Attack and a dozen transport helicopters see flying at low altitudes across Caracas, the transport helis have a capacity of up to 400 US invaders. US paratroopers are reported to have landed at Maduro’s residence and are fighting Venezuelan defence forces. #VenezuelaInvasion

Attack helicopter providing very close direct fire support. Based on the rocket pods and minigun fire this is likely an MH-60L DAP or AH-6, both of which are used by the 160th SOAR

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

That's everyone at the tables numbered one though 47. They paid for the extra premium gold package.

Associated Press: “CARACAS, Venezuela — At least seven explosions and low-flying aircraft were heard around 2 a.m. local time Saturday in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas.”

the founding fathers were very clear that you’re supposed to lie to Congress by presenting them misleading intelligence estimates to get their permission to go to war under false pretenses

Tony Dokoupil, the new anchor of CBS Evening News, has promised to be more accountable and transparent than Walter Cronkite.

Fuck.

The moderate position is indeed The Hague

Oh good, you're awake again ❤️

Well shit.

It’s incredibly disturbing that Judge Aileen Cannon…is still a judge. That conversation doesn’t come up enough.

“People may be persuaded that a stable world population is in their rational self-interest,” writes Jennifer Sciubba. “But it is an altogether different proposition for people to decide that it is in their rational self-interest to produce children themselves.” READ: belib.org/depopulation...

Agreed 100%.

Good article by Julia, but I would add, don’t just let us be, HELP. Wear a mask in places where high risk people have to be, so you aren’t *contributing* to their risk. This is ground zero of a you’re either helping or hurting situation.

I got an e-bike in October after not being on a bicycle in almost 20 years, and not on anything with two wheels since crashing my motorcycle a few years ago. Transit where I live is unreliable Put 650km on the e-bike since & went from several ride share trips a week to 2-3/month.

Hard to pick one, bikes bring so much freedom and happiness, from taking the kid to school to fun rides, to epic mtb rides! Looking forward to many more to come in 2026 🚵‍♂️🚲

Running errands in town with this lil dummy. I live near n a rural area about 10 miles from town. Rowdy the Cargo Bike Dog is a great copilot.

I didn’t even catch that but this person’s right! This is for a - if they’re paying the full $30-per-sear cost - $84,000 per annum contract. Microsoft made $27bn in profits in its last quarterly earnings. These are piss poor numbers! They’re desperate! bsky.app/profile/regu...

If Marjorie Taylor Greene *really* cared about the Epstein victims, she would read the names of the perpetrators on the House floor (where she would have immunity) before she leaves office.

My beautiful friend, a nurse, died at 31 last night. Her cancer treatment was delayed because a visitor did not wear a mask and she became terribly ill for weeks with the flu or COVID and following infections. If you're wearing a mask, thank you.

Texas widow receives immigration approval letter months after husband's death in ICE shooting The approval letter would've allowed Miguel Garcia to move forward with obtaining a visa or green card

If you asked the average Torontonian if the subway system was more "wide" or "tall", I bet 9/10 would say "wide". That's a graphic design problem. The TTC map is typically depicted "squished" to fit above subway doors. In reality, the system covers more ground north-south than east-west.

Florida's supreme court UPHELD law that enables juries to sentence someone to death nonunanimously. The pro-life state my ass.

Death cult

With God as my witness...

First real snowfall this season. The U, without fail, sends out its snow and ice warning, telling us “never run on icy ground” and “walk like a penguin.” There hasn’t been a single syllable about Covid, vaccines or masks for at least 3 years, but don’t slip out there! #liability

The Trump administration inherited an economy that the Economist called "the envy of the world" in a cover story a week before the election and easily could've coasted on that success (again) but instead they set it on fire.

Construction, developers & infrastructure unions & corps own this province, tks to Pr Ford willing to share our public monies w/ his wealthy, male-dominated donors. Women, children, seniors, racialized communities, youth being trafficked be damned. Never mind www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

This young man has it exactly right.

It never stopped being February 2022 for these guys and they are on a desperate quest to recapture that energy.

No single person, especially someone with zero expertise, should be able to just change the CDC website on a whim. The fact that federal health and science pages are no longer trustable is a catastrophe for public health and democracy.
