Dear mutuals and followers, sorry for the politics in your dashboard but in some homes today we cannot afford to "ignore the problems".

The country where I come from, Venezuela, has had an election for president that has resulted in fraud. Mr. Nicolás Maduro has proclaimed himself President although the votes have said the opposite. This regime has devastated the lives of its citizens, resorting to violence against those who opposed it. It has brought ruin to a nation once celebrated as a pioneer of Latin American independence, yet many choose to overlook its plight. Venezuela, a country that once extended support to immigrants and provided aid to others, is now dismissed as insignificant by many.

If you are an advocate who values the dignity and needs of individuals, we urge you to raise your voice alongside us. Don't ignore us because we are Latinos, this is also a war. It is a conflict against an individual who has controlled his armed forces, law enforcement, narcotics syndicates, and citizens, rendering any attempts at reform futile despite our vocal protests. I have family members who are unable to depart through legal means, and if they choose to leave unlawfully, they face harsh judgment from people of the outside.

If you are interested, here are more information you may read:

In my country, Venezuela, elections have just been held and the blatant disrespect that the so called government have for their people is astonishing.

How can they claim that Nicolas Maduro, one of the most hated dictators of our time, won 51%/5+ million votes?

How is it possible that he won when the voting panels have been updating every hour how Edmundo Gonzalez (the opposing candidate) has been winning by TRIPLE the vote?

How is it possible that most of the 7.3 million Venezuelan immigrants can’t vote and have no say in what goes on the country that gave them life?

How is it possible that Venezuelans have to fear for their life in voting stations because the military are set there to prevent them from voting?

How is it possible that the pig that’s called president is currently celebrating his “well-earned” victory?

Countries like Chile and Peru are already making statements that they will not recognize the results given by the CNE (the Venezuelan electoral system)

FREAKING ELON MUSK IS MAKING TWEETS REGARDING THE SITUATION

I think it’s sickening how all people can do is talk about it and not do a single thing about it, especially because as a society we try to condemn any harm to human rights just like how we did Russia, who by the way, is one of the dictatorships biggest supporters.

VENEZUELA HAS BEEN FACING AN HUMANITARIAN CRISIS!!!!

People have been facing literal hell since the late 90s and people in power DO. NOT. CARE.

Educate yourself, educate others, and most importantly TALK ABOUT IT, because I’m certain we’re not the first or the last country to go through this.

This is as much as I’ll say.

I hope they all rot in hell.

Important thing that's obvious but the general public lacks media literacy:

Alicent was never against a woman on the throne, and Alicent never wanted Aegon on the throne, but she thought that her family would be in danger if Rhaenyra became queen.

That was only confirmed after Driftmark. Her son was maimed by Rhaenyra's bully sons and she not only didn't show an ounce of sympathy but also demanded that Aemond would be sharply questioned aka tortured. That was the moment Alicent realised that her father was right and Rhaenyra would absolutely hurt her kids.

Even if Rhaenyra didn't do anything, which seems o be a theme right now, Daemon definitely would have killed them, let's be honest. Maybe not Helaena but Aemond and Aegon for sure.

So it's frustrating to see people think that Alicent is finally experiencing what Rhaenyra is because my brothers and sisters in Christ this woman has been a pawn to men her entire life, all she knows is misogyny.

She is not upset because now her voice is not being heard, because her voice WAS NEVER HEARD.

She is frustrated because especially now that shit became real, with the dragons involved in the war, they need someone in charge that is not the hot headed man that controls the flying nuke. Yes Aemond seems like a good strategist but he has a temper and might not be the best option as the person no one can say no to right now.

It also doesn't really makes sense because they are in two very different places. Even if Rhaenyra experiences misogyny, she is their queen, so they will do what she comands. Which has been happening, they don't agree with her but they are no disobeying her. Alicent on the other hand, has no power, at all, so her voice means literally nothing to them.

So yeah it's interesting to see people saying she is finally experiencing what Rhaenyra is because if any of you can point out to me a moment when her voice was actually heard and opinion considered I would really appreciate it, cause as far as I'm aware
