The Venezuelan people elected Edmundo González to run their country. Not Pete Hegseth or Marco Rubio. The American people do not support another expensive foreign war that risks the lives of our men and women in uniform.

SHOULD HAVE PUT A WOMAN IN CHARGE

So we have money for war with other countries, but not money for SNAP benefits to feed our own people in our country?

Thinking about Venezuela and Nigeria bombings? Probably nothing to do w Peter Thiel and Mark Andreessen. Another must read by @jennycohn.bsky.social

The sheer audacity to claim this is about drugs just weeks after pardoning one of the largest narcotics traffickers in the world. Does this President think the American people will fall for this?

And we're back to the billionaires trying to reshape human civilization. Read this now. www.vcinfodocs.com

Al Green has filed articles of impeachment 6 times since 2017, the last time being in December. None of these impeachment fetishists care to talk about that though cause those resolutions never went anywhere.

While you’re busy taking shots at and vote suppressing the Democratic Party. What we’re witnessing right now is a direct result of the implementation of PROJECT 2025. bsky.app/profile/icoo...

They arrested Maduro’s wife before they arrested a single Epstein pedophile.

This thread is keeping track of misinformation circulating about the US' attack on Venezuela. A must read!

upset at your attempt to troll and throw shade but I already know you lack common sense and logic🤷🏾‍♀️ So again…we’re the most educated block because this country forced us to be. Y’all are the most undereducated voting block because you’ve been allowed to be. I hope that clears it up for you.

Y’all are privileged turds that have never had to fight for your right to vote or be civically educated to vote once you won that right. Most of our grandparents knew/know everything about civics & politics because it was required of them to be able to vote. They passed that down to us. I’d get

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

In case you are one of the few who does not know, the attacks in Venezuela were never about democracy, just oil and mineral wealth. Here is former SOUTHCOM General Laura Richardson confirming the same thing. She is retired now:

Trump on why he pardoned notorious drug trafficker Juan Hernandez: “It was a Biden set up. Take any country you want. If someone sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail for the rest of his life.”

We've been searching for statements from the vulnerable House Rs on the illegal actions against Venezuela. Here's the statement from Ciscomani (AZ-06). Bold stance from a Congressman in a toss up district! Let's see how it works out for him!

It’s January. I’m 18. My country just launched an invasion under a Republican President to control more oil. It’s January. I’m 53. My country just launched an invasion under a Republican President to control more oil. I am very tired.

Expect to see a lot of this classic Onion headline, from 23 years ago, over the coming weeks.

Meanwhile in St Barths, a crowd assembled to watch from the sidelines

These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver. This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.

Instead of deleting (the obvious option), Josh tries to ‘splain, then turns off replies

When are you going to pressure the republicans and the rest of your demographic? Seriously…what kind of sense does it make to constantly shit on the people that are actually willing to vote for your candidate? I will never understand y’all. Go yell at grandpa and Aunt Karen🤷🏾‍♀️

Larry Hoover, founder of Chicago street gang "Gangster Disciples, had his federal life sentence commuted by Trump on 5/28/25 Prosecutors described his gang as one of the largest. most violent drug syndicates in the U.S Although he's pardoned, he has to stay in jail because of a murder conviction.🙄

How about white folks on here call on Republicans to do something for once? White folks' virtue signaling at Democrats while absolving Trump's Republican enablers of any agency or responsibility is annoying and something we've seen playing out in Democratic politics cycle after cycle.

It's akin to the performative white leftists who follow @kamalaharris.com around accusing her of genocide while staying silent on everything Trump's done to Gaza. It's performative & it's something two generations of young white leftists have learned from people like Bernie Sanders.

During his run for president Donald J. Trump repeatedly said he wouldn't start any new wars. I created a montage from his first 50 campaign stops. Promises not kept.

Denise will show us her own backbone and moral courage by announcing her run for office! Any minute now.

Denise needs to announce her candidacy for any office in 2026. Today.

Every advance in LGBTQ rights came from Democrats who never openly supported those rights. Bill Clinton funded AIDS research and ended the AIDS crisis. Clinton and Obama SCOTUS appointees legalized same-sex marriage. Do with that information what you will.

Time to update the list of US military interventions in Latin America.

No one should be under any illusions that what Trump did here was about "ousting dictators." Trump loves dictators.

I don't know who needs to hear this but NOTHING WILL MAGICALLY CHANGE IF YOUR LEAST FAVORITE DEMOCRAT LEAVES CONGRESS. Republicans will still be the majority: The White House, Congress, and the Supreme Court. Because that's what white voters chose. We gave them full control. Only we can undo it.

My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds. I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are. My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

Frog and Toad went outside. “We can try to climb this mountain,” said Frog. “That should tell us if we are brave.” Frog went leaping over rocks, and Toad came puffing up behind him.

🚨SPECIAL ELECTION - CONNECTICUT STATE HOUSE DISTRICT 25🚨 Democrat: Iris Sanchez Election Date: 🗓️THIS TUESDAY, JANUARY 6TH🗓️ Area: New Britain Notes: A relatively safe blue seat, but you know the drill. We show up everywhere anyway.

Time to play “watch congressional republicans roll over.”

Unbelievable: Washpost Opinion editors were in such a rush to publish this editorial, and then they realize they need to water down that headline (new version on the right) (h/t @north-easton.bsky.social)

Along with so much else, Trump, Miller, Rubio, Hegseth and Ratcliffe are lying to us about Venezuelan history—they didn't steal our land or oil—but they're confident their base is too stupid to know that and too venal to care, and in *that* they're correct

Once again, Congress has vigorously asserted itself in its official capacity to act as an elected suggestion box. The majority isn't serving as a co-equal branch of government. It's just a 200-something-member presidential rewards card as those members each collect six-digit salaries for shrugging.

Reminder: this was ALL preventable. This was ALL predictable. Reminder: this is the fault of REPUBLICANS and voters who didn't take the threat of DJT seriously enough. If you aren't holding Republicans accountable for this, and demanding answers from them, then.... WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Yeah maybe you could run against your republican electeds instead.

VP Delcy Rodriguez, whom Trump indicated earlier today was collaborating with the US government, is live on television right now. Earlier reports that she's in Russia are false. She's in Caracas with the rest of the cabinet. Rodriguez: "We will never again be a colony for any empire"

It’s all so so so stupid

“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”

Note there's no mention of fentanyl. Only a few thousand Americans per year die from overdoses where cocaine is the only drug—versus tens of thousands where cocaine is involved together with other substances, especially fentanyl.

Same. With zero hesitation.

And there ya have it… Officials from top Wall Street firms will be traveling to Venezuela to investigate “investment prospects” of the country. “The trip will feature about 20 officials from the finance, energy and defense sectors.”

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

And I first learned about this nation's bloodthirsty aggression from my dad, who went to Vietnam when he was 17 to, as he always said, "follow the US government's orders to kill other people of color." He was the most radical one of us... I wish he were here everyday AND I'm glad he missed Trump.
