I cover the Caribbean for Bloomberg; formerly w/ Miami Herald; proud resident of Sagrado Corazon, SJU, via Mexico, Ecuador, Panama, Colombia, Nicaragua & Miami.
Mañana comenzará el Mundial, y muchos estarán atentos a los partidos. El fútbol nos recuerda algo que no debemos olvidar: la vida no es una carrera para lucirse en solitario, sino un camino que aprendemos a recorrer juntos. Quien no sabe pasar el balón, aunque tenga talento, todavía no ha entendido el juego. Y quien no sabe vivir con los demás y para los demás, todavía no ha entendido la vida. #ViajeApostólico
⚽️ 🇭🇹 🇵🇪 Another South Florida home game for Haiti, this one a SELLOUT vs Peru at Nu Stadium in Miami. This IS the World Cup for many Haitian fans who cannot get to Boston, Philly or Atlanta. (Lot of fans still outside in traffic, parking) @MiamiHerald@HeraldSports#Haiti
UPDATE: I'm starting a new job Monday as a Florida correspondent for The New York Times. Excited to work with so many talented journalists. Story ideas? Reach me at [email protected] or on Signal: davido.38 https://t.co/lR6beHvr2I
This moment makes you want to cry because you see the pride #Haitians have and then you realize you can't live this moment inside #Haiti. While many in the diaspora want only positive news & vibes, some can't forget they live straddling two worlds. You have no choice but to live , and remember them simultaneously. #Gametime
Cuban doctors are leaving Venezuela as Trump pushes to shut down Havana's overseas medical missions. The exodus means countless people are now without care. https://t.co/H0q6aEg34k
A sad new milestone for America. Beyond any doubt, our military has now executed more than 200 civilians in the Western Hemisphere since September.
Without trial, evidence, presumption of innocence, or any imminent self-defense justification. For a non-capital crime.
Getting close to 200 known killings.
If you count the unrecovered survivor of the May 8 strike, the death toll is 196 people since these strikes started September 2. If they don't recover any of today's 2 survivors, then 198.

A 99-year-old mining company is teetering on the brink after the Trump administration tightened sanctions on Cuba, underscoring the perils facing companies and investors in a shifting world order, @SybillaGross@paulasambo and I report https://t.co/SfFRTqbF8k
After seven decades in power, Cuba's Communist regime is facing its final reckoning with Washington. This time, a more transactional approach is required

Sherritt International is in talks to hand a controlling stake to a family office linked to a former adviser of President Donald Trump, as the mining company seeks to navigate US sanctions tied to its Cuba operations, @SybillaGross reports https://t.co/q932XK4O45
The denaturalization complaint filed in Miami would complete ex Ambassador Rocha’s fall from grace, stripping the Colombian-born diplomat of the US citizenship he obtained in 1978 — five years after throwing himself at the mercy of Cuba's spy agency.

But OFAC guidance today also hints that any foreign partners of GAESA have just about a month to wind down operations before being subjected to possible enforcement of secondary sanctions.

Bloomberg News is hiring a bureau chief based in Bogotá to lead coverage of Colombia and Venezuela. It is, as you might imagine, a great job!

The Trump Cuba sanctions EO claims its first victim: one of the largest foreign investors in Cuba is halting operations. This before the Admin even announces which entities and economic sectors are subject to sanctions under the EO.
The U.S. has revoked tourist visas for five board members at La Nación, Costa Rica’s most influential newspaper, in what critics are calling an “unprecedented” measure that could have a “chilling effect” on free speech in the Central American nation. https://t.co/LCyL8rfSgi
Hey, do you like irony?
The slide in the left photo instructs Panamanian security forces about the Rome Statute (international law) and command responsibility when personnel commit crimes.
Meanwhile, the U.S. illegal boat strikes' extrajudicial execution count is now over 190.
@Meta has blocked the accounts of practically the last Venezuelan outlet doing original reporting. After @ArmandoInfo exposed how Maduro cronies are taking over banks, anonymous complaints flooded Meta, claiming the stories violated "author rights." How power in Venezuela works.
SEGUIDORES Y AMIGOS DE @armandoinfo
Desde hace varios días la cuenta en Instagram de @armandoinfo se encuentra suspendida.
Al mismo tiempo, Facebook retiró uno de nuestros videos.
A pesar de los repetidos intentos por apelar esas decisiones y revertir la situación, Meta -propietaria de ambas plataformas- no responde.
