The world has been plunged into needless crisis because of the failure of the US political and legal system to deal with the criminal activities of Donald Trump. Serious allegations of a $10 million bribe were buried by the Attorney General. charlieangus.substack.com/p/how-to-bri...

Whether or not Maduro was bad is beside the point. Hussein definitely was bad *and* the invasion of Iraq in 2003 on the pretense of WMDs was wrong. costsofwar.watson.brown.edu/costs/human

But the rape statistic? Up 16%?

Paul Singer, whose firm owns the US subsidiary of Venezuela's state-owned oil company, spent millions in 2024 to re-elect Trump. Now, after Trump's invasion of Venezuela on behalf of Big Oil, he's set to cash in on his investment. A government of, by, and for the billionaires.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

TL;DR: Trump claimed he had nothing to do with Project 2025—yet implemented nearly half of its goals.

No mother, parent or child should have to go through this, regardless of immigration status.

This new war is not only illegal, reckless and deeply corrupt, it is the latest in a series of increasingly desperate distractions from the EPSTEIN Files. #ImpeachAndConvict47NOW

On the "boots on the ground" question and Trump saying that it will mainly be about protecting oil operations. Given this framing, we should expect a massive payday for politically connected mercenary companies, who will use this to expand their private armies.

The invasion of Venezuela is bandit politics. It is also a direct attack on international law. Trump, Putin, Netanyahu are working to dismantle the international rules based order. Canada must get ready for what comes next. @meidascanada.ca @meidastouch.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYqU...

The aging pedophile who wants to be a king has kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation without congressional approval. If the United States had an opposition party, they would treat this as an illegitimate act and start impeachment proceedings immediately.

In a nutshell.

Yesterday will live on as a day of infamy for the Conservative Party of Canada as its leader, petulant piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre, cheered on 🇺🇸America’s recklessness lawlessness with Jason Kenney clapping along. Entirely unCanadian. 🙄

"Lawlessness is the norm" - CNN host about Venezuela, without a drop of irony or self-awareness.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

What the United States did in Venezuela is prohibited under international law, which bars the use of force as an instrument of national policy.

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system. It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Many don't realize that the most vulnerable or immune compromised depend on the rest getting vaccinated properly to keep diseases from spreading out of control. It's not just “my body, my choice” when it comes to saving lives.

i quite like idea that someone on here had of treating any criminal act committed by an ai as having been committed by the ai company’s ceo

Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while simultaneously removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group. “Big tech has made their choice.” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

Here is another good idea, take all ICE employees that live in California.( they must ID their employer for state tax) and run a criminal background check, I’m sure there are a ton of outstanding warrants, judgements, child support cheats. Serve them, garnish them, arrest them. They are flush now

Today's billionaires own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the country. Here's how wealth inequality spiraled out of control — and what we can do to fix it. https://youtu.be/wOI8RuhW7q0?si=Fq4N9wTQhLHawXq7

Republicans rushed tax cuts for the wealthy but delayed their cuts to Medicaid and food assistance. Why? So they don't kick in until after the midterms. Help spread the word.

Looking back to @wwattribution.bsky.social studies in 2025 showed again, in stark terms, how unfairly the consequences of human-induced climate change are distributed. The world does not have to be like this, we have a lot of agency to make it better. www.worldweatherattribution.org/unequal-evid...

And it is of course fierce, trenchant, and to the point and everyone should read it.

I take a little time off and the leader of Canada’s official opposition goes on a livestream with a guy who begged me for feet pics This is why people think canada isn’t real!!!!!

Who agrees? ✋

For @nationalobserver.com, I spoke with U of T’s Laura Tozer. Last year, she was adding climate policies to her lecture slides. This year, she’s deleting them, and asking Prime Minister Mark Carney to explain the rollbacks directly to her students.

Seems to me if voting didn’t matter the people who benefit most from the destruction of democracy wouldn’t be trying so hard to demolish democracy
