The US Coast Guard said Friday that its forces intercepted a ship that was attempting to bring fuel to Cuba, as the US continues to enforce a ramped-up oil embargo on the country, which has caused a devastating humanitarian crisis. The Coast Guard said that the incident occurred in early September, when a “Coast Guard tactical team” boarded the M/V Grace, a 300-foot-long container ship, in the Caribbean Sea. The Coast Guard said it then escorted the ship to Mexico, where Mexican authorities found fuel stored in the ship’s ballast tanks. It said that earlier in the summer, US Coast Guard personnel stopped and boarded the M/V Jaira Provider, another vessel it accused of carrying fuel bound for Cuba.

New Reports Show Deadly Side Of US Policies Against Cuba

October 3, 2026 W. T. Whitney, Jr., People's World. Educate! Children, Cuba, Economic Blockade, US Sanctions

“You strangle us for 40 years and then criticize us for the way we breathe.” That was the late Fidel Castro’s response to the criticism of Cuba, now revived by the Trump administration, of Cuba as a failed state. The attacks currently being launched against Cuba go beyond rhetoric, though. In fact, destructive U.S. policies over six decades have finally led to a total humanitarian crisis. Suffering and death rates are up on the island, despite collective resilience. Recent comprehensive reports provide information about the origins, substance, methods, objectives, and impact of U.S. measures against Cuba, the economic blockade, in particular.

Perfect Victim Narrative Applied To Foreign Policy Keeps US Imperialism Alive

September 25, 2026 Jacqueline Luqman, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Cuba, Foreign Policy, Iran, US Imperialism

The Perfect Victim trope extends to conversations about capitalism, imperialism, and war. It is as destructive as when we use it domestically, as we are familiar with. I was confronted with this in a recent public political education session that I was conducting at my church, of all places, because the people of God finally wanted to talk about the issues that have been kicking our behinds, that they finally are experiencing themselves. So it wasn’t a great surprise that someone had very pointed opinions and accusations about and against Iran–which wasn’t even the topic of the discussion, as we were talking about socialist countries (Iran is not).

Trump Threatens Cuba At UN General Assembly, Cuba Responds

September 24, 2026 Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Cuba, Donald Trump, Economic Blockade, United Nations

In his speech at the United Nations General Assembly, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, threatened Cuba, claiming that the country is under the highest level of pressure and that it will eventually fall. In protest against Trump’s words, the Cuban delegation, led by Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, walked out of the room. Prior to the threats from the US president, which he often repeats, the president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, had expressed his condemnation of foreign interference in the region and criticized the measures imposed by the US against Cuba. Lula emphasized that the intensified blockade represents collective punishment against 10 million people.

Can Decentralized Energy Prevent The Next Crisis?

After International Energy Agency executive director Fatih Birol labeled the ongoing global energy turmoil the “biggest energy security threat in history” in April, events over the summer vindicated his warning. The United States authorized the grid operator Southwest Power Pool, Inc. to use backup generation resources in 17 states it serves amid growing demand and extreme heat in late July, while droughts forced European nuclear plants to reduce or halt operations in August. EU gas stocks reached a record low during the last week of August, and Bangladesh further tightened restrictions on business operating hours as its gas shortage worsened.

On September 2, 2026, Congresswomen Delia Ramírez and Ilhan Omar hosted a shadow hearing in Congress on “Breaking the Blockade: Reassessing the Moral and Legal Failures of U.S.-Cuba Policy.” A shadow hearing, called by the minority party, has all the formalities of an official hearing of Congress. Four distinguished witnesses gave testimony about the current state of life in Cuba under the oil blockade imposed by the Trump administration in January, and additional coercive measures that have been steadily imposed since then.

We Dig Into The Soil Of Our Radical Traditions

August 28, 2026 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. Strategize! colonization, Cuba, Imperialism, Radical Tradition

In January 1968, 470 delegates from seventy countries gathered in Cuba for the Cultural Congress of Havana. They arrived from nations at war, socialist societies under construction, national liberation movements struggling against colonialism, and imperial centres where intellectuals had begun to rebel against power. Vietnam was resisting the most powerful military on Earth. The murder of Che Guevara three months earlier had not extinguished the conviction that imperialism could be defeated; it had only intensified it. Imperialism, the delegates understood, does not survive by the gun and the bank alone.

Humanitarian Plight In Cuba: ‘A Genocide Without Bombs’

August 22, 2026 Robin- Lee Francke, Resumen English. Resist! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Fidel Castro, Genocide, Revolution

Father Michael Lapsley, the Cape Town priest who left for Havana, Cuba, earlier this month, has returned and called for the world to stand together with the Cuban people. Lapsley attended a colloquium in Cuba marking 100 years since the birth of Fidel Castro, who led the Cuban revolution of 1959 and ruled the island for almost half a century. Castro died in 2016. Lapsley is the honorary life President of the Friends of Cuba Society, which he helped set up ahead of South Africa’s first democratic election in 1994. During his trip, he also took along medical supplies for the people of Cuba.

What Fidel Castro Gave Us

August 14, 2026 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. Strategize! Cuba, Fidel Castro, Revolution, Socialism

Fidel was not a utopian socialist. He rejected those who believed that you could leap from poverty directly to wealth. He had read Marx, particularly the widely circulated and studied pamphlet Critique of the Gotha Programme (1875), in which Marx wrote, ‘Right can never be higher than the economic structure of society and its cultural development conditioned thereby’. In other words, a society whose productive forces cannot generate sufficient surplus, and therefore sufficient leisure and cultural institutions, cannot by itself create the conditions for human emancipation.

US Blockade Leaves 7,000+ Cuba-Bound Containers Stranded

The containers hold merchandise lawfully purchased by Cuba under international trade rules, according to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment Oscar Pérez-Oliva Fraga, speaking before the current session of the National Assembly of People’s Power. He referred to the U.S. economic blockade as an “energy siege” and described the impact on the entire Cuban population as “collective punishment,” noting that new pressure measures have been applied since the start of the year. Perez-Oliva further held responsible “those who try to prevent the arrival of this merchandise, those who remain impassive allowing this genocide to be committed, and those who bow to the interests of the U.S.”

21st-Century McCarthyism: Cuba In The Crosshairs

August 12, 2026 Guillermo R. Barreto, BreakThrough News. Educate! Cuba, Fidel Castro, New McCarthyism, Revolution

It happened on May 25, 2020, in Minneapolis, in the US. George Floyd (a Black man) was arrested on suspicion of attempting to pay for a pack of cigarettes with a counterfeit $20 bill. Police officer Derek Chauvin (a white man) pinned him to the ground and pressed down on his neck for more than 9 minutes. It was to no avail that George Floyd repeated “I can’t breathe” more than 20 times. He lost consciousness and died of asphyxiation. In other words, he was murdered by the police officer. This incident sparked a wave of outrage and protests that spread to more than 2,000 cities across the US and beyond.

The Art Of Manufacturing A Threat

August 8, 2026 Angel Gonzalez, Resumen English. Educate! Cuba, Marco Rubio, Propaganda, Trump Administration, US Imperialism

The United States government, under the Trump administration and with Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, has deployed a sophisticated propaganda operation to construct a pretext justifying an aggressive escalation against Cuba. Behind this scheme are Mauricio Claver-Carone and Jeremy Lewin, the principal architects of a strategy that seeks to introduce the narrative of a “Cuban threat” into public opinion to pave the way for an intervention with the least possible political cost. Mauricio Claver-Carone, appointed by Trump as special envoy for Latin America, has been identified by the Cuban government as the “architect and executioner”.
