🗳️ Tomorrow, Venezuelans vote in the 8th National Popular Consultation, choosing community-led projects for state funding. Led by communes and communal circuits, it puts grassroots democracy into action: people vote, manage the funds, and carry out the projects themselves.
It turns out giving Trump her (questionable) Nobel Prize was for nothing. María Corina Machado says the US has excluded her from talks between Caracas and the opposition.
But Western media says she is the most popular leader in Venezuela and could win an election tomorrow. 🤷🏾

The U.S. is launching a war across Latin America that includes hundreds of U.S. soldiers and airstrikes.
600 U.S. soldiers have started deploying under the cover of fighting drug cartels. This includes moving reaper drones from Africa to Colombia and Ecuador with “plans to expand operations from strikes on boats to strikes on land,” according to the New York Times
This is obviously an expansion of the Donroe doctrine to control and steal the region’s resources.

The adaptation demanded by the asymmetry is captured in the slogan “Venezuela: Reborn United.” Strip away the Misión’s lofty language, and the message is that the Chavista movement needs to make a fundamental break with its past in important ways. https://t.co/3ngpJMQiRa
Washington possibly reasoned that removing Maduro while compelling the existing state to accommodate intervention was more workable than destroying Chavismo and attempting regime change from scratch. https://t.co/Wo5rYbAb7b
