The problem with imperialism is eventually you run out of other people’s oil

96% of new cars sold in Norway in 2025 were fully electric. "...EVs are now the plurality vehicle in the country, making up 31.78% of the fleet. Diesels are 31.76%, gasoline cars are 23.9%, and hybrids are 12.56%…" electrek.co/2026/01/02/n...

we MUST consult congress when we do illegal war!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stunning late night operation

it seems pretty obvious that there's no future for the left where we don't have a clear and central position that international law should be extremely real as far as the united states is concerned

Nightmarish. CBS News is now running straight state propaganda. They handed Hegseth all three segments and are now tweeting flattering sound bites.

(Semafor) - The New York Times and Washington Post learned of a secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin Friday night — but held off publishing what they knew to avoid endangering US troops .. @semafor.com www.semafor.com/article/01/0...

It really does feel like WWE sometimes

everyone on the tv wants you to know that this is good actually

Wow, they’re troubled? Should we throw a troubled and concerned party? Should we invite Susan Collins??

This war and extra-judicial kidnapping is patently illegal and unconstitutional. Political leaders on both sides must condemn it. It’s not about whether Maduro is a tyrant but whether the US is still governed by laws and the Constitution. As if this morning, we are clearly not.

Timeless classic

New Interview: www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

Norway’s Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide: "International law is universal and binding for all states. The American intervention in Venezuela is not in accordance with international law."

Reminder that almost a quarter century ago, Schumer voted for the Hague Invasion Act, declaring that the US would militarily invade the Hague were it ever to be prosecuted by ICC for war crimes. Biden did too, it was an overwhelmingly bipartisan agreement to be unaccountable to international law.

Maduro was not "captured". He was kidnapped, abducted, criminally and illegally taken. Words matter.

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.”

The USA will have a comeuppance for re-electing Trump and all of the other illegal imperialistic shit we've done that preceded him. It may not be tomorrow or this year or even this decade. But it'll happen. And it'll be ugly.

What do we want? A full and immediate briefing When do we want it? In due course

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

The year is 2003. I’m 17 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil. The year is 2026. I’m 40 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil.

Hard to believe a FIFA Peace Prize laureate would do this.

any democrat who hedges on this should be screamed at until they quit tbh and if they don't, they should lose their next primary

More images of strikes coming in from around Caracas

I think this administration has vastly overestimated the rest of the world's willingness to put up with imperial oil war bullshit right now. I don't think this ends well. No war.

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

Simple as Everyone in DoD who participated in planning and executing this needs to face charges Yes I know the scope/scale of what I'm saying; either laws mean things or they don't

A tour de force An absolute smasher

I just hope Mamdani can finally bring an end to New Yorkers’ disgusting and archaic habit of emptying their chamber pots out the window without a care for who might be walking below

This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.

The US is at war with Venezuela. No Congressional authorization, no public debate, no clearly stated goal, no casus belli, and a gradual ramp up rather than big opening, so many haven’t noticed (or deny it). But this attack removes the ambiguity. US is at war with Venezuela. With no end in sight.

am glad we are finally getting to the general understanding that popularism is "support things that are popular with donors, especially ones that fund me directly or indirectly"

‘Australians for Humanity’ demand the invitation to Israel’s President be withdrawn immediately johnmenadue.com/post/2025/12...

The U.S. government just banned five people from entering the country because it doesn’t like their speech. This ban, according to the State Department, is necessary to protect free speech. If that sounds insane to you, congratulations on your reading comprehension.

The Brennan Center stands up for the Constitution and the rule of law. This year, we fought for checks and balances and due process as the administration repeatedly attacked them. In 2026, we will continue that fight. Will you support our work? #[bit.ly/3MV4zNh

Israel is continuing to bomb, starve, torture and displace Palestinians, committing war crimes and crimes against humanity with total impunity in Palestine, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon. We cannot turn away or let our governments normalise these abuses.

This is Radio Rwanda-level genocidal incitement

There was one Jewish member of the UK cabinet when they voted to create Israel on top of Palestine. Here is the letter he wrote, vehemently opposing the Zionist project

this is me. when ur being mean to me, this is who ur being mean to

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

The slut-shaming of this woman was so messed up www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/s...

Rand Paul: "We've never in our past decided just to shoot smugglers who are unarmed without even proof they're smuggling anything. So I think this is a horrendous thing that should stop. I think it's illegal & immoral... the kids in the military - I'm not for sending them down there to die for oil"
