Video - From Miami to Havana: Why This Cuban American Is Speaking Out
https://peertube.world/w/j3V8K63g6adySjvVGwLEmu
[a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
Cuban-American politicians have long been a driving force behind the US government’s #EconomicWar on the island. But many people of Cuban origin living in the US reject the hard-line policies that have ravaged the island’s economy and caused widespread scarcities and hardship.
Danny Valdes, a Cuban American born in #Miami, recently visited Cuba with the #NuestraAméricaConvoy to help bring #HumanitarianAid to the island.
“There is a very well organized and powerful right wing Cuban lobby, that even is in the halls of the Congress that gets to determine what #US policy is toward Cuba,” said Valdés. “But we feel like it's a very important time now to say, not in our name.”

Scotland could be a renewable energy exporter with wind turbines, wave turbines etc.
Spain went from a "have-not" member of the EU, to a nation telling Trump's fossil fuel fascists to eff off, thanks to its solar energy exports.

Scotland could punch above its weight class in similar fashion.
Wouldn't it feel great to stop paying $3 billion per day to oil oligarchs & petrostate despots?
Bonjour les mastonautes!
A la maison a été soulevé le problème de l'eau du robinet qui ne serait pas toujours géniale et que quand même ça serait bien de la filtrer. J'y connais : rien (dans ma tête l'eau du robinet c'était plutôt pas mal), je cherche des infos mais y'a pas grand chose sur UFC que choisir et je sais pas ce qu'il y a comme source fiable...
Si vous avez des données, ça m'intéresse!
Edit : les résultats de ma commune sur les analyses sont bonnes sur les sites qui donnent ça... mais mon mec a eu une grande discussion avec des copains qui nous a foutu le doute.
merci 🙏 🚰
RT: @raedhammoud10 Au Canada, on accepte des « militaires » qui commettent un génocide mais on refuse une Députée européenne qui porte la voix de la Palestine.
Force et soutien à @RimaHas
@GeofCox Thanks for sharing this news.
One of the original report The Guardian cites about the French case links votes for the far right to the number of "bars-tabac" that have closed, not only in Paris but in every territory in France. This trend of closures is accompanied by a decline in social bounds.
Which reminds me of this sociological concept : the strength of weak ties (Mark Granovetter) which are pivotal for both social networks and flows of information.
We need cafés, bars and all kind of social places !
I often joke that Brittany is the most left-wing region in France - and has the highest number of cafés and bars per capita... but perhaps the two aspects are more closely linked than I thought.
This article - https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/mar/27/progressive-paris-far-right-french-capital-food-culture-community-extremists - links the increasing number of car-free and non-commercial social spaces in Paris with its continuing extraordinary left voting record - and suggests that the well documented disappearance of such spaces in the US and elsewhere may be a factor in the rise of the extreme right.

Drop into any of the French capital’s ‘third places’ and you’ll find food, culture, community – and an antidote to the disaffection extremists feed on, says Paris-based writer Alexander Hurst
