🏥At the Holguín Pediatric Hospital, the night wears on and newborns sleep in their incubators. Suddenly, the power goes out. Darkness covers everything—but not the instinct of two nurses who, without hesitation, rise in unison. Diana and Liliannis don't need to think. One turns on the rechargeable lamp; the other grabs a manual Ambu-type resuscitator and begins pumping air into the lungs of Leonardo, a baby connected to a ventilator that has just stopped. Their hands hold the thread of a life that has barely begun. The incubator maintains the temperature, but it needs electricity. When it fails, time condenses and every second weighs like fear and responsibility. While the blockade complicates spare parts and fuel, these workers sustain the lives of those who cannot wait. There are no sophisticated alarms—only one made by hand from radio parts and steady hands.

🇨🇺Ex-Governor of MN Jesse Ventura talks to @hasanthehun about his trip to Cuba, his meeting with Fidel, the inhumanity of the U.S. blockade against the Cuban people, and how the blockade also violates the human rights of American citizens. In another moment, Hasan also talks about his trip to Cuba this year and how U.S. regulations forced him to stay in a specific hotel. #CubaIsNotAThreat — the blockade is!
