I don't care about Maduro, as far as I'm concerned, they can shoot him if they want. What matters to me is walking through the streets of my city and seeing the faces of fear on my neighbors. The military patrolling to prevent looting due to panic. It's a collective hangover, a horrible one.

It's 2016 all over again. It's seeing despair entering the circulatory system of all Venezuelans, only now it's more sudden, and we are painfully aware of it.

This is far from improving, and we know it.

I'm sorry and I'm sick. When I saw the news a few hours ago, I don't have the words. Had to repeat to my wife 3 times, "Trump kidnapped the President of Venezuela and his wife."

When I woke up this morning and my family told me the news I prayed it was AI or some Tiktok bullshit...

Then I saw the air strikes videos on CNN and I almost cried.
