Back on the streets of #Havana this morning, marching against the US attack on Venezuela, which killed of 32 Cubans, and the Trump administrations threat that Cuba may be next. Despite the cold, tens of thousands were out calm, but resolute, defending #socialism and #sovereignty.

“Cuba’s president has said that attempts to take the island will be met with ‘impregnable resistance’. "That resistance is now international.” Novara Media’s @StevenJMethven is in Cuba, reporting on a convoy delivering aid to Cubans struggling under Trump’s oil embargo. More than 4 tonnes of supplies have now been flown to Cuba from Italy, with more on its way from Mexico.

Ecuador is also suffering electricity blackouts despite facing no sanctions or siege, and despite being an oil producer. The neoliberal regime there has turned the country into a failed state. It now has the highest crime rate in the region and can't keep the lights on.

Escuchemos a Fidel y preguntémonos cada uno de nosotros lo siguiente: ¿cuándo y de qué manera cumpliremos nuestro elemental deber internacionalista de defender a Cuba? 🇨🇺 🇨🇺 🇨🇺 #CubaVencerá

We need to talk about Miami’s capture of US-Cuba policy in the same terms that we talk about AIPAC’s capture of our Israel one: corrupt, anti-democratic, and fundamentally contrary to our genuine national interests. The data speak for themselves 👇

Cuban President @DiazCanelB responds to threats to "take Cuba" by #UnitedStates President #Trump: "Faced with the worst-case scenario, #Cuba has one certainty: any external aggressor will encounter an unyielding resistance." #CubaStandsFirm
Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez@DiazCanelB

#EEUU amenaza públicamente a #Cuba, casi a diario, con derrocar por la fuerza el orden constitucional. Y usa un indignante pretexto: las duras limitaciones de la debilitada economía que ellos han agredido y pretendido aislar hace más de seis décadas. Pretenden y anuncian planes para adueñarse del país, de sus recursos, de las propiedades y hasta de la misma economía que buscan asfixiar para rendirnos. Solo así se explica la feroz guerra económica que se aplica como castigo colectivo contra todo el pueblo. Ante el peor escenario, a #Cuba la acompaña una certeza: cualquier agresor externo chocará con una resistencia inexpugnable. #CubaEstáFirme

Los dejaron sin combustible, ahora sin energía, buscan que millones de cubanos mueran de hambre, se queden sin hospitales y sin formas de defenderse ante la tiranía de Estados Unidos que hoy quiere despedazar la isla. ¿El mundo va a seguir siendo un simple testigo? @ONU_es

🇨🇺 TOTAL BLACKOUT IN CUBA: The National Electric System (SEN) is offline for the second time this month due to low fuel availability and a weak grid. These are direct consequences of Trump's TOTAL BLOCKADE. What they are doing to the Cuban people for a political whim is INHUMANE.

🇨🇺 APAGÓN TOTAL EN CUBA: segunda desconexión del SEN este mes por la baja disponibilidad de combustible y la debilidad de la red. Son las consecuencias directas del BLOQUEO TOTAL de Trump. Es INHUMANO lo que le están haciendo al pueblo de Cuba por un capricho político.
