These farm workers are preparing for the strawberry harvest. They're weeding & removing the runners (leafless stems) that can steal nutrients from the plants. This step will also make it easier for workers to move efficiently and harvest more during the harvest season. #WeFeedYou

Cuba is in very bad shape at the moment with its inability to access Venezuela oil. Thanks to Trump, they have only enough left for a couple of weeks and are already suffering 12 hour blackouts.
Pope Leo: ..greatly troubling news regarding an increase in tensions between Cuba and US, two neighboring countries. I echo message of Cuban bishops, inviting all parties to promote sincere and effective dialogue, avoid violence and every action that could increase suffering of dear Cuban people.
