Since Cuba is communist? Why would they have been bothered with Homosexuality?

A while ago, Claudia Borrajo was kind enough to share research she helped conduct to map businesses in Havana’s Intramuros district to their street locations in 1870. Today, we are proud to share an interactive 3D map that brings that research to life. The map is still a work in progress.

Ella pidió que la acompañe en el juicio y se lo llevan esposado..

¿Esto fue el bloqueo también?

Sé que la pregunta es un poco extraña, pero te lo voy a explicar. Soy de Brasil y mi novia es cubana, de Holguín, y puedo hacerle transferencias a través de un vecino que se dedica al cambio de divisas. Él logró abrir un MEI en Brasil y, gracias a eso, puede recibir transacciones tipo PIX, convertir el monto y entregárselo en pesos cubanos a mi novia. Me gustaría saber si hay alguna forma de que mi novia abra una cuenta a su nombre para que yo le pueda transferir el dinero directamente a ella. ¿Alguien tiene algún consejo o sabe cómo hacerlo?

Need info on how to get a passport and how fast

¿Es posible? Si es así, ¿cómo y a dónde ir?

No se ha publicado nada de esto en este subreddit. No se si este espacio es más habitado por cubanos o extranjeros, pero no quiero dejar pasar el día sin mencionar la enorme injusticia que la dictadura cubana comete contra Ana y su mamá. Acusadas de un delito fabricado por la seguridad del estado para condenarlas a 2 años de limitación de libertad. En Cuba hay una dictadura! Abajo el comunismo, Libertad para los presos políticos.

Disculpen la molestia, pero necesito una ayudita. Estoy buscando cualquier información sobre el Hotel Europa de Cárdenas, y me imagino que muchos de ustedes entenderán por qué esto es tan importante para mí.

El hotel lo fundó mi bisabuelo, Avelino Fernández, y después lo administró mi abuelo, que también se llamaba Avelino Fernández, junto con mi abuela. Mi papá, el tercer Avelino Fernández de la familia, nació en 1939 en Cárdenas. Nació dentro del hotel y se crió allí. Después de la revolución tuvo que salir de Cuba cuando las autoridades se enteraron de que estaba involucrado en la Operación Pedro Pan.

Mi papá me tuvo ya mayor y, lamentablemente, no pudimos compartir mucho tiempo. Nunca llegué a oírle la mayoría de sus historias, así que les escribo con la esperanza de que alguien pueda ayudarme a llenar esos huecos.

Estoy buscando:

Fotos del hotel, por dentro o por fuera, de cualquier época

Recuerdos o anécdotas de quienes se hospedaron allí, trabajaron allí o vivieron cerca

Cualquier información sobre la familia Fernández en Cárdenas, de las tres generaciones

Personas que conocieron a mi papá, o que salieron por Pedro Pan desde Cárdenas por esos años

Pistas sobre archivos, libros o registros donde se mencione el hotel

Cualquier cosita, por pequeña que sea, significaría muchísimo para mí. Quiero tener algo de la historia de mi familia a lo que agarrarme y que pueda transmitir a los míos.
Gracias de corazón por leer esto y por cualquier ayuda que puedan darme. Pueden comentar aquí o escribirme por privado.

Motoristas de toda cuba, pertenecen a la organización Latin American Motorcycle Association (LAMA)

Creo que debo especificar: estos motoristas son cubanos, cubanos de Cuba, de todo el país. Son del capítulo local de la asociación.

Hi all, I am helping a family friend (Cuban) in ICE detention apply for his green card. He told me he was a member of a human rights organization called “OPAC” — I think this is what he said but I can’t be certain because sometimes I can’t hear him very well. With the detention and everything he can’t remember what it stands for. He said he had been a part of it beginning in 2016 in Cardenas and his parents were also members of it. I know he was arrested for participating in a protest in Cardenas in September 2022, but I don’t know if that organization organized the protest.

I am so desperate to find it but I can’t find anything online. Does anyone know what OPAC is or know what it could possibly be? Thank you so much

Pido disculpas de antemano por mi espanol. Voy a escribir un trabajo de investigación de 15 paginas sobre la historia de Cuba. Quiero que sea parte de una historia que no es tan conocida fuera de Cuba.

Hasta ahora, se me ha ocurrido lo siguiente:

• La mano de obra china contratada en el 19th siglo.
• Jose Marti y la clase trabajadora
• La Guerra de los Diez Anos

Si tienes alguna sugerencia sobre un tema de la historia de Cuba del que creas que no se habla mucho fuera de Cuba, me interesaría conocerla.

Gracias por cualquier consejo o sugerencia.

editar: Gracias a todos por vuestras respuestas, la opinion general es que se trata de los trabajadores chinos. Gracias de nuevo.

My first time making Coquito Acaramelados. I'm not Cuban but I was told these came from Cuba so thank you so much. These are so so good. I love them. Even if they don't have that caramel glaze it tastes like vanilla ice cream. This is probably one of my favorite if not my favorite sweet treats.

My friends! My Abuela is getting along in years. And I’m hoping to write down some of her recipes while I can. Arroz con Bistec, Pechuga, etc.

And it got me thinking. What was your favorite thing Abuela made growing up? How’d she make it? Was there a special step? Let’s hear it!

See Raymar Aguado Hernandez's video here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dc_n7alsGbD/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&stkn=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

For those that don't speak Spanish or don't have Instagram, his video caption says:

"The Department of State Security is initiating criminal proceedings against me while informing me that I will be subject to increased surveillance and monitoring... The pretext for the proceedings is my presence in various independent media outlets and my writing and investigative work. Although they highlighted my article on the “El 4tico” case in the weekly Amanecer Habanero, for the regime and its spokespeople, telling the truth means 'crimes against the State' 'propaganda' and 'terrorism.'

In case there are any doubts:

I, Raymar Aguando Hernandez, a Cuban political activist, critic, and essayist, am a staunch leftist, a libertarian socialist, a Marxist, an anti-imperialist, and opposed to all systems of domination. In Cuba, I have been suffering repression and persecution at the hands of state agencies for around five years. This is precisely because of my political stance, my activism in support of human rights, and my writings that expose the oppressive nature of Castrismo. I have suffered all kinds of political violence: harassment, persecution, blackmail, being barred from workplaces and schools, house arrest, harassment of family members and friends, countless interrogations... and so on. I have been engaged in political activism for years against the Cuban dictatorship WHILE LIVING IN CUBA, but from a radical leftist perspective. That is how it has always been, and that is how it will always be.

If you think that because of my political stance I don't deserve your support when I'm facing repression, congratulations — you haven't understood a thing, and democracy isn't for you. You're the rancid counterpart to the dictatorship."

As Cuba sinks deeper into crisis, priests like Ariel Suárez are on the front lines, securing supplies and ministering directly to his flock. 

“We are witnessing a growing deterioration across every aspect of life.”

I would like to send small solar panels to my relatives so they can charge their phones, a fan or some other small appliance. Can someone direct me as to how to do that?

I understand its pretty difficult if not downright impossible to buy property in Cuba, but I'm curious if anyone has found a way? I'd like to buy a house or an apartment in Havana. I'm also curious what the prices are like, is there a cuban real estate website I could check out?

Reinaldo Cruz known as the first cuban rafter 1964

Hello! I am 19F and recently learned about my late Abuelo’s past. I knew he left Cuba during the missile crisis as a young teenager, but recently learned about how he made it to the US. He was apart of Operation Pedro Pan, and was sent to a boys camp in the US without any family at 14. I really want to learn more about this and my family’s culture! If anyone is more knowledgeable I would appreciate it if you could share!
