The weekend is here!

Maybe wet in some places - like here 🎯 NYC is set for a 'monsoon'-like Saturday morning, like a few weeks ago.

Thinking of deluges, one of the more memorable for me was on Plaza Mayor, in Trinidad, Cuba. (#myphoto)

Wet dog on Plaza Mayor, Trinidad

Plaza Mayor is an historical treasure (from Colonial days), and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
But outside the tourist attractions, life, as most places on the island, is far less luxurious.

Back street in Trinidad

Here is a back-street in Trinidad, not far from the plaza, where water flowed rapidly down the cobblestone, into a nether-land.

Once living comfortably on #GooglePlus (collection), there is a good-sized collection of images - and a few videos - from Cuba, from Havana to countryside, music, and Hemingway's home in between, (Still more to post, actually) But thinking of wet days now, and...

US Sanctions Affect the Cuban Health System: UN Rapporteur

Due to the U.S. blockade, #Cuba is very dependent on international aid in terms of receiving #medicine and formula milk.

On Friday, Alena Douhan, the United Nations rapporteur for the impact of unilateral #sanctions on human rights, denounced that coercive measures affect health systems by increasing mortality rates even "in countries like Cuba, with a health system very developed".

Understanding “Dictatorship” Beyond Propaganda

The average person living in the U.S. has a negative perception of the word “dictatorship.” And why wouldn’t they? Corporate media’s purposeful use of the word has been relegated solely towards U.S. enemy states (ie. the Democratic People’s Republic of #Korea, People’s Republic of #China, #Zimbabwe, The Islamic Republic of #Iran, #Cuba, #Nicaragua, etc.). This helps solidify the image of the U.S. as a beacon of ‘democracy’ defending ‘human rights’ globally; the “shining light on the hill”. However, it’s important to place #dictatorship in context and proper perspective. In order to understand the “role” of a dictatorship, it’s important to understand that the term, itself, is neutral and dependent on the class character of the state.

A dictatorship is a form of government where one individual or a small group holds absolute power and authority over the state and its citizens. Dictatorships can vary in their ideologies and methods of governance. Yes, repressive regimes exist. But this does not mean that “dictatorship” can be defined as inherently that way, nor that the term itself is inherently negative. How “dictatorships” are understood should be determined by a state’s use of it.
