Emocionante fiesta de cumpleaños le regaló el pueblo de Cuba, a través de la compañía teatral infantil “La colmenita” al líder de la Revolución cubana, Fidel Castro, quien durante la función en el Teatro Karl Marx, de La Habana, estuvo acompañado por el Presidente Raúl Castro y el mandatario venezolano, Nicolás Maduro.Tomorrow I will turn 90 years old. I was born in a territory called Birán, in the eastern region of Cuba. It’s known by that name, although it has never appeared on a map. Given its good conduct it was known for close friends and, of course, a stronghold of political representatives and inspectors involved in any commercial or productive activity typical of the neocolonized countries of the world.

Brother Obama,Nobody should be under the illusion that the people of this dignified and selfless country will renounce the glory, the rights, or the spiritual wealth they have gained with the development of education, science and culture.I also warn that we are capable of producing the food and material riches we need with the efforts and intelligence of our people. We do not need the empire to give us anything. Our efforts will be legal and peaceful, as this is our commitment to peace and fraternity among all human beings who live on this planet.Fidel Castro Ruz

Now is a time when none of us can afford to remain seated or silent. We must all stand up to be counted.HIstory will demand to know which side were you on. This is not a question of politics or party or even policy. This is a question about the very fundamentals of our beautiful experiment in a pluralistic democracy ruled by law.When I see neo-Nazis raise their hands in terrifying solute, in public, in our nation's capital, I shudder in horror. When I see that action mildly rebuked by a boilerplate statement from the President-elect whom these bigots have praised, the anger in me grows. And when I see some in a pliant press turn that mild statement into what they call a denunciation I cannot hold back any longer. Dan Rather

"The Democratic Party should not exist for Democrats. It exists for Americans. It exists for all of us, and we’ve got to be an agent of change. We’ve got to be on that person’s side, because the rich folks got a party that stands for them not having to pay taxes, not having to obey by government regulations, not having to worry about the common welfare. The American people need a party to say, “We’re on your side and willing to kick down doors for you.” That’s what needed in this moment, and I think that even though I’m black and I’m Muslim, people in my district vote for me because that is nowhere near as important as the fact that I actually care about them." Representive Keith Ellison of Minnesota

Mark Zuckerberg says the notion that fake news influenced the U.S. presidential election is "a pretty crazy idea."Facebook is not a free speech platform. It has a long list of rules, called Community Standards, of things you're not allowed to say or share. Naked pictures of children are a well-known example.During this election cycle, Zuckerberg personally intervened to change the rules. When Trump called for a ban on all Muslims, it was clearly hate speech, as defined by Facebook guidelines. But the CEO ordered his staff to not take it down because it was newsworthy.Facebook algorithms accidentally promoted to "trending news" a fake story about Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly pledging her support for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.One of the things that has shifted, he says, is that now news is a more important part of Facebook content. "We're still working through what that means." MPRNews
