I can think of two or three Dem electeds who might be able to do it, but I haven’t seen indication that they will run yet. The people being hyped are pitiful.

I have seen literally nothing from the crew that is considered Dems 2028 crop that convinces me they can decisively defeat the Republicans and govern well. The hope for the party is some dark horse emerges in two years.

"Tengo 85 años y no tengo esperanza, solo quiero morirme pronto." For @AJEnglish, I spoke with those who lost loved ones to the military violence for which Alberto Fujimori was found guilty. They are now speaking out against his early release from prison. aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/1…

Exactly one year since nationwide protests erupted after the failed self-coup of Pedro Castillo, protests have once again broken out - this time spurred by the release of Fujimori from prison.

2 weeks ago, 33 gay and bisexual men were arbitrarily detained in Valencia, Venezuela. Despite committing no crime, some were held in prison for 72 hours, while others were held for 10 days. My latest for @AJEnglish: aljazeera.com/news/2023/8/10…

On Peru’s Independence Day, the anti-Boluarte protest movement continues. But in Plaza Dos de Mayo, there are not a lot of people here compared to past weeks protests.

Protesters now making their way to Plaza San Martin. Eventually they may try to get to Congress where Pres. Boluarte will be delivering an address at 11:30am.

An honestly disturbing story coming out of Venezuela that has not been covered a lot in English media. 33 men were arrested in a raid on a gay sauna in the city of Valencia and have been charged with “indecency” and “conspiracy to commit unlawful acts”.

@anitae123 It could be, but I haven’t seen that orange gas so much on the protest side. It’s usually on the police side.

Lots of police entering plaza now to chase people out. A police used his baton to hit my backpack as I was running out with the rest of the protesters.
