Thank you to every single human who in any way helped create hurricane forecast models — which only began development in the 1950s.

Thanks, science 🙏

Two of the many parts of the Venezuelan experience:

Maria Corina calls on Venezuelans to gather Saturday. The opposition will sustain pressure on Maduro, who will likely further repress dissent by force.

Considering Maduro has called Maria Corina a "terrorist," I wouldn't be surprised if they try to arrest her and Edmundo.

Maduro says he's building two new jails after more than 1,200 arrested since Sunday. He's called the protesters trying to stop election theft "terrorists."

I can only imagine how atrocious the human rights abuses will be in these makeshift prisons.

Venezuelan abuelita doesn't give a damn about the repression and says she's going to exercise her right to march and demand the voting tallies (actas) that will verify who won the election 💛💙❤️

:( Venezuelan defense ministry doubling down to support of Maduro despite opposition's evidence of fraud — meaning things are worse ahead of planned nationwide protests where people who reject election results face years in prison

"Mano, tengo fe" — how a meme became a movement.

Venezuela's historic run in the Copa America soccer tournament coincides with the lead-up to the country's first presidential election after a devastating economic and political crisis.
