First off before going into the political situation I just wanted to stress how great it was to be reminded how easy it is to fall in love with Caracas, and how amazing the Venezuelan people are. Someone I'd met briefly 7 years ago, would greet me again as if we were family.

On my last day in Venezuela, as calm returned to the streets & people were waiting for what's next, inspiration came out of a very unexpected corner. Bangladesh had successfully overthrown its dictator with support of the army. Venezuelan Twitter was booming with the news out of Dhaka.

I've just come back from #Venezuela 🇻🇪 where I spent 2.5 weeks, witnessing the run-up to the presidential vote, and what was arguably the most outrageous election steal in the modern history of Latin America. I'll share some thoughts below 🧵

The footage of those four young men broke something in me. I’ve never seen footage like that & all I can think of is the drone strikes across Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen & Afg that tore our men & boys apart just bc they existed as poor Muslims made disposable for imperial violence.

700 killed in the last 24 hours in Gaza. We have officially reached the highest lethal rate of Palestinians killed per day since 1948.

At the very moment Israel bombed the al-Ahli hospital killing some 800 Palestinians, I was appearing on Indian outlet @WIONews. The producer had told me it would be a one-on-one interview. Instead, as I called for a ceasefire and negotiations to return hostages, I was ambushed with concern trolling about "sensitivity and "decorum" followed by a series of lies taken directly from Israel's propaganda playbook and faithfully recited by both the anchor and correspondent @susanmtehrani. I pushed back against the shameless deceptions until my mic was cut off.

"There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, there are no limits to the amount of improvement between your first word-vomit attempt at articulating the visceral pain of climate crisis and your final, edited work.” – Michael Phelps

On this day in 1973, Salvador Allende, the progressive, democratically elected president of Chile, was deposed in a US-backed coup that installed the right-wing dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. Pinochet went on to torture and execute his political opponents by the thousands.

The "migration crisis" is overwhelmingly about the Western ruling classes making other countries increasingly uninhabitable and then militarizing their borders against the dispossessed.
