This is what Machado gave up her Nobel Peace Prize medal for. For Trump to praise Maduro’s former VP even after she says she’s not listening to him anymore. Machado should start shopping for a house in FL, because she isn’t going to be running Venezuela anytime soon or ever. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Q: The president of Venezuela says she has stopped taking orders from you. What do you say?
TRUMP: Well I don't know exactly what's going on there, but I haven't heard that at all. We have a very good relationship.

This is my Hebrew school teacher, Ann Jaffe.
I was nine years old when she told us how her family hid in a forest for two years to survive. She showed us the number burned into her skin. She never dramatized it. She just told the truth — because she believed we had to carry it forward.
