  "account": "Following the Cuban Revolution of 1959, certain powerful conservative factions in the United States alleged that Cuba's communist government incited social discord and collaborated with left-wing entities to undermine Washington during the Cold War. This ideology resurfaced within the Trump Administration's July 20, 2026 report, titled \"Cuba: The Capital of 21st Century Communism.\" In the document, the administration exploits the historical narrative of the Tricontinental, an alliance of liberation movements established in 1966, to allege an unsubstantiated U.S. left-wing conspiracy to bring down the U.S. The State Department's report draws heavily from my book, \"From the Tricontinental to the Global South: Race, Radicalism, and Transnational Solidarity,\" without proper citation.",
  "summary": "The State Department views a 1960s-era internationalist movement based in Havana as a Cuban communist plot to destroy America. The truth was far more nuanced.",
