"Addressing this constellation of armed groups through state-building and multilateral cooperation could go some way toward providing Venezuelans with stability in the post-Maduro era. But that is far from guaranteed" theconversation.com/venezuelas-c...

"This is not about choosing between unilateral intervention that runs contrary to international law, or ignoring years of human rights violations." www.ohchr.org/en/statement...

Without any official figure the current estimated toll of the US attack is around 80, of those 32 are Cubans citizen (confirmed by Cuba), very likely Maduro's protective ring; estimated 22 to 30 Venezuelan military personnel but no confirmation of any kind.

Empezar el año leyendo mas ficción contemporánea venezolana para entender qué nos ha pasado. Ya leímos a Puyana 2024, ahora toca Morán 2023: “Volver a Cuándo”

Just finished reading Freedom is a Feast by Alejandro Puyana. I was grateful for the epilogue and for the chance to revisit home.

In November, DAWN convened feminist economists, activists, and researchers in Mexico City to reflect on current crises and alternatives as part of the #GlobalSouth Perspectives on #FeministMacroeconomics project, marking the close of its first research phase. ✨ Stay tuned for what’s next! #DAWN40

The blatant racism of the #Trump Administration's comments on Venezuela reach new heights. Imagine how worthless some lives are to them, that they can say things like they will "keep on blowing boats up until Maduro cries uncle.” thehill.com/blogs/in-the...

Another opposition leader died in custody in Venezuela

« The detainees include four children ranging in age from under two years old to about 16 years old. » Aiken, prof at Queen’s University Faculty of Law: “It should give all Canadians pause about travelling to the United States right now, because it basically tells us that there’s a real risk.”

Write like a creep but make it classy.

Zeteo has made a searchable database of all new 26,000 files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Despite Trump saying this is a scam with "all arrows pointing to the Democrats," these have a whole lot of Trump in there. In fact, he's mentioned in these more than anyone else. Take a look for yourself:

US/El Salvador: Torture of Venezuelan Deportees www.hrw.org/news/2025/11...

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative. The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

"Drake’s works stand out for a stunning act of defiance: ...it was illegal at the time for enslaved people to learn how to read or write. On one jar, Drake reflected...: 'I wonder where is all my relation / Friendship to all—and every nation.'" www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/a...

“Many of us have this habit: making our lives as tight and small as possible, and cutting ourselves off from others. It’s heartbreaking, the isolation we are prone to falling into.”

Their rights are protected by no one. "The residents and relatives interviewed by the AP requested anonymity out of fear of reprisals from drug smugglers, the Venezuelan government or the Trump administration." apnews.com/article/trum...

"One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a former military cadet. And a fourth was a down-on-his-luck bus driver." apnews.com/article/trum...

This opinion is as accurate as it might be unpopular in some opposition circles. There's plenty of experience to warn against fictions promoted to incentivize US invasions. "Maduro is a heinous dictator ...but what is to be done should be developed on the basis of real facts."

"Gen Tomer-Yerushalmi's decision to enable the footage to be released is seen as the one time she lived up to the responsibilities of her post. The video is regarded ...as concrete evidence backing up multiple reports of abuse of Palestinian detainees since the Hamas-led 7 October 2023 attacks..."

We just taped an episode of @academicaunties.com about white women + white feminism. (Need to provide the usual disclaimers here that ofc we all have white women friends, not all white women are performative in their allyship etc.) It will be 🔥

OMG I knew there was an episode I needed to hear! Last congress a fabulous colleague used the term "polite hostility" to describe some university spaces and I include the niceness of "nice white ladies" in that bag too!

Most drugs trafficked into the US are smuggled over land through official border crossings, in small quantities by vehicle or on foot by US citizens or LPRs. Cartels recruit citizens because they’re less suspicious and use official crossings because so many people go through them every day.

DM me or email me if you want to learn more about publishing with CP! This is a really exciting moment for the journal.
