Cuba experienced a second blackout after an initial island-wide power outage, causing widespread alarm as millions of people struggle to stay cool and find food amidst ongoing outages. Journalist Ed Augustin reported that power is slowly being restored in some areas, but the situation remains dire for many in Cuba.
Meanwhile, the focus in the United States remains on the upcoming election, with discussions about whether to vote for Harris or stay home. Reports indicate that the Harris team is working hard to turn out Black voters, with contributions from high-profile supporters like former GOP Rep. and Air Force veteran. Analysts suggest that having popular figures like Barack and Michelle Obama can help motivate voters for Harris.
On the other side, President Trump is facing allegations of becoming increasingly unstable and unhinged. As the election draws near, polls show Harris and Trump even, with the importance of messaging and messengers emphasized in the battle for Black male votes.
Despite the political climate, the situation in Cuba highlights the challenges faced by the population amidst ongoing power outages. With millions still struggling to access electricity, food, and cooling, the impact of the blackout is evident on a national scale. As the world watches the developments in both Cuba and the United States, the importance of civic engagement and addressing infrastructure issues remains at the forefront of discussions.
