38,000 retweets, 115,000 likes and 3.6 million views for this video, which falsely claims to show Venezuelans thanking the US for detaining Nicolas Maduro.
But the video is a combination of AI-generated clips that was first posted on TikTok. It's not real.
Venezuelans are crying on their knees thanking Trump and America for freeing them from Nicolas Maduro
I added English subtitles so you can understand them
“The people cry for their freedom, thanks to the United States for freeing us”
“The hero, thank you Donald Trump”
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This video is AI generated and is currently being presented as a factual statement intended to mislead people.

Handicap parking spaces are reserved for individuals with disabilities who rely on them for safe and accessible access to businesses, services, and daily activities.
Parking in a handicap space without proper authorization can prevent someone from safely exiting and entering their vehicle.
Our deputies enforce handicap parking laws, not to issue citations, but to protect accessibility, dignity, and fairness for all members of our community.
Before IDEA became law, over a million children with disabilities were prohibited by states from going to school. Please restore the staff who protect the educational rights of children with disabilities. @SenSchumer @SenGillibrand @RepJoeMorelle

Way to go! McQuaid senior Wes Warren saw a man collapse on the sidewalk in Webster. He ran over to help the unconscious man, started CPR and helped save the man’s life! West Webster FD honored Wes and the first responders who all helped that day. 👏 @SPECNews1ROC #CPR

News stations: please think long & hard about how you are reporting the follow up to the Saratoga kidnapping story. The victim was already identified so you are now sharing some very private info about her. #ROC

Last year, I was offered a job even after disclosing a stage IV cancer diagnosis. Highlighting the very best of workplace acceptance and culture.
But today, my husband unexpectedly had a job offer rescinded after letting the company know he may need 2 days off, a month after starting to help me recover from a possible minor surgery.
We’re both software engineers and both companies are in the healthcare space. The response he received highlights the discrimination that not only many patients face but also their caregivers.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disheartened and frustrated by their response. When faced with the choice, be company A not company B.
We’ve faced bigger hurdles and come out on top, so on we go.
In other news, if anyone is looking to hire a talented software engineer w/experience in healthcare. I know a guy 😉
Here’s a photo of us on my birthday this year. We celebrated with a hackathon building tools/apps for cancer patients. Yes, that was my actual birthday request. Things get real nerdy around here.

For those of us with ADHD, the shame of its impact on our lives can be overwhelming.
It's like we inhabit a secret world, somehow managing to find a way to keep things going, despite the simplest tasks feeling gargantuan.
Most people don't understand this. I don't blame them for not understanding it; I just think they would be shocked if they could get a glimpse into how we think and live.

So they ban my book from young readers, confuse me with @oprah , fail to specify what parts of my poetry they object to, refuse to read any reviews, and offer no alternatives…Unnecessary #bookbans like these are on the rise, and we must fight back 👊🏿 DONATE here: instagram.com/linking/fundra…

Excellent article on the negative impact the Medicaid work requirements in the House-passed debt ceiling bill would have on persons with disabilities and family caregivers.
