Marco Rubio posted a video to Cubans claiming there’s no oil blockade. Needless to say, it didn’t land well with Cubans who are living through blackouts that became far worse after the U.S. began stopping oil from getting to the island.

Media bias is often less about outright falsehoods and more about framing. Calling Cuba a “regime” instead of a govt subtly delegitimizes it, while saying Cuba “rejected humanitarian aid” erases the possibility that the dispute was over the conditions attached to the aid.

This is The Washington Post using its opinion section to manufacture consent for U.S. intervention in Cuba. When every “opinion” piece points in the same direction, it stops being analysis and starts functioning as propaganda.

Most Global South economies are structurally pushed toward low-wage labor and resource extraction. Cuba took a different path—investing in science, healthcare, and education. The result: a biotech sector competitive with developed countries, built under sanctions.

Not talked about enough: many Cuban exiles celebrated as “freedom fighters” came from families that owned enormous wealth in pre-revolution Cuba. Their politics aren’t neutral—they’re about restoring an economic system that served them extremely well.

Cuba built a model of medical internationalism rooted in solidarity, not profit. Now Washington is waging a pressure campaign to shut it down—undermining healthcare systems across the Global South to tighten the blockade. The human cost is staggering. theguardian.com/global-develop…

Since the Special Period in the 1990s, Cubans have continually adapted and found innovative ways to overcome shortages created by the U.S. embargo. With the recent oil blockade imposed by Trump on Cuba, this mechanic has retrofitted his car to run on charcoal instead of gasoline.

The U.S. claims it’s helping the Cuban people while blocking the fuel that keeps hospitals running and water systems functioning. You can’t claim humanitarian concern while deliberately engineering a humanitarian crisis.

Despite far fewer resources, Cuba produces the highest # of doctors per capita in the world by prioritizing healthcare. That surplus allows Cuba to send thousands of doctors to underserved communities across the Global South-something the U.S. has long tried to undermine.

“Because it’s the main source of hard currency traditionally for Cuba, the U.S. has decided to destroy Cuban medical internationalism,” John Kirk, author of Healthcare Without Borders: Understanding Cuban Medical Internationalism, told Belly of the Beast.

Removing Noem is just opening a release valve to alleviate political pressure through window dressing, while the architects of the deportation regime remain in place. The figurehead was sacrificed to preserve the system.
