohibiting men from being elected to any government position is enough. Let's try that for 10 years and see how it goes.

No fuel, no tourists, no cash – this was the week the Cuban crisis got real

Cuba is in crisis. Already reeling from a four-year economic slump, worsened by hyper-inflation and the migration of nearly 20% of the population, the 67-year-old #communist government is at its weakest. After Washington’s successful military operation against #Cuba’s ally Venezuela at the beginning of January, the #US administration is actively seeking #RegimeChange.
Stoking concerns is news that lack of fuel is hampering the UN World Food Programme’s efforts to relieve suffering from last year’s Hurricane Melissa. The organisation, which keeps a low-key presence on the island, is now having to draw up plans for a new, far larger crisis. “We’re already seeing the impact in the availability of fresh produce in the cities,” said Étienne Labande, the WFP’s country director.

The Department of Homeland Security (#DHS) is expanding its efforts to identify Americans who oppose #ICE by sending tech companies legal requests for the names, email addresses, telephone numbers and other identifying data behind social media accounts that track or criticize the agency.
In recent months, #Google, #Reddit, #Discord and #Meta, which owns #Facebook and #Instagram, have received hundreds of administrative subpoenas from the DHS, according to four government officials and tech employees privy to the requests.

Bad Bunny Joins Pro-Immigrant Protests

from #WorldOutlook
February 13, 2026
“Before I say thanks to God, I’m gonna say: ICE out!” proclaimed trap and reggaeton artist Bad Bunny on February 1, while accepting the Grammy award for best urban music album.
The crowd inside the show, which took place in LA, overwhelmingly responded with cheers.
“We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens,” he added. “We are humans and we are Americans.”
The #Grammy ceremony and #BadBunny’s anti-#ICE statement came in the context of the #Trump administration’s brutal crackdown against immigrant workers, with hundreds of thousands of people arrested and deported in the last year, often violently.
Bad Bunny, one of the most well-known and awarded #US musicians today, repeated his pro-#immigrant message a week later at the #SuperBowl halftime show, without making an explicit political statement as he did in the Grammys.

#Video - Why a Grammy Winner Says You Can’t Understand Jazz Without Cuba
https://peertube.world/w/3sepoddXTodz5pPfwDAGZg
[from the #news collective #bellyofthebeast]
Arturo O’Farrill is a #Grammy-winning pianist, composer and one of the most influential voices in #AfroCubanJazz. But for him, #Cuba is more than just an inspiration — it’s home, history and identity.
In #Havana, during the 41st International #Jazz Plaza Festival, Arturo told us why #jazz cannot be understood without Cuba, why #AfroCuban roots remain central to the music’s evolution, and why #cultural exchange persists despite the #US’s decades-long economic war on Cuba.
Arturo has been returning to Cuba year after year for over two decades, honoring his heritage, and using #music as a bridge between Cuban and US citizens - despite the personal cost of taking political positions.
“This is Cuba,” he says. “I come here to learn how to live.”

As scholars from around the world, we unite to condemn the #US government’s ‘maximum pressure’ policy aimed at starving the Cuban people into submission. We defend #Cuba’s right to self-determination, including the right to pursue a socialist development path. We oppose the #Trump administration’s declaration of a ‘national emergency’, its threats of tariffs against countries sending #oil to Cuba, and the absurd claim that Cuba threatens US national security. The impact is already visible with hospitals and universities closing, and industry, agriculture and transport in crisis...
The policy’s objective, laid out in a 1960 memorandum by US diplomat Lester Mallory titled ‘The Decline and Fall of Castro’, is to use economic warfare ‘to bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government’. This constitutes collective punishment, illegal under international law.

‘#Cuba’s revolution does not collapse with the wind. It is rooted in the soul of our homeland’
FIDEL ANTONIO CASTRO SMIRNOV, grandson of the Cuban revolutionary leader, speaks to Morning Star editor Ben Chacko about his country’s resilience in the face of dire threats, its incredible achievements and the legacy of his grandfather

Cubans have ample experience facing enormous dangers stemming from the #US empire. We defeated the Bay of Pigs invasion, we survived the October Crisis, and the Special Period when we lost 85 per cent of our trade overnight following the collapse of the #socialist camp.
Furthermore, we have heroically resisted a criminal economic and financial #blockade for more than 67 years.
They have applied “maximum pressure,” and here we remain. That phrase, spoken with such arrogance, demolishes the lie that Cuba is a failed state...
My wife and I have always adopted the policy of trusting our son and allowing him to be whoever he wants to be.

