Such a long article that can be summarised in "Venezuela is a US's banana republic and there won't be elections any time soon because Trump & friends only care about its natural resources".

Honestly, the article is a shame.

Some feel optimistic change will come, but for many it’s business as usual for the movement Hugo Chávez started

I have a bit of time on my hands, so let's do another 24h round of #AskAnAstrophysicist, but this time it's a thematic one.

⭐ What do you want to ask an astrophysicist about stars? ⭐

(I am a professional astrophysicist, part of whose work concerns itself with high mass stars & their winds and I've also taught a variety of astro university courses)

Boosts welcome. I may not be able to reply to all in case of many questions.

But no sanctions applied against Ben-Gvir, Smotrich, Netanyahu or Katz, to put some clear examples of actual responsibles. And this only covers what the state of Israel is doing specifically in the West Bank, it doesn't cover human rights violations in Gaza or Lebanon.

EU approves sanctions on Israeli settlers after Hungarian backing

The sanctions — which include asset freezes and travel bans and will also target Hamas members — come amid growing international criticism of Israel’s settlement expansion and escalating violence in the occupied territories. #EuropeNews

Dear #Android people: there is one Android application I do not trust at all but I might need to install it. Any way you can recommend me to have that application as isolated as possible from everything else on my Android device?
