#24May#Helicoide@LuisCarlos El Helicoide sigue siendo un centro de tortura.
Aún quedan centenares de presos políticos en muchos centros de reclusión civiles, militares y clandestinos.
Todos deben ser libres.
I was born in Venezuela.
My family came here with nothing and we knew no one. But my parents always taught me that in America, you could be and do anything, so long as you worked hard and treated people with respect.
When I was in college, I was playing football and my grandfather—who fled Europe during the Holocaust—was dying of cancer.
My father called and said, “If you want to see him again, this is your last chance.” So, we flew down to Caracas, and it happened to coincide with a momentous event in Venezuelan history.
Hugo Chávez came to power in 1998, and the Constitution said he could run for only one five-year term. So, in 2003, like any self-respecting dictator, he petitioned the Supreme Court to run again. And to their credit, the judges ruled he could not.
So, what is a self-respecting autocrat to do? He packed the Supreme Court with his buddies and petitioned for reconsideration. This time the Court said, “Not only did we get it wrong, not only can you run again, you can run as many times as you like, until the day that you die.” And that's what he did.
He was president until 2013 when he died. After that decision came down, Venezuelans took to the streets to protest and that coincided with my last trip to see my grandfather.
During my visit, my grandfather asked me to take him out on the balcony so we could play chess one last time. He had taught me how to play as a little boy.
People were protesting on the streets below.
He said to me, “Your father tells me you want to go to law school.” I said I did.
He asked, “What kind of lawyer are you going to become?” I said I didn’t know.
Then he gathered all the strength that he had, and he lifted his bony finger out at the crowd and he said, “Always remember, this is what happens to a country when good people don't serve.”
And so, when I was 34 and the president intended to nominate me to be a federal judge, which is a lifetime appointment, people said, “You're crazy. You got your whole life ahead of you to make money for your family.”
But for me, the opportunity to serve this great country was a no-brainer.
And what you should know is this country is very much worth serving.
Son miles de venezolanos que hoy en día viven en Estados Unidos que han sido víctimas de persecución y que todavía tienen órdenes de captura activas por parte del régimen. El régimen no ha cambiado, y no importa si llegas a Venezuela directamente desde Estados Unidos o haciendo escala: si les da la gana, pueden detener de manera arbitraria o secuestrar a quien quieran. Esa es la realidad que han vivido los venezolanos por más de 25 años.
🚨 Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado drew thousands of roaring supporters in Madrid.
She’s refusing to meet Spain’s far-left socialist PM Pedro Sánchez.
Do you stand with Venezuela’s right-wing opposition?
A. Yes
B. No

Shohei Ohtani escribió las siglas “MR” en su gorra para el juego de hoy en Toronto.
Es una muestra de apoyo a su compañero, Miguel Rojas, quien perdió a su padre este martes en la tarde.

🚨🇺🇸🇻🇪 Para quienes no lo recuerdan o no vivían en Estados Unidos antes de 2019, cuando la embajada y el consulado de Venezuela estaban abiertos, se olvidan de que ese cuerpo diplomático estaba plagado de funcionarios vinculados al régimen, incluyendo a espías vigilando las actividades del exilio.
Muchos de estos “diplomáticos” intimidaban a quienes se acercaban a manifestarse pacíficamente en las afueras de su sede en Brickell.
La posible reapertura de una embajada o consulado venezolano en Estados Unidos responde a los intereses del chavismo, no a los de los venezolanos.
Después del título del martes, Omar quiso que le añadiéramos algo algo al video.
Se los dejo por aquí. Se estrena en unos minutos.
Gracias a @cmrondon por prestar su voz para la narración del guión que armamos @armandoaro y un servidor.

Como yo fue quien grabó el momento y editó con las imágenes, yo lo comparto porque es un orgullo tenerlo de compañero, hermano y amigo. Gracias @EJerezESPN eres el mejor por lejos.
Venezuela is a magnificent baseball country, rich with history, full of life, with a love and passion for the game that makes it better. Their players have been moved to tears with good reason. Baseball means everything to them. This means everything to them.
🚨 ¡NADIE ESTÁ A SALVO! Jorge Rodríguez lanza una sentencia de terror: Los venezolanos con TPS o asilo en EE. UU. QUEDAN FUERA de la Ley de Amnistía. 😱 El chavismo se quita la careta y confirma que la persecución no tiene fronteras.
El régimen deja claro que el "abrazo" de bienvenida es, en realidad, un par de esposas. ¡DIFUNDE! 📢🔥
Jorge Rodriguez no sabe nada.
Pretende saber pero miente.
Todo lo que dice es falso y para empezar ni siquiera sabe cuántos venezolanos con TPS hay en USA ni lo que significa.
Perseguidos en USA
Condenados en Venezuela
Todo mal.
