—Bienvenido a Quirón, ¿en qué puedo ayudarle?
—Venía a hacerme un seguro.
—¿Está enfermo?
—Claro, por eso vengo.
—Pues no podemos ayudarle. Vaya a la pública.
—¿Pero ustedes no son una empresa de sanidad?
—Sí, pero estamos aquí para hacer dinero. Lo de curar a la gente es secundario.

Maduro was a dictator.

But let's not pretend Trump cares about democracy.

He cozies up to dictators all over the world when it suits him.

Trump has been clear: he wants Venezuela’s oil.

That’s not democracy. That’s imperialism.

This is why we need to rebuild union power.

Strong unions serve as a countervailing force to runaway corporate power and ensure workers share in the profits their labor creates.

Otherwise, the rich eat up a larger and larger share of the pie — like this:
Mike Konczal: Released this morning, the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ labor share of income for Q3 2025 is the lowest on record.

Cuba recibía unos 90.000 barriles diarios de petróleo de Venezuela en los años de Chávez. Al final de 2025, ya eran sólo 35.000. Ahora hasta ese número está en duda. El hundimiento económico es total. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/w...

I am horrified by the murder of a woman in Minneapolis by an ICE agent.

This is what fascism looks like in real time, where a far-right government emboldens a violent death squad to terrorise communities with impunity.

Thank you
What a treasure this book has been.
Fascinating, inspiring, and touching.
It made me miss my granny and feel certain I have the energy to fight fascism til my last breath.
Highly recommend!

Trump's pretorian guard, ICE, does in US cities that which the US military is doing in Caracas and elsewhere: exercising raw brutal force to subjugate anyone, globally, who resists his imperial power. Resistance must also be universal. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Commentary: The focus on the moment of capture risks obscuring the more consequential lesson. The meaningful parallel between Panama in 1990 and Venezuela in 2026 is not the removal of an authoritarian leader. It is the governance vacuum that follows externally forced political rupture.

OPINION: Donald Trump has pronounced that America “will run Venezuela.”

But one can only hope this administration is careful to avoid minefields from previous U.S. missions.
Whatever’s next for a post-Maduro Venezuela, it can’t be a repeat of previous failures
Unlike previous missions, the U.S. must approach Venezuela with a lighter hand, a shorter timeline, a healthy dose of humility and lower expectations.
