THREAD: If I make ONE point before I go to bed it is that this happened to me ONCE but it happens to Venezuelans every day - THEY are the real victims here and while they have so little they do everyhting to help others, like me.
I am staying in a hotel tonight because strangers helped me when I had no money and no nothing and today strangers stopped us in the street as we fled the colectivos to warn us of more gunfire and hid us in their shed. THAT is #Venezuela - not this regime!
Today I had a taste of what Venezuelans have gone through for over two decades and it was terrifying and humiliating and I hopeif nothing else these tweets can help the world see what Venezuela is suffering under and in some small way contribute to an opening of eyes.
The hotel is filled with ppl who lived throuh this day at the border and in nearby towns and many of us were victimized by colectivos & army. I spent tonight having much-needed drinks with severl members of the National Assembly who were held at gunpoint by colectivos today
One of those assemblymen said he hopes that the horrors of today helps the world to see what this regime is: one that points guns at journalists & opposition & tries to kill all hope in its dying population. I too pray that today opens eyes and changes not only minds - but tides
