Vic Mensa: US Siege on Cuba Is a ‘Crime Against Humanity’

Rapper and activist Vic Mensa joins hosts Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear to discuss his journey to Cuba with the Nuestra América convoy — a mission to defy the U.S. blockade and deliver critical aid to the island.

As the U.S.-engineered humanitarian crisis deepens, Donald Trump is tightening the decades-long blockade and imposing a fuel embargo that is driving blackouts, crippling hospitals, and choking off vital energy supplies. Mensa recalls what he saw in Cuba, calling U.S. policy “crushing … a crime against humanity.”

“They are not broken.”

Despite a tightening fuel embargo and US-engineered crisis, the spirit of the Cuban people remains “inextinguishable.”
