The tanker Anatoly Kolodkin docked on March 30, marking Cuba’s first oil shipment in roughly three months. Fuel shortages have triggered widespread blackouts of up to 20 hours a day and strained supplies of food and medicine for the country’s 10 million people. The crisis intensified after oil flows from Venezuela, Cuba’s main supplier, were disrupted earlier this year following political upheaval there.

The richest and most populous city in the wealthiest nation on the planet is taking steps to clean up its act.

individuality instead of conditioning, truth instead of engineered happiness, freedom instead of stability, emotional depth instead of contentment. In Brave New World, social control is achieved through pleasure, conditioning, and the suppression of individual thought, creating a population that willingly accepts its own oppression. By contrast, 1984 portrays a society maintained through fear, surveillance, and coercion, where citizens comply under constant threat. The true opposite of Huxley’s vision, however, is not merely a harsher dystopia, but a society grounded in individuality rather than conformity, truth rather than manufactured happiness, freedom rather than enforced stability, and emotional depth rather than artificial contentment. A new world where intellectuals are persecuted and prosecuted.

The US crime rate can be one of the deciding factors of where families settle down. Based on each city's murder and property crime rates per 100,000 people, determined by FBI crime reports, these are the most dangerous places to live in the United States. Then there is affordability.

When I was born, my father named me after an MLB star player. Then he wanted me to become an architect. In a way, I followed his second wish. Cuando nací, mi padre me puso el nombre de una estrella de la #MLB. Luego quiso que me convirtiera en arquitecto. De alguna manera, seguí su segundo deseo.
I have dedicated decades to the intersection of language, culture, and trust, at the Associated Press alongside journalists of multiple nations and traditions, at Univision when it was SIN, at News 12, building something from nothing for a community that had been invisible, at Telemundo, trusting my audience when the boss said otherwise. Almost every institution I have worked with needed to reach a community it did not fully understand. The challenge is always the same. The information exists. The access exists. What is missing is the cultural and linguistic intelligence to make the truth land. That is what I provide. Not translation. Not consultation. And not diversity for its own sake.

He dedicado décadas a la intersección del idioma, la cultura y la confianza, en Associated Press, junto a periodistas de varias tradiciones; en Univision, antes se llamaba SIN; en News 12, construyendo algo desde cero para una comunidad que había sido invisible; en Telemundo, confiando en mi audiencia cuando el jefe decía lo contrario.
Casi todas las instituciones con las que he trabajado necesitaban llegar a una comunidad que no comprendían del todo. El desafío es siempre el mismo. La información existe. El acceso existe. Lo que falta es la inteligencia cultural y lingüística para que la verdad aterrice. Eso es lo que yo ofrezco. No traducción. No consultoría. Y no diversidad como apariencia.

The central question is not whether surveillance exists, but how it is used. Targeted, lawful surveillance tied to specific threats is generally allowed. Surveillance that is broad, viewpoint-based, or likely to deter people from speaking, organizing, or practicing their beliefs risks violating the First Amendment.

UNBELIEVABLE, this is of such a superlative degree as to be difficult to believe!
