God, THE SECRET AGENT is phenomenal — so formidably layered, formally precise and ferociously entertaining all at once. I feel like its stance on state violence, political memory and film interpretation is worth wrestling with and dissecting more than most things I saw last year.

More than a week after two powerful earthquakes shook Venezuela, families across the devastated region are clawing through mountains of pulverized concrete with their bare hands to locate thousands of relatives missing in the ruins.

Son una vergüenza.
Happy Venezuelan Independence Day to everyone celebrating across New York City.
Today, we honor Venezuela's long struggle for self-determination, the generations of people who have carried that history with them to our city, and Venezuelans around the world who are still reckoning with the tragic aftermath of this devastating earthquake.
Our hearts are with our Venezuelan brothers and sisters during this moment of celebration and struggle.
¡Feliz Día de la Independencia! 🇻🇪
No se encontraron lingotes de oro en La Guaira, no murió un rescatista salvadoreño, no hay registro de denuncias generalizadas de niños desaparecidos, etc: gracias @cazamosfakenews por su trabajo desmintiendo bulos tras el sismo.

I went back to La Guaira yesterday and there was a different kind of sadness. Not the shock and panic of the first few days but almost an emptiness. It felt quieter - buildings and piles of rubble, but abandonded, now without anyone scouring through them.
At other sites there were noisy diggers clearing the dusty concrete and remnants of people's lives - books, clothes, broken furniture. Most of the international rescue teams had gone, much of the press had too.
I spoke to one guy who had written 'We are alive' on the outside of his house to let people know he and his mother were ok if he nipped out anywhere. But speaking to him I found out his two daughters had been killed in Catia la Mar. He was far from ok.
Another guy walked out from a collapsed building that was mostly concrete slabs and told me he was picking up the remains of his brother and nephew. The remains were just bones. The earthquake had started a small fire that burned their bodies.
A nun stood looking at a heap of debris. I wondered what she was thinking, trying to make sense of it all. And probably unable to.
The Venezuelan government is failing to facilitate earthquake rescue efforts that could save more lives, said survivors, first responders and former U.S. officials. https://t.co/hh4TKcaMFE

#DENUNCIA El líder de los Topos de Chile denuncia que son interrumpidos constantemente durante su trabajo por militares venezolanos que los acosan, pidiéndoles sus documentos de identificación incluso dentro de los túneles que construyen para salvar vidas.
Francisco Lermanda, líder de los Topos de Chile:
"Un militar se metió en la zona de desastre, donde esta nuestra gente metida en túneles... para pedirle los documentos"
"Cuando una de nuestras rescatistas le pregunto el militar oye amigo tú me has pedido mis documentos al menos 5 veces en los días que tenemos aquí y ya tu me conoces, por qué lo haces? El militar respondió: por que nosotros tenemos ordenes de chequearlos cada cierto tiempo porque ustedes pueden ser espías yanquis o de Chile"
Mi amigo Daniel Echeverría tomó esta foto entre muchas otras que ha tomado en La Guaira
La imagen habla por sí sola:civiles trabajando mientras el de uniforme se queda de brazos cruzados y con los guantes blanquitos
Que Dios los perdone, porque el pueblo jamás podrá
🫓 Giving cash is the most selfless act you can do right now from abroad.
There’s no photo op, no instagram reel, no self promotion post. It’s just between you, your bank account, and the beneficiary.

La inmensa mayoría de los colombianos está orando y apoyando al pueblo hermano de Venezuela.
