Grassroots data collection report more than 180 residential buildings totally collapsed in Venezuela, 35k people missing. Like the 1998 Vargas tragedy we may never truly be certain of the death toll. Please consider donating: https://t.co/uTOJgC4xwy

This was a great interview - had me thinking deeply about where my interest in political science and academia came from and my hopes for the future. Thanks @StanfordCDDRL !
"My ultimate goal is to support better policy and decision-making through my academic work, where research directly informs practitioners and policymakers."

My reflections on the administration's claims of "foreign invasion!", and how these are poised to continue as a typical authoritarian means of curtailing civil liberties and expanding executive power. https://t.co/qSPR6xO34j
Hoy #15May nos vemos obligados a pausar nuestras operaciones. Esta difícil decisión afecta a más de 12.000 niños que se benefician con nuestros comedores.
Pero nuestro compromiso con los venezolanos más vulnerables no se acaba: se transforma, se adapta y seguirá abriendo caminos
Quienes pensábamos que un fraude de totalización de este tamaño no era posible, temíamos mucho amedrentamiento y violencia durante la votación del 28 de julio (6am-6pm). Eso no pasó. El conteo y la totalización de los votos también empezó con normalidad... hasta las 7:30pm.🧵

Al observar el desempeño del oficialismo por estados, nos encontramos con que el chavismo pierde más votos en Carabobo (61 mil menos que en 2021, -18%), Táchira (- 56 mil, -41%) y Mérida (- 28 mil, -24%). Es interesante que el chavismo logra sumar 71 mil votos (+46%) en Sucre.
