Reporter: Did you speak with the oil companies before the operation? Did you tip them off? Trump: Before and after. They want to go in and they’re going to do a great job.

What makes the regime-change operation in Venezuela morally worse than a typical regime change is that Trump doesn’t even plan to give the Venezuelan people a chance for a new leader or democracy. He just kidnapped Maduro to seize their oil while leaving the regime in place

As we old political activists say, elections have consequences. Every person who voted for him, who stayed home, who voted third party, or wrote in an irrelevant name owns this.

Mexico: "The Mexican government strongly condemns and rejects the military actions carried out unilaterally in recent hours by the armed forces of the U.S. against targets in the territory of the Republic of Venezuela, in clear violation of Article 2 of the Charter of the United Nations."

I think people did not want to believe the obvious truth: that January 6th was an attempted coup that was abetted by the highest levels of the Republican Party. It would’ve meant arresting, trying, and possibly imprisoning many of America’s most powerful politicians.

The automated sexual abuse that Musk is doing right now should be national news. People should be going to prison for this shit. The logical conclusion to generative image creation and the internet, pure public automatic violence. Every Pizzagate fear just out in the open.

Zohran’s inauguration brimmed w/the energy that NYC is “a shining beacon of possibility” per @jumaane.bsky.social. Amidst the darkness of authoritarianism, inequality & hate, we have a chance to show what’s possible. That’s always been our mission as New Yorkers—it was profoundly renewed today.

Excitingly* we’re now in Q2 of the 21st century, well done to all of us on that. *Yes it is exciting, shush

my one plea as we ring in the new year with Zohran being sworn in as mayor is to take some fucking wins he’s not going to be perfect, there will be setbacks and disappointments, but take some joy and some pride in the good that comes out of this good things are more durable when we celebrate them

Checking in. How's everyone?

As 2026 starts rolling across North America, my special wishes for a great year for all you kind decent people out there. Special love my fellow dog owners. Don't forget to put the dogs out soon, put fatty treats and drinks up high, and ring in the new year snuggling up on the sofa together. 🐶💛✨

unvarnished gutter racism and Nazism from the president. a disgrace to our country.

Pretty sick you would mourn 2025 after all of its connections to the far right

You feel it? Nope, me neither. Hope everyone is safe. 💙 "A Magnitude 4.9 Earthquake occurred Tuesday night near Susanville, California - just east of Lassen Volcanic National Park. The quake was felt in parts of California, Oregon and Nevada" - Chris Nunley PhD

Remember, if you feel earthquake, shaking or receive an earthquake alert, drop down to the ground take cover underneath the sturdy object and hold on until all the shaking has stopped. Don’t be scared be prepared! www.shakeout.org/dropcoverhol...

One thing I will never, ever understand is people wanting to spend New Year's Eve in Times Square.

Here are four of my most popular cartoons on 2025

Breathtakingly ridiculous. We should have all walked out of this movie with the Birth Certificate plot twist. So dumb.

Christie's is auctioning off some things from Jimmy Carter's estate. Included are some things from his wardrobe (ties, peanut scarves, cowboy hat) and furniture he personally made. Auction starts in two weeks.

Yes to Keanu Reeves and Constantine 2! @jamesgunn.bsky.social Matt Ryan did a great job introducing new fans to the character, so yes, another movie. Then after, how about a series for Ryan too, pls? screenrant.com/keanu-reeves...

I’m not giving George Conway a milligram of my time or attention like please be serious

President Trump’s spiteful defamation suit against the Pulitzer Prize Board may backfire, as the latter is now demanding Trump’s psychological records, prescription medication records, and tax returns in the discovery process. trib.al/LUCScTR

This is the way. Shame these people for as long as they live.

Anthony Mackie got third billing when they released the chair teaser for Avengers: Doomsday, and his Sam Wilson is currently the leader of one of the Avengers factions so rest assured: Not only will he be in the movie, it will be as Captain America and it will be a vital role.

I'm not a gamer but just read this news. What a huge loss for the gamer community. I'm so sorry. What a tragic unfair loss. 💔

Will you or I be next? wapo.st/3Y3ImPx

Meanwhile in the PNW

best to ever do it

Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Totally not shocked that a random homeless guy has been more effective at solving crimes than the current FBI Director, Kash Patel. Makes total sense. BrooklynDad

JUST IN: Suspected Brown University shooter found dead via self-inflicted gunshot wound inside storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire

Quelle surprise

Yep, Kennedy has been dead for 62 years for starters.

Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner’s best friends have released a statement honoring them to the Associated Press:

Rob Reiner once told his parents he wanted to change his name. They thought well, this poor kid is worried about being in the shadow of his famous father. So they asked him, "OK, what do you want to change your name to?" He said, "Carl." Christ, I'm going to miss this man. 😢

Way to kill your entire fucking brand, wow

Hey all, can we all help out our friends in #WashingtonState? I was just messaging with #TeamRubicon ensuring they're going north to help. Nothing like skilled & compassionate people showing up to help in a crisis. 🩶❤️ Funds are tight but if we all give a bit, then that's a lot! teamrubiconusa.org

Realizing that she screwed up monumentally, Susie Wiles issued a tweet which-of course-attacked Vanity Fair But if you read this post closely, you’ll see that not once does she claim the quotes are inaccurate Not. Once.

Fuck

Susie Wiles did 11 interviews with Vanity Fair. All of them, on tape.

This is Rose. She's paralyzed in both her back legs from being hit by a car as a stray. But when she sees her wheelchair harness come out, she knows it's time to walk and roll. 14/10 (IG: twopawrose)
