as a head of State or an opposition leader, such strategic moves can be relevant. But when you accepting the Nobel laureate the bar is higher. Her dedication to Trump is a slap on every other peace activist fighting against authoritarianism. She is also in close alliance with Milei and Netanyahu.

It’s not a matter of just thanking Trump. She has been in close alignment with Milei and Bibi and Bolsenaro for a while. You may not be fond of CodePink, but the stuff mentioned in their statement are facts. It has been documented in other places as well.

No she doesn’t. She has been aligned with Javier Milei (who gave the chainsaw to #Musk) Netanyahu and Trump for a while. She js a known Trump ally. Wanting Maduro out is not enough. www.codepink.org/nobel_peace_...

Why #MariaMachado is not deserving of the #NobelPeacePrize
1. She dedicated her prize to #Trump
If that’s not enough, see what legitimate peace activists like have to say. www.codepink.org/nobel_peace_...

NO. She dedicated her Prize to Trump. She is in alliance with Netanyahu and Melei. We should not learn about fighting authoritarianism or peace from her.

This is really not the time to gaslight people. And he is doing that. Withdrawing support if the ISP and CPD wld be a major deterrent. Way more meaningful than reading SNL scripts for those who are actually resisting.

She is a Trump supporter. She just dedicated her Peace Prize to Trump. Machado isn’t a symbol of peace or progress. She is part of a global alliance between fascism, & Zionism, that justifies domination in the language of democracy and peace. www.commondreams.org/opinion/peac...

Not really. She wants US intervention in Venezuela. She is a MAGA and a radical Zionist. Nobel Committee went for a brown woman as a quisjljng in a performative attempt to be politically correct. Machado just dedicated her Peace Prize to Trump.

Really President Obama? She dedicated her orize to #Trump. Doesnt sound very anti authoritarian to me. People fighring authoritarianism in one country while supporting it in antjher in such a symbolic and public way, dont deserve the Peace Prize.
