Súper honrado de haber participado en este evento como representante de la Asociación de Venezolanos en Vanderbilt. ¡Qué gran honor! ¡Gracias por venir!

In the past year, #NobelPeacePrize laureate Maria Corina Machado has been forced to live in hiding. Despite serious threats against her life she has remained in the country, a choice that has inspired millions of people. When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognise courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist. Democracy depends on people who refuse to stay silent, who dare to step forward despite grave risk, and who remind us that freedom must never be taken for granted, but must always be defended – with words, with courage and with determination.

En mayo, terminé mis estudios en Europa gracias a una beca otorgada por @avemundo. Estas becas han cambiado las vidas de cientos de estudiantes venezolanos. ¡Y las aplicaciones están abiertas! Mañana, a las 4:30 p.m. (🇻🇪), haré un live en IG sobre ello. ¡Únanse y compartan!

@pupilalejana Me da miedito usar Twitter hoy en día jajajaja

@EliasHaig Welcome back!!!

Does Gen Z have true classics? No matter how brat last summer might have been or how many TikTok viral songs there might be, I don't think we do. If Video Killed the Radio Star in the 80's, the creation of communities through social media killed the classic star in the 2000's.

🫓 Dear friends of the blog, As you know already, floods have hit Mérida and nearby states. The Venezuelan Andes really need our help. Many communities are cut off, roads and bridges gone, and thousands were left homeless. Here’s how you can support some relief efforts👇

🫓 Beto from Rawayana named over a dozen Venezuelan artists in a rhymed acceptance speech at the gringo Grammys. The message: Venezuelans should keep their heads high y que viva Venezuela en esta mierda caballero.

Esta entrada se empezó a escribir el 28 de julio y terminó la semana pasada. Como adolescente venezolano en el exterior, la ansiedad de ver cómo mi país colapsa sin poder hacer absolutamente nada no hace sino carcomerme. He aquí el porqué. es.globalvoices.org/2025/01/30/ven…

Meet María Corina Machado! 🇻🇪 She is Venezuela’s “Iron Lady”, one of the most feared democratic voices and fiercest voices against dictatorship. Despite threats and arrests, she’s led the fight against Maduro’s regime for a decade. Here’s how she became a symbol of freedom:

In @thetimes, ⁦@jessicaduchen exposes Gustavo Dudamel and Venezuela’s “El Sistema” as propaganda tools for Maduro’s dictatorship. Brilliant insights by @pburelli, @Geoffjbaker, and ⁦@monterogabriela⁩ on corruption in El Sistema 🧵 thetimes.com/culture/classi…

En conmemoración a los 194 años de la muerte de Simón Bolívar, hago una invitación a que lo dejemos morir. Todos merecemos descansar en paz. Y endiosar no es eso. ¡Nuevo artículo en mi blog! link.medium.com/3JCxy8vCpPb

Literature is one of those subjects that seems to be everywhere, in every educational curriculum and every system. Yet, I don't think we're managing to create "well-read" students. What is that, anyways? I wrote about it in my blog! link.medium.com/4DH221c3AMb

Por si alguien cree/tiene que hablar con alguien que cree este discurso, y quiere la respuesta que un profesor (que no pase del asunto) daría: Sabemos *perfectamente* que el 87% de la sociedad española no recuerda cómo se hace una ecuación de segundo grado 🧵

You see this, this is what happens in real life. The bots can't show up on the streets. On the right there (yeah the far right) are the 6 nazis who turned up to cause mayhem. Everyone else is there to stop them. This is England.
