The Cuban people continue to resist through protest signs of #PatriaYVida on buildings and the regime finds a way to paint over them! Yet, they can't paint or fix the crumbling buildings of Cuba.

The Cuban regime knows the Cuban people are getting smarter and they're not afraid. I shared this quote with Australia's Sky News through a longer format segment on the most recent Cuban protests.

The death of local architecture, and why it matters... (thread) 🧵

Thank you Margarita Engle for your writing! I am new to your work and found you through Marta Caminero-Santangelo's literary critique on Skywriting. I appreciate how your work challenges us to think beyond the 'left' political conceptions of U.S. Latino writers. I am pushing this…

Martí's words ring true at the dusk of the 19th century and in the dawn of the 21st century. Cuba is the miner's canary for the Americas.

Some struggles are challenges to conquer. Others are weights to carry.

Cuba's societal and institutional racism is a result of its ideological and political-economic system: communism. Manuel Cuesta Manuel Cuesta Morúa shares more on this topic in relation to AfroCuban presence in protests in the interview clip. #AbajoElComunismo #CubaPaLaCalle

Hoy es el Día Internacional de la Eliminación de la Discriminación Racial… No olvidemos lo racista que es la dictadura de Raúl Castro (que sigue en el poder, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez es un títere)
