If you are in the Chicago area, don’t miss this event with two stellar scholars, Maryhen Jiménez & Verónica Zubillaga, to discuss the situation in Venezuela in the aftermath of the 2024 elections!

It was cool to be on Arizona Public Radio yesterday (and, miraculously, received more fan mail than hate mail) but I am pissed that the rhetoric that we discussed is still so prevalent. It's a quick listen and well produced: kjzz.org/the-show/2024-…
