Action Alert - Call US Senators to vote Yes on the War Powers Resolution - Hands Off Cuba!
[taken from a post on a WhatsApp group chat]

The Cuba War Powers resolution is coming to the floor Tuesday the 28th. Call your Senators and tell them to vote YES on S.J. Res 124, to prevent war on Cuba (202) 224-3121. This is the single most important thing you can do for Cuba. Even if you have a Republican Senator, please please call: this is a winnable vote and I don’t think I have to tell you how bad it would be if the #US invades #Cuba.

Spread this to your chapter, to your caucus, your normie friends, all your group chats. All hands on deck!

[#Cuba]From the working-class heart of the United States: voices in search of truth and solidarity
https://groups.io/g/cubanews/message/52475

article from #Trabajadores, offical organ of the Cuban Workers' Federation (CTC)
April 26, 2026

The presence of the United States delegation at the Union Internship organized annually by the Cuban Workers' Federation (CTC) takes on special significance in the context of the May Day celebrations. Coordinated by activist Mark Friedman, founder of the #HandsOffCubaCommittee, some fifty visitors have arrived with a clear purpose: to understand the Cuban reality, to exchange ideas with its people, and to take back a perspective that is certainly different from the one that prevails in their own country.

Palestine - From the River to the Sea
A very eloquent defense of one democratic, secular #Palestine from a #Jewish person who lived in #Israel for 20 years.

Cuban faith community reiterates condemnation of #US escalation of violence
https://groups.io/g/cubanews/message/52436
April 26, 2026

[translated from #CUBADEBATE by Walter Lippmann for CubaNews]

The Interreligious Dialogue Platform in #Cuba once again raised its voice and prayers to express the concern and rejection of the island's #religious community regarding the current escalation of violence that undermines the self-determination and sovereignty of peoples.

The statement emphasized that, as men and women of #faith, we understand that peace is not simply the absence of war, but the presence of justice and sacred respect for life.

With a generation capacity of five megawatts, the site is the first in the province of Las Tunas equipped to store energy, which will contribute to greater stability of the electrical service during the nights and early mornings.

According to what its director, Master of Science Yurisán Bacallado Castellanos, told the press, the 348 planned tables were installed, which include nine thousand 048 panels.

Black Doctors Call Out Cuba Blockade's Human Toll
from #BellyOfTheBeast on FB
·

The #NationalMedicalAssociation (NMA), the oldest and largest organization representing #Black physicians and health professionals in the #US, released a statement last week expressing “deep concern” about the consequences of the #Trump administration’s blockade against Cuba.

“As physicians committed to #health equity and global health justice, we call for immediate removal of elements of the #blockade that have led to the humanitarian and health impacts affecting the people of #Cuba,” reads the statement.

Pedro Sánchez, the prime minister of Spain, on the Iran cease-fire

from the #NewYorkTimes #NYT
April 8, 2026

#PedroSánchez, the prime minister of #Spain, an outspoken opponent of the Iran war, lauded cease-fires as “good news, especially if they lead to a just and durable peace.” But he added a harsh condemnation of Mr. #Trump’s military campaign.

“The momentary relief cannot make us forget the chaos, the destruction, and the lives lost,” he wrote. “The government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket. What is needed now: diplomacy, international law and PEACE.”

Emergency #protest against bombing of Iran in #Detroit, #Michigan, #USA on April 7 at 4pm ET

Tuesday night Trump plans for the #US Dept of #War to hit all the cities in #Iran with power plants, which is most of them, with heavy bombs. Please remember, bombs shred people. He is going for the Kill.

#Tuesday, April 7 at 4 pm protest this deranged, horrific violence at the McNamara Federal Building demanding NO BOMBING IRAN! (and no bombing in #Lebanon, #Palestine, #Gaza...) Supported by Macomb Defenders Rising, Peace Action of Michigan, Moratorium Now, Anti-Fascist Organizing Coalition and Michigan Coalition Against Genocide.

#Trump said yesterday, when asked what his goal is in Iran, said "we will take their #oil. They cannot stop us."

These are all massive #WarCrimes. We need every person of conscience to show and make clear to our children, to the world and for our legacy that we stood strong.

#US federal agents arrested the niece and grand niece of Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani
Just saw this in the #NewYorkTimes

It's interesting that the article doesn't mention that the US assassinated #QassimSuleimani with a drone strike in Baghdad, Iraq in 2020.

Thanks for posting this.

It's sad and true that online interest in Palestine has dropped significantly. It doesn't help that every day Donald Trump does something awful and outrageous, which is often distracting.

Yes, it's very impressive. Looks like they are working on Venezuela as well.

Hi Kaori,
Thanks for your posts about Palestine.
Just wanted to let you know that the Palestine guppe group is no longer active, due to an Internet-related server issue.

But a replacement for it now exists - ATpalestine@fedibird.com [AT to @].

Also, 2 new services have started up - ATpalestine@tagpush.app and ATGaza@tagpush.app. If you follow them they will send posts with those hashtags to you.

Keep on posting!

I agree that a citation would be desirable, but I didn't have that on hand. So instead I stated how I found it and who probably produced it.

That's not good enough for a professional journalist, but I think it was okay for this Mastodon post. 🙂

Plus after that I posted 2 articles that had more detailed quotes from his speech.

Whether or not she supports a Jewish-(supremacist) state of #Israel, it's still positive that she took a stand with the shirts.

But it isn't anti-#Jewish to advocate a single democratic state of #Palestine for all of those who live there (including those #Palestinians who were driven out since 1948, and their descendants).

Below is a T-shirt that I came up with that expresses that idea.
