Neutrality helps the oppressor never the victim.
Silents encourage the tormentor never the tormented.
We must interfere when human lives are in danger.
🇨🇺 Cuba has done it again.
Meet VAXIRA® — a therapeutic cancer vaccine developed by Cuban and Argentine scientists that helps the immune system recognise and destroy lung cancer cells. Approved in both Cuba and Argentina for advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
🔬 It works by mimicking a molecule found on cancer cells but almost entirely absent in healthy human tissue — meaning it targets tumours with remarkable precision and very few side effects.
📊 Clinical trials showed a significant improvement in survival for advanced lung cancer patients, with 1-year survival nearly doubling compared to the control group. Real-world data shows median survival of up to 24.5 months in maintenance therapy.
💉 Minimal side effects. Suitable for long-term use. Affordable and accessible — unlike many Western immunotherapies that price patients out of treatment.
And in 2025, VAXIRA® received Cuba's National Technological Innovation Award. All of this achieved by a country under decades of US economic blockade.
The United States spends billions on cancer research. Cuba, under sanctions, develops vaccines the world hasn't seen before. 🇨🇺🔬

CCTV footage released by Israeli Channel 12 shows Israeli soldiers using shields while inserting an object into the rectum of a Palestinian detainee at the Sde Teiman detention camp.
The victim sustained severe injuries, including a torn rectum, broken ribs, and ruptured bowels, leading to hospitalization.
If Rubio knew the history or architecture, he wouldn't have posed for a picture here. This monument was built out for the love of emperor's Iranian wife, crafted by the genius of Iranian architects — meanwhile his government today threatens to wipe out Iranian civilization, insulting other civilizations.
"I had my hands zip-tied behind my back for so long and it was so tight I almost started vomitting, they slammed my head into a table several times and degraded me as I was strip searched. They had me in handcuffs for 19 hours to the point my skin had begun to swell around them.”
Este año no estaremos en Eurovisión, pero lo haremos con la convicción de estar en el lado correcto de la historia.
Por coherencia, responsabilidad y humanidad.
Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.
Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.
