How cruel it can b 2 try 2 drown a people !!! #UnblockCuba

Post by @CubanWindow

Cuba recovers from the pain and devastation caused by #HurricaneIrma, while from this brutal north the speeches are split out before the nations of the world traveling back in time, giving way to the hatred and the desires of a few:

Today @ the UN Trump said that the US-imposed blockade against Cuba will not be lifted if the Caribbean nation does not satisfy Washington-mandated reforms, despite the overwhelming rejection it receives annually in the General Assembly.

But the Cubans join forces to give life to their “archipelago” and sing to their land

Video: The flower that inhabits you
Cuba, you are part of me
Wherever I go, you go inside
we will never abandon you
Cuba, your children sweat, recovering the sky,
it’s time to show how much we love you

How can you snatch such goodness from a story
How you can block the truth that is giving birth to dreams
what they try to stifle has been feeling for decades
How cruel it can be to try to drown a people

Post by @CubanWindow 

From the Original post in AlaMesa Cuba Directory / Restaurants: Considering the damages caused by #HurricaneIrma , we decided to add to the offers and events sent by advertisers a list (too short) of restaurants that we confirmed yesterday, are delivering home. We hope it will be useful for those who read us and we thank those who make efforts also from their kitchens, to return our nation to normal.

#HappyFriday #NewYorkCity This Is The Austin #TravelGuide 4 U Via @MadHattersNYC

New Yorkers suffer exorbitant rents and ridiculous commutes, but we get amazing pizza and Central Park in return. We are masters of the trade off. So when you propose an escape from the city, a skeptical New Yorker might ask, “What exactly am I giving up my breakfast bagels for?” Well, if you’re headed to Austin, the answer is: A LOT.

No Gas in Florida: Give #Truth a Chance Via @NatCounterPunch

As I heard Florida’s governor demanding gas, I wondered why they don’t learn from Cuba, and send buses. Cuba was there in the CBC newscasts about Florida. It was the country under the satellite image, under the “lingering” eye of category five Irma. For hours, that awful image was in the background as the CBC anchor kept returning to Florida’s need for gas. Continue Reading HERE

 

#UnblockCuba – Days of Action

Against the #Blockade September 11 @ 10:00 am – September 16 @ 9:00 pm    

Via @IPS_DC The Blockade Against Cuba & The Human Right to Healthcare / September 14 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

A six-year-old Cuban girl named Naomi battling brain cancer couldn’t get a desperately needed U.S.-patented drug. Judy Ingels, a 74-year-old California woman with stage four lung cancer had to sneak into Cuba last spring in violation of American travel restrictions in order to receive a Cuban-developed drug that could help prolong her life for years. Both of these cases are because of the United States government’s economic blockade against the Cuban people for more than 50 years, – including denial of vital medicines.
