Maria Corina Machado just visited Rodeo 1, a prison where dozens of political prisoners remain.
Human rights groups estimate that there are still well over 300 political prisoners who have not been freed following the capture of Maduro.
Good article if you're even casually interested in what's going re: Venezuela and the US. And a good resource to understand why Venezuelans are nervous if Rubio leaves government.
In NYT interview, Rubio said elections in Venezuela would “ideally” be held next year, but he could not guarantee elections would be held before Trump left office.
He also voiced support for closer military cooperation between VZ and U.S.

I never thought I'd be sad/worried about Rubio leaving a position of power... but here we are.

🫓 After the @OliverBlanco speech in the @CumbreIberoA, MCM endorsed the @StateDept agenda meant to name a new TSJ before this year, then the CNE, and then the declaration of Maduro’s permanent vacancy.
“We’ll keep working with the people to reach broad national agreements…”

Just a reminder.
Elon Musk was among the biggest losers of election night.
He doled out around $446 million — the most a non-candidate has ever spent on an election — but his preferred candidates were swamped, losing almost everywhere.

The US midterms offer a clear winning strategy for the European left:
- Don't be in government.
- Have an extremely unpopular and delusional incumbent.
- Hope he starts a war nobody understands.
- Hope for soaring gas prices and inflation.
- Face historically weak candidates.

🫓 The Rodríguez legislature is witnessing an absurd spectacle where chavista negotiator Pedro Infante justifies the continued existence of the Anti-Hatred Law on the grounds of a “recent history of bigotry and violence.”
Maduro agents killed +250 people during the periods of social unrest he alludes to.

My close friend Marilú Paredes, 63, from Cabimas, Venezuela, was detained by US immigration on August 25 and deported to the Central African Republic, a country she had never set foot in and whose language she doesn't speak.
She left behind her husband, who has a chronic illness and depended on her care, plus her 3 daughters and 4 grandchildren. Her family still doesn't know why she was sent there or how to bring her home.
She's not the only one. Since 2025 the US has sent nearly 28,000 people to "third countries" that aren't their own, 536 of them to African nations, Venezuelans included. Many had no ties to those places, and some even had legal protection from removal.
Her daughter Mariu started a fundraiser to cover lawyers and basic needs. Every donation helps bring Marilú closer to her family, and if you can't give, a repost helps a lot 🙏

You don't know how weird/rare/hopeful it is to see an opposition figure be shown live on TV in Venezuela.
Like Bigfoot playing the secret Wu-Tang Clan album.
