The Russian dictator is now so paranoid that he had this Russian artist murdered in Poland for paintings like this.
It'd be a shame if we made his works more popular than ever.
Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

Message from inside Iran:
Please help us. The situation here is horrific. It is a full scale war. The regime’s forces show no mercy. They shoot protesters in the head and heart and even finish off those already wounded on the streets. In hospitals the wounded are being kidnapped and killed.
Masih please tell the world we need help 💔

Si usted no es venezolano y no sabe lo que es vivir 27 años bajo una tiranía, no ha perdido 22lbs de peso por las políticas económicas socialistas del régimen, no sabe qué es emigrar y tener años sin ver a su familia, no sabe qué es andar como un paria sin documentos, no ha vivido represión y tortura de sus seres queridos; sepa entonces que la superioridad moral es de muy mal gusto. De pésimo gusto, de hecho.

El régimen de Maduro debe entender que los resultados que publica son difíciles de creer. La comunidad internacional y sobre todo el pueblo venezolano, incluyendo a los millones de venezolanos en el exilio, exigimos total transparencia de las actas y el proceso, y que veedores internacionales no comprometidos con el gobierno den cuenta de la veracidad de los resultados.
Desde Chile no reconoceremos ningún resultado que no sea verificable.
