I’m running the #LondonMarathon tomorrow, trying to raise £5000 for @HealingVzla to install a water treatment plant at a public hospital in my beloved Venezuela.

Please help with any support you can via the page below. Thanks so much.

Great portrait of women’s struggles in today’s Venezuela. https://t.co/H3quDxvrJ3

@STHGibbs @dsmilde @GabrielHetland @nytimes The original tweet should be removed and @GabrielHetland ‘s thread against sanctions reposted. True that #sanctionssuck but completely unfair to use an attack on quality journalism as a premise to make the point.

After Vannesa Rosales helped a 13 yr old girl get an abortion following multiple rapes, she went to jail. The man was arrested and let go. Over 3 months later, he now has an indictment and she is on house arrest, facing prison time - w/ @NavaMariela https://t.co/jPAtJTn4H8

“I began to shake, I cried from joy,” said Mr. Lares. “It was the first time something special has happened to me.” Wonderful piece by ⁦@AKurmanaev⁩ & ⁦@IsayenHG⁩ https://t.co/AKjFQzn95B

All the effort is summed up here: we need to offer these #children the basic #food that will allow them to grow up healthy.

This is why all of us, the volunteers of @HealingVzla are asking you to help us. Be part of the change. Donate at https://t.co/u6sUzOoku2 #GivingTuesday

Interesante opinión sobre Trump y Venezuela - sobre todo los parecidos muy obvios entre Trump y Chávez: https://t.co/YAzLriDgCj

If you like symmetry, this will appeal.
Final #ElectoralCollege tally is
@JoeBiden 306
@realDonaldTrump 232
In 2016 election it was
@realDonaldTrump 306
@HillaryClinton 232
A win that Donald Trump declared in 2016 as a landslide, he now says is rigged

@andrewrosati @philgunson Ironic when Trump’s style is so similar to Chavez’s - a narcissist whipping up his base, spreading hate and division...

I never thought Venezuela’s oil industry would - or even could - sink to this level. If you can help, support @HealingVzla https://t.co/ba7JhiOrO0

Maduro said returning Venezuelans would be welcomed “with love and open arms.”

But those returned have been called “biological weapons” while many, like Juan Meza, a pastor who now spends his days bartering chicken for rice, are struggling to survive.

What a lovely video of appreciation for @HealingVzla’s amazing nutrition programme in Sucre state. @duncanhilluk @vanessaneumann

[HealingVZLA @HealingVzla]

In this dining room in #Guaraunos, Sucre state, we offer lunch and a healthy snack to 88 children. Those younger than a year old receive a bottle of formula.
This video moves us deeply. 5 children suffer from #acutemalnutrition. The help we provide is indispensable, Help us help

Nearly two decades ago, Hugo Chavez was languishing in the polls. He deliberately provoked mass protests that led to a coup that came within an inch of sweeping him from power. Thereafter, the dismantling of democracy proceeded apace. Watching Trump now reminds me of that.

#Venezuela's vice-president praises one of the lowest-ranked and worst-equipped public health systems in the world as a key asset in the fight against #Covid19. A reminder: most hospitals can't guarantee soap or running water. https://t.co/UMc24lH1gg

[Stephen Ixer @sixer1]

@websterng It beggars belief. I think we’re headed for the sidelines of Europe and the world as an insignificant country with an arrogant and incompetent government at the helm.

[HealingVZLA @HealingVzla]

With the goal of helping to protect Venezuelan medical staff, we organised the distribution of PPE kits.
Each kit contains:
· 50 pairs of gloves
· 50 masks
· 1 gallon of disinfectant
· 1 gallon of antibacterial gel
