I was born in Cuba and lived through Fidel Castro’s rise to power. What I saw then still shapes the way I see the world today. And right now, what I see in the United States gives me pause.

‘Defund the Police’ triggered enormous outrage. Yet defunding education, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, veterans' care, science, public health, the FBI, and national security? Crickets.

What begins with immigrants rarely ends with them. Surveillance tech disguised as “alternatives to detention” is becoming detention by another name — shrinking lives, splitting families, and filling corporate pockets. We ignore it at our own peril. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/t...

I felt compelled to put pen to paper this week, in light of some disturbing developments. I shared it with my friends at HispanicAd and they were kind enough to publish it.

Today, after 498 days of captivity, Ruth Chimiel's son, Iair Horn, was released alongside Sagui Dekel-Chen and Sasha Troufanov. I had the honor of interviewing Ruth in her home in Israel, for a documentary film I directed. Her strength, resilience, and optimism profoundly impacted our entire crew.

I just learned that a 12-year-old, third-generation American-born relative of mine was detained by ICE today at her school near Jacksonville, FL, after a fellow student reported her as ‘illegal.’ She was released after her mother intervened. #immigration

“I am proud of being a contributor to this country, after coming as a migrant. Philanthropy has always been important to me. I think that people who are as fortunate as I am, have an obligation to give back in order to equal the playing field.” -Jorge Perez, Immigrant Archive Project testimony.

“The immigrant story is one of total triumph. They don't come here to beg or steal. They work hard. The Europeans worked hard, the Asians worked hard, everybody that comes here works hard. There's no free ride in the United States.” – Edward James Immigrant Archive Project testimony.

The same thing happened in Post-Castro Cuba. Castro sympathizers flagrantly twisted the truth as throngs of Cubans applauded. We took refuge from the Communist madness in the U.S. Six decades later, and here we are again.

This is what a state of the art TV studio looked like in the early 80’s.

This Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Arturo Sandoval is literally lightning in a bottle! Kudos to Andy Garcia, Trombone Shorty and all the other immense talents who’ve come together to honor a true trumpet master.

The inauguration is still a month away and the drama has already begun. It's going to be a very long four years.

News: ICE annual report is so interesting because of its focus on criminals which is of course what the incoming Trump admin says will be the early focus too — while it also plans broader mass deportation efforts.

The Inspiring Story of Phil Fuentes His journey is nothing short of extraordinary.

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs. Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this? #PHEthx

We need less guns and more life-saving vaccines and yet, here we are.

I interviewed the parents of a Parkland school shooting victim just days after their son, Joaquin was killed. One of the toughest conversations of my career. They have dedicated their lives to ending school shootings and yet here we are. Madison, Wisconsin added to the list. Why can’t we end this?

Far-right militias attempting to align w government deportation plans is a chilling escalation in the abuse of power, motivated by racial animus and xenophobia. If extremists are allowed to enforce immigration policies, we risk descending into an era of unchecked human rights violations.

All these billionaires ponying up $1 mill for the inauguration like they're afraid of waking up with a 🐴 in their bed

This is especially concerning to me as a pediatrician in Louisiana where we have had the highest rates of flu in the nation in recent weeks. Imagine how much worse this could get for all vaccine-preventable illnesses.
