FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

“RFK Jr unilaterally made sweeping changes to the routine vaccination schedule for children in the US. This change isn’t based on new data or new evidence, but rather on political and ideological reasons. He bypassed every scientific & clinical process we have, including not taking public comment.”

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

They’re making up the Venezuela strategy as they go. This sums it up… “We’re fundamentally dealing with an unserious, immature Commander-in-Chief, which means we are seeing unserious policy decisions which are incredibly hard to actually analyze and discern what their purpose is.” Michael Feinberg

The president against remote work has been at his house in Florida for 3 weeks.

A year ago, I went to Copenhagen to write about the political crisis sparked by Trump over Greenland. Danes told me that the US can already do whatever it wants on the island. Their conclusion: Trump just wants the U.S. to look larger on a map www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

In the first year of Trump’s second term, he imposed his thuggery on the United States. In the second year, apparently he will impose it on the hemisphere. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/thug-world

“This sounds like an illegal occupation under international law, and there is no authority for the president to do it under domestic law,”…“It’s unclear what he has in mind, but presumably he’d need some funding from Congress to do it.” NYTimes reports on illegality under very soft headline

A CBS News staffer told me this after Tony Dokoupil kicked off his CBS Evening News tenure tonight with a lengthy Pete Hegseth interview: "If this is what Bari and Tony’s CBS Evening News is going to look like, then the we may as well just call ourselves Trump Administration State TV. Pathetic."

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated. According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

Swalwell: He couldn't run a casino, and now he's going to run a country in South America while he fails to run a country in North America?

Finally some news about the human effects of the US’ strikes in Venezuela. 😞

My full statement on Trump’s illegal actions in Venezuela to kidnap a foreign leader, force regime change, and his plans to indefinitely occupy Venezuela.

The guardrails are gone. (It’s about the oil)

From Trump's perspective, Venezuelans' rights, interests, and agency are absolutely irrelevant. We--the US--"need to be surrounded by safe countries" and we--the US--"also need the energy out of the ground." This is "when you're a star, they let you do it" but as foreign policy.

“We’ll be selling oil in large amounts to other countries,” Trump tells a reporter after kidnapping Maduro, announcing “we” will run Venezuela. This lawless thug and his criminal henchman have abandoned the international order. Yes, there is no bottom.

No discussion of democracy. No discussion of elections. Plenty of talk by Trump about running the country and taking the oil. Let’s not forget to thank John Roberts for his role in immunizing this international criminal.

The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too. Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.

So fmr Honduran President Hernandez voluntarily surrendered, and was duly extradited, tried and convicted for drug trafficking, and Trump pardoned him 6w ago. And this morning, Trump illegally attacks Venezuela and abducts its president and his wife purportedly to try them for drug trafficking.

fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US

Secretaries Rubio and Hegseth looked every Senator in the eye a few weeks ago and said this wasn’t about regime change. I didn’t trust them then and we see now that they blatantly lied to Congress.

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela. Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law. Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

Even if Trump’s attack on Venezuela and kidnapping of Maduro somehow led to a positive impact on Venezuela’s future, it would not make these actions by the United States legal, moral or wise. Normalising and legitimising this behaviour endangers all countries - democracies and dictatorships alike.

Where’s Congress?

Is there any point to Congress? WTAF?

it's time to play America's favorite new game, 'what the fuck am I waking up to now'

So does that mean we go take Putin out of Russia? Lukashenko out of Belarus? Khameini from Iran? Hey, why not Orban in Hungary? Please don’t start trying to justify the illegal acts of a rogue state.

What’s going on in #America? #USA attacks another Democratic country. Takes the President prisoner and releases a convicted #drugdealer from American prison and will look to appoint him #President….Is this where #American #morals are? 🤮

“The freedom of the press is crucial to a democratic republic.” “If “We the People” do not know what is happening, we can not hold the powerful accountable. If the powerful are not held to account, we no longer have a functioning democracy.”

A leaked DoJ memo calls for prosecutors to charge people who film ICE with “domestic terrorism” They don’t want their atrocities documented. They don’t want a historical record. They don’t want the world to know. That’s why we have to keep filming. Keep speaking out.

“…the Administration is intentionally fostering chaos. By releasing documents without context, it allows speculation to spread. The public is left to draw conclusions without the information needed to do so responsibly.”

Highly disturbing. Watch and share.

Denmark lost more troops per capita in the post 9/11 war on Afghanistan. Saying they “are not a good ally” because they won’t surrender their territories to the US is lunacy. We are betraying our allies to satisfy the whims of a would-be Emperor for whom the US is not enough.

it's the way the robot doubles up in pain too

“The story involved conditions at CECOT, a massive detention facility that has become a symbol of extreme incarceration practices. The public was supposed to see a documentary that examined what is happening there. Instead, Americans were shielded from it.”

“With every slow-walked release of documents related to the case, more questions arise — especially for the victims. There are as many as a thousand girls and young women, all deserving of justice, and to know who was complicit in their abuse.”

Here's a get-rich-quick idea for anyone with even modest computing skills. Set up a site that offers to remove or neutralize all the idiotic "improvements" that Apple adds with every update. You'll make a killing.

Trump has revoked legal status for at least 1.6 million immigrants over the past year by cancelling programs like TPS and student visas. Remember: these are people who entered the country legally. Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.

“Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story.If the [admin]’s refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story,we have effectively handed them a ‘kill switch’ for any reporting they find inconvenient.”

CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss pulled a 60 Minutes segment on allegations of abuses at an El Salvador detention center where the Trump administration sent hundreds of Venezuelan migrants. n.pr/4pagOTD

“The program was expected to detail the “tortious” conditions that migrants reportedly experienced inside the facility. Just a few hours before it was set to air, CBS announced without explanation that the programming schedule had changed and that the CECOT segment would no longer be broadcast.”
