Well, this morning I woke up and saw my cell phone and I had a lot of missed calls from my siblings, from my parents. And I picked up the phone and they said, hello Ruby, Maduro is gone. And I started to cry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Rubi Nino: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:04:47] \u003c/em>I called them back, we made a video call with the family, and we all cried together with emotion, joy.

So much theft, so much dictatorship, so many problems, so much extortion. So there have been many years of suffering, of war, of pain, of sadness, of anxiety, of watching innocent people die.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Rubi Nino: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:05:33] \u003c/em>I’m not the one to say what the United States can or cannot do. All I know is that I’m grateful for this day and for this moment, because we have suffered too much. And today was the day God intended. That is, it could have been another place, it would have been a another country, it could have another president, but it was the president of this country who allowed this to happen and who took on the trouble to go to Venezuela and remove President Maduro. So I only have gratitude in my heart, so much gratitude, because as I already said and I repeat, today is a day of victory. And we can never forget that God used Trump as an instrument to take this great step. That’s what I think.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Carolina Morales: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:06:30] \u003c/em>I mean I’m very emotional about what’s going on. My parents are there, my family is there, I have a lot of friends there and I’m scared for them. I’m Carolina Morales, and I have been an organizer for social justice in San Francisco and the Bay Area for about 20 years. I’m terrified of Venezuela becoming Iraq, Afghanistan, I mean, so many examples, Palestine, Honduras, right? Was it 2009 or 10? Taken out? Is the military going to start bombing more? I don’t know. I’m honestly very terrified because I am aware of the history of the United States in other countries and I can see what our federal administration is currently doing within our own borders in the U.S. So if there have been very little limits. Here, I can’t imagine what horrors our peoples in Venezuela might be facing. I mean, I think we need to remember, regardless of our opinions around the Venezuelan government and their management of the country, that everyday people in Venezuela need food, need medication. My father has cancer. He actually has to start radiation. We have over 150 sanctions at Venezuela. Has had to suffer through already difficulty finding medication in certain items or being able to find them but so expensive that sometimes it’s prohibitive so if like what the consequence of this is actually going to be more suffering and having people die in more terrible ways and what’s our responsibility as U.S. Citizens in this moment\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Alejandro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:09:11] \u003c/em>There are a lot of emotions at play. We feel joy, but at the same time, bewilderment. We’re excited, but also worried about our families. It’s very confusing. It’s a very, very confusing time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Alejandro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:09:26] \u003c/em>No Venezuelan, was prepared for this intervention to happen. We had already been in this situation for more than 20 years, and in a way, many people had even lost hope that this would ever happen. The fact that the United States intervened and Maduro is no longer in power doesn’t mean that the evil has been eradicated. Because the destruction of a country is not the responsibility of just one person. There are many bad people. People who are still in power in Venezuela. But the fact that one of them is gone is a step forward. It’s better than nothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Alejandro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:10:12] \u003c/em>I belong to this generation of young people who are deprived of their right to vote, their right to education, their right with their families, their rights to be in their own country. And we are forced to go abroad, to do all sorts of things we didn’t want to do, just in the hope of surviving and one day having the dignified life that was denied to us in our country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Alejandro: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:10:40] \u003c/em>When you don’t know what has happened in Venezuela over the last 20-25 years, you can’t give an opinion. Because to outsiders, even though it might look like an aggressive invasion, we know that’s what had to happen for that man to leave. Because nobody was going to get him out through dialog. So sometimes, unfortunately, you have to resort to aggression to solve some things. And that’s happened. And it worked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guillermo Useche: \u003c/b>\u003cem>[00:11:24] \u003c/em>I would say among most my friends, there are a lot of people that are feeling things like me, like there is some kind of relief but not really and we are not happy with any side. My name is Guillermo Useche Flores. You can call me Guillermo. It’s definitely, I’ve been overwhelmed by like different feelings and thoughts. I went from like surprise and anxiety when I saw, I saw everything unfolding from the very beginning. I was watching TV, the news came out and then I was scared. I obviously didn’t want that to happen. Um, then… When it wasn’t news that Maduro got captured, I definitely felt joy and some, how relief or like a justice, a feeling of justice being served. But then, you know, I don’t know how interested the government of the United States is in really changing stuff down there. Trump, it’s a guy who has no respect for the law, no respect the constitution, for institutions. So. I don’t know how much he could be actually interested in democratic governments being in countries like neighboring country. Like down there right now, I was just talking with a friend of mine before I called you. They were telling me that the cops are like out there checking phones to see if you were texting about Maduro, what you were saying, which is not weird. But it’s just like started happening more often. It’s confusing. It’s been really hard to sort my feelings and thoughts. I’m very worried about the future of my country and the future of this country.\u003c/p>\n\n",

I hope you all got some rest and rejuvenation over the holidays. And maybe you are getting back into your morning routine like I am, or maybe you’ve got a new New Year’s resolution to be more informed about what’s going on locally in your community. Whatever the reason, I’m so glad you’re here. And me and the rest of the Bay team are excited to bring you new episodes of the show in 2026 right here every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