#US #military plans to use counter-drone laser triggered #ElPaso airspace closure
A #Pentagon plan to use a high-energy, counter-drone laser without coordinating with the #FAA about potential risks to civilian #flights prompted Wednesday’s unprecedented airspace shutdown over El Paso, #Texas, multiple sources told CNN.
Those accounts come as the #Trump admin claimed that a #Mexican #cartel drone crossing into #US airspace is what triggered the shutdown.
https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/11/us/faa-el-paso-texas-flight-restrictions-hnk
Multiple sources from the federal government & US airlines told CNN that #military activity near #ElPaso, including #US #drones monitoring #cartel operations & the #Pentagon’s planned use of a high-energy laser designed to counter drones, raised immediate concerns for civilian traffic arriving & departing #ELP. #FortBliss & its airfield, #BiggsArmyAirfield, sit just north of the commercial airport, which serves about 100 flights each day.
Incursions along the southern border are extremely common & historically do not prompt such airspace closures. In 2024, Air Force Gen. Greg Guillot, the commander of #NORTHCOM, told the #Senate #ArmedServices Cmte that the number of incursions along the #US #Mexico border was “over a thousand” each month.
The #DEA & other US security agencies have used facilities at the Biggs Army Airfield for years as part of efforts to monitor #Mexico based drug #cartel operations.
#ElPaso, with a population of nearly 700k, is the sixth-largest city in #Texas & one of the 25 largest in the #US. It is a hub of cross-border commerce alongside neighboring Ciudad Juárez in #Mexico.
Nearly 3.5 million passengers passed through #ELP in the first 11 months of 2025, according to its website.…
In the initial flight restrictions, the #FAA classified the area around #ElPaso as “(National) Defense Airspace” & said pilots who violated the restriction could be intercepted, detained & questioned by law enforcement.
It warned that additional actions could be taken for pilots who don’t adhere to the restrictions, including suspension of flight certifications, #criminal charges, & that the #US govt “may use deadly force” if an aircraft poses an “imminent security threat.”
#NationalGuard troops were quietly withdrawn from some #US #cities
The deployments encountered repeated legal setbacks [because they were illegal] that stymied #Trump’s “show of force” [#coup attempts] in #LosAngeles, #Chicago & #Portland, Oregon.

If you haven't been following this stuff for long, it might surprise you to know that "adding" 130,000 jobs in a month is a net loss. A jobs report like this would have been taken as a sign of a very poor economy even 15 years ago. The reason is that around 180,000 young people reach legal employment age each month in the US (Contra the admin's confabulations, this is how many US citizens reach employment age, and is not about immigration slowing). Adding 180,000 jobs would be treading water. Adding 130,000 is effectively 50,000 new people without jobs, a net loss by the spirit of this metric. There's also the reality that many of these estimates have been revised down by the BLS after more data came in.
Saying hiring is "picking up" and is "stronger than expected" is effectively saying "it could have been worse! 🤷 ". It's wild to see this positive spin on a very poor report.
It's extraordinarily fishy that the reported unemployment rate is not moving much in spite of these persistent and mounting job losses. I know why this is so please don't @ me a splanation. My point is that it, again, does not reflect the spirit of what this metric is meant to capture. It is wholly perverse now and should not be reported at all, let alone taken as a meaningful indicator.
The US economic numbers, when you push aside all the B.S., are recession-level. There's no "momentum" in the "labor market". There are not "green shoots" or "signs". The economic situation is bad.

On February 3, Aliya Rahman — a US citizen and resident of Minneapolis, #Minnesota — testified before a bicameral public forum at the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C.
The session on the violent tactics and use of force by agents of the Dept.of Homeland Security (DHS) was convened by #US senator Richard Blumenthal (Democrat, Connecticut) and US congressman Robert Garcia (Democrat, California). Other testimony came from Miramar Martinez, who was shot five times by #DHS agents in Chicago, Illinois, and from family members of #ReneeNicoleGood, who was murdered by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE) agent in #Minneapolis on January 7.
This is sort of skipped over, but if #ICE is forging signatures on deportation paperwork, especially on people who dont speak English well, or who are not represented by a lawyer, then the #Trump #Gestapo is, once again, breaking the law on the backs of other people's lives.

Nearly 30,000 Minnesotans Trained to Monitor ICE Occupation

This activity is coupled with mass #protests that have included rallies by tens of thousands and walkouts by high school students after federal goons murdered in cold blood two of these volunteer observers — #US citizens #ReneeGood and #AlexPretti. In response, the #Trump administration is trying to diffuse the growing resistance through cosmetic changes.
On February 4, White House “border czar” #TomHoman announced that the Dept. of Homeland Security (#DHS) would reduce by 700 the number of agents deployed to #Minnesota. State officials, #immigrant rights and community groups, and those involved in resisting the DHS “Operation Metro Surge” since early December reacted with skepticism.

Major media outlets have long joined in these doomsday forecasts, but in the weeks leading up to and after the US attack on Venezuela, the familiar storyline returned with renewed intensity. The WSJ,, #ForeignAffairs and #TheGuardian have all used the exact same phrase: “Cuba is on the brink.”
These outlets rarely report with any depth on the primary cause behind #Cuba’s devastating economic crisis: #US sanctions. Such is the case with a November article in #TheEconomist: "Cuba is heading for disaster, unless its regime changes drastically."

A Call to Conscience
Stop Donald Trump’s Cruel Assault Against the Cuban People
#US President Donald Trump is trying to induce a famine in #Cuba. Mass starvation and human suffering in Cuba is the goal of #Trump’s latest ‘emergency’ Executive Order preventing Cuba, an island nation, from importing oil or any energy sources needed to survive. It is a cynical and crude ploy to distract public opinion from the issues at home that are eliciting mass public dissent, and as we’ve seen with Venezuela, a precursor to an illegal military attack.
We, along with millions of people in the United States and around the world, reject this inhumane act against the people of Cuba. This is not a policy of national security; it is a deliberate act of economic warfare aimed at strangling an entire population.

In #Minneapolis and St. Paul, as well as the surrounding suburbs, tens of thousands of #immigrant families are relying on churches and mutual aid for food and financial support. People have not left their homes for weeks. Local schools have reverted to Covid-era online measures to support immigrant students too terrified to come to class. Those students who still attend in person are transported by #US-born neighbors and family friends. Campuses at all grade levels are patrolled by volunteers in fluorescent vests, an effort aimed at deterring federal agents’ practice of targeting parent pick-up and drop-off sites.

But for Mahdi, who knew and regularly collaborated with Qishta and Sha’at, the honor of their work and the memory of their laughter cannot be erased.
