UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Overthrowing a dictator by advocating for mass killing of civilians, all so I can be president. How noble.

María Corina Machado @MariaCorinaYA 2h This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom. We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy. I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!

My opinion is that the nobel committee wants regime change in Venezuela and they see her as the best chance at it. They're fine ignoring shit like this because the ends justify the means.

they literally tried this the past 3 presidential election cycles and only won 1 of them because it happened to be during a once in a generation pandemic with a historically unpopular president
