Ian Watkins’ ex girlfriend reports him multiple times to the police for what he was doing and they treated her as if she was hysterical in every sense of the word. Misogyny is dangerously and deadly, it played a huge role in those poor children’s torment. Hope he went roaring

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

She's Rubio's best mate in South America. Even closer to the Trump regime than Bolsinaro. Don't be fooled by Machado you Americans, she is "antichavismo". In English for you that means she's for privatising state owned companies - oh wait isn't that what the Trump regime wants for the US?

Unsurprising behaviour of her faction including Guaido and Lopez, sucking up to the US and found later to have embezzled Venezuelans money. Even justifying the extrajudicial murder of individuals in Venezuelan waters. She is not peacemaker and DOES NOT represent us. Pathetic! and just to get power!

“Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado on Friday said her historic Nobel Peace Prize isn’t just a victory for her embattled nation — it’s also a tribute to President Donald Trump, whose policies have “restored democracy and freedom in the Americas.”

Anything but peaceful. A polarising and hardliner figure in Venezuela's opposition, known for undermining efforts of others in the opposition for a negotiated solution. Aligned to extreme right parties like Vox, her family is one of Venezuela's traditionally rich w/longstanding vested interests.

“….I’m Venezuelan-American, and I know exactly what Machado represents. She’s the smiling face of Washington’s regime-change machine, the polished spokesperson for sanctions, privatization, and foreign intervention dressed up as democracy.”

Yes, Donald Trump said that the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, called him and said she accepted the award in his honor because he "really deserved it".

are you kidding me? Machado was involved in a 2002 coup against the then-President Hugo Chávez. She was signed a decree that dissolved Venezuela's democratic institutions. She aligns herself with Trump's blowing up of boats in international waters, and there are other concerns. why would you post

The sand, wet silk, mirrors a dull sky. The sea a soft spread of lacey foam. Two dark sentinels stand on stick-thin legs. Their oranges beaks dip and pluck at secrets in the damp. And beyond, on the calm grey, two silent cargo ships - motionless specks on a vast slate.
