María Corina Machado wins the Nobel Peace Prize for her work promoting democratic rights in Venezuela

Happy Nobel Peace Prize day to all who celebrate! 🕊️

In a brilliant and well deserved move, an (1) antifa (2) Latina (3) woman, María Corina Machado, wins for her work promoting democratic rights in Venezuela.

Peace and democracy are a movement. 🕊️

So deserving. Congratulations to an incredible thinkpeace "girl"-- she doesn't just think peace, she creates it and shares it. 🕊️
