Venezuela has been in a dictatorship as long as I have been alive. Since 1998. My parents are happy about a coup and hope Maduro dies or gets arrested, which yes. Fuck Maduro, fuck Chavismo. But I've read way too much about the history of US dipping their hands into South America, installing puppet states, fucking everything up and this is not a win. Even if Maduro dies or gets arrested, the US just wants the country's resources without more pretense of negotiations, they are not magically going to fix everything, there is a corrupt reason for this to be happening that is yet to unfold and I'm so tired. Fuck Trump.

Members of the Venezuelan Bolivarian Continental Coalition (BCC) burn a U.S. flag during a ceremony in which they unveiled a bust and a plaque in memory of the late Colombian FARC rebel leader Manuel Marulanda during a ceremony commemorating the six months since his death, Caracas, September 26, 2008.

Yesterday a dual earthquake hit Venezuela within a single minute: 7,2 and 7,5.

Tonight hundreds of people remain missing. Some are dead under the rubble and some are still waiting to be rescued. Hospitals need medicines urgently, so many people have lost their houses, buildings are about to collapse as we speak.

I'm just asking for people to look our way, to notice the suffering in Venezuela and learn more about what's happening. Maybe you'll find out that your country is organizing themselves to send help— or you could offer comfort for the Venezuelans around you that are worried about their relatives.

It just takes a minute to inform yourselves.

Please share and raise your voice on social media.

Venezuela needs all the help it can get!
