if you tried to do this in the us, you'd have a billion dollar conservative moms group lobbying against it 12 hours later and credulous news articles taking their claims seriously in 24 bsky.app/profile/davi...

Breaking news: About 75 people were killed in Venezuela during Saturday’s military raid to capture President Nicolás Maduro, including dozens of fatalities that resulted from a gun battle at his compound in Caracas, according to U.S. officials.

It's important to remember that Donald Trump lies constantly, but this is Donald Trump declaring that he has used the United States military to extort Venezuela into giving him $1.7-2.7 billion for his personal use.

Jared Kushner has somehow found a place at Coalition of the Willing press conference with Scholz, Zelensky, Macron, Starmer and Witkoff. Kushner has no official position in the US government.

Big: Wyoming supreme court just struck down abortion ban. And get this: The reason is a constitutional amendment codifying a right to make health care decisions... passed in 2012 by conservatives who thought it'd screw Obamacare! Quite the backfire. We explained this lawsuit a few years back:

❗️President Zelenskyy, President Macron and Prime Minister Starmer sign a declaration of intent regarding multinational force deployment in Ukraine in the future.

Wyoming’s top court struck down the state’s near-total abortion ban and a first-of-its-kind prohibition on abortion pills, saying that the laws violated the state constitution.

Another January 6th defeat for the MAGA crowd.

there are 100s of national/international reports featuring details, video from rioters etc. the videos themselves are all over the web. there are multiple highly-detailed reconstructions of the days events that use video, photo, GPS data, sworn legal testimony, etc. the GOP thinks we're total idiots

to me this also looks like the white house officially is setting up their retribution campaign against specific lawmakers who were involved in investigating the j6 insurrection

No one I’ve admitted this year for influenza has been vaccinated.

just a reminder of the initial, in the moment, right wing reaction to jan 6 my favorite is greg gutfeld saying republican condemnation of the jan 6 rioters is an example of their moral superiority over the left www.mediamatters.org/media/4018641

having stricter policies around land management and where communities can and cannot build homes might go a little further in preventing the next tragedy. instead, the cost of building or owning a home in CA will only rise, become even more extremely unaffordable

After Jan. 6, 2021, we sifted through thousands of videos taken by Parler users to create an immersive, first-person view of the Capitol riot as experienced by those who were there. Revisit our full archive, five years later:

Five years ago.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

the constitution says a lot about congress's duty too....

The vaccine autism thing is bullshit but even if you believed it, it seems incredibly fucked up to then believe that raising child death rates is some sort of worthwhile trade-off to reduce autism rates

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

i don't buy the whole "AI is the aesthetic of fascism" thing, but if you create or repost AI slop or even a regular ole meme of the world leader the US just kidnapped, you'll need to grapple with your tacit endorsment of trump's lawless orders

congrats, america, you’re all florida now

Very hard to determine why this happened when the principals just ad lib a new reasoning for it every time they're asked

wondering what the social media zeitgeist would have looked like if we had tiktok and insta in 2003. this medium is SO GOOD at convincing people to sidestep the ethical or moral questions around an issue and instead just broadcast positive justifications for pretty much any agenda

The full wrath of American justice? Wrath?

“The women voting solely on abortion make me crazy,” (Jennifer) Ziemba said. “I’d gladly give up my abortion rights and my daughter’s for my son not to have to go to war. We’ll have peace with Trump.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

FOX & FRIENDS: Rep. Jim McGovern is saying you did not get authorization from Congress and that you just launched an 'unjustified, illegal strike on Venezuela.' Your reaction? TRUMP: These are weak, stupid people

history doesn't repeat but it sure does rhyme

This person went on a buying spree over the past 24 hours. Fresh wallet. Only existed since Dec 27th and has only bet on Venezuela-related markets. polymarket.com/@0x31a56e9E6...

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.

Wall Street’s biggest banks made more money financing green projects than they did from working with fossil fuel companies for a fourth straight year, even as they faced ongoing pressure to pull back from the business

"international influence" in this case being a bunch of nespresso commercials

dem presidential hopefuls take note. the public will accept nothing less.

MAHA loves the mantra "they keep you sick so they can sell you more cures". well they know the game as well as anyone, their intention behind dismantling vaccine advocacy is to create market share, a larger population of sick people desperate for a cure. it's why RFK won't divest from his business

turns out the "don't tread on me" crowd loves to tread on other people

The constitutional remedy for a president who uses collective punishment against people for the crimes of a few is impeachment, removal, and disqualification, followed by a criminal trial.

pedocon theory once again inescapably true

See I knew that the Right could be brought around to supporting gender-affirming care as an expression of autonomy and human dignity (well, kind of)

Contrast this with how this same administration has revoked visas for researchers studying how information ecosystems are manipulated (including by foreign actors like Russia). Seems strange that they welcome back the manipulators and attack those working to identify and call them out.

A really important piece. The times when we have opened our country to talented people from around the world are among the moments when America has been truly great. Trump is destroying that legacy and fomenting unconscionable racism. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/o...
