The Coral Gables Museum will present Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara: Estamos conectados, a documentary screening by Cuban filmmaker Ernesto Fundora Hernández highlighting the life, art, and political persecution of one of Cuba's most prominent dissident artists and musicians.

Cuba has held a traditional rally to commemorate one of the revolution’s most important anniversaries but former President Raúl Castro was conspicuously absent.

The Catholic Church organization Caritas says hundreds of boxes of humanitarian aid from the U.S. are being distributed in two towns near Havana.

The decision will go into effect on Friday and represents a significant blow to Cuba's tourism industry, which has been struggling under new U.S. sanctions.

A cargo plane packed with food and hygiene kits has left Miami for Cuba as part of the U.S. government’s humanitarian assistance efforts for the people of the island nation.

A State Department report claims Cuba remains the prime "launch pad" of leftist, anti-American subversion and "upheavals" inside the U.S. and from abroad. But even Miami's Cuban exiles seem resigned that the charges don't likely mean imminent U.S. military action.

Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara co-founded a group of artists called the San Isidro Movement and shared a Grammy for the song “Patria y Vida” — “Fatherland and Life” — which became an anthem for Cuba’s political opposition.

Cuba is suffering another nationwide blackout, leaving the entire country without power. It's the third incident in two weeks, highlighting the island's vulnerable grid under a U.S. oil embargo.

U.S. Rep.'s María Elvira Salazar, R-Miami, Mario Díaz-Balart R-Miami, Carlos A. Giménez, R-Miami, and Christopher H. Smith, R-New Jersey, sent a joint letter to top Trump Administration officials demanding immediate action against the Comercializadora de Servicios Médicos Cubanos.

Saturday's planned dual events, featuring the Cuban Freedom March and the Liberation Day Rally Miami, aims to honor those who stood up against the island's regime and those who continue to face political persecution.

The blackout Monday was reported by Cuba's Electric Union, which said on X that the cause was under investigation.

"The problem is that this could be a day late and 500 pesos short."
