32 Cuban military & police officers were killed in Venezuela in the Trump USA attack, the Cuban government has confirmed. 2 days of mourning has been announced. www.cbc.ca/news/world/v...

really tired of seeing claims that our illegal kidnapping of the Venezuelan president is to "distract" us from the Epstein files. Trump and the men around him have wanted this for a long time. this is a bad thing in its own right, not some attempt to hide from accountability

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize. “If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Will we see posters with the names and faces of the Venezuelan civilians killed in the US attack?

An Israeli drone strike hit a vehicle on Sunday, on the Safad al-Batikh–al-Jumayjimah road near Tebnine in southern Lebanon, killing two civilians, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health. One of the dead was a paramedic, Ali Rizq from Houla.

The Israeli military continues to demolish structures in northern Gaza while also blocking the entry of aid.

⭕️ Secretary of State Rubio: US Will Coerce Venezuela W/ Oil Blockade, Not Govern It Sec. of State Marco Rubio said the US will not formally “run” Venezuela but will use a military “quarantine” on oil exports to force political & economic concessions. Speaking on ABC News, Rubio said the blockade...

Venezuela has nothing to do w/ OxyContin, the drug that Andrew Witkoff reportedly overdosed on and died from in 2011. OxyContin was created, marketed, and aggressively pushed by Purdue Pharma, owned by the Sackler family. In the United States, over 500,000 people have died from opioid overdoses...

"I took the new Betteridge Licensed Practitioner exam. Was it worth it?"

@darrenpjones.bsky.social - this is lazy and cowardly.

With this regime anything is possible…

Don't let new developments in American aggression around the world take focus away from other places like Palestine. Instead, always remember that all of these conflicts are connected, and we need to end all of this imperialism or it will happen again People are still starving and shivering in Gaza

FFS! www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Do The People still believe that the Military will put their oath to the Consitution before their subservience to Trump? Really? The evidence seems to be stacking up differently.

Fact check please @ianbetteridge.com

Well put.

It's this but then the exterminator sends you text messages asking for more money every 3 hours for the rest of your life

Colombian President Petro commenting on the US; “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein's list from coming out, they send warships to kill fishermen & threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil."

I think Prof Wills hates 3-6 year olds. Here he is implying that unicorns don't exist. What does he have against 3-6 year olds? 🤭

Wait. Maduro is in the USA without a visa. I thought Trump was against that kind of thing. #trump

We’ve had the barristers and silks. The other day it was “business leaders”. Today it’s “sporting greats” who have signed an “open letter calling for a RC into antisemitism, radicalisation and the Bondi massacre”. Who will be the next lot? Have we heard from the doctors yet? Surely…

Trump did it again. This is his 2nd post pushing a conspiracy that Governor Tim Walz had Melissa Hortman murdered in her own home. Absolutely disgusting.

BREAKING: At least 40 people were killed in Saturday’s attack on Venezuela, including military personnel and civilians, according to a senior Venezuelan official. - NYT

Now Albo's in trouble for the US invasion/intervention of Venezuela... do people who think in such a knee-jerk manner have even a passing whiff of world history?

🔴 2 Palestinians were killed & several others wounded on Jan. 2 in separate Israeli attacks in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza Strip, according to Ultra Palestine. The incidents occurred as Israeli forces continued their ongoing violations of the ceasefire, including gunfire, shelling & the destruction...

In Gaza, another Palestinian child has died of exposure due to cold, wet weather and a lack of proper shelter. Malak Rami Ghneim was just a few weeks old, one of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians forced to shelter in flimsy tents offering little to no protection from the elements.

Incredible how quickly Trump's insane criminality, now playing out in Venezuela, is transformed by 'serious people' into an 'oh well', like it's justifiable to invade other countries and kidnap their leaders. If our govt offers anything but outright condemnation, we have lost the plot.

There's your Nobel Peace Prize winner, btw. Hats off to everyone involved. Great job.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

'...You often find out at trial that people dispute things, that you never thought would be disputed during the investigation...' I hear you #JackSmith When defendants have their backs up against the proverbial wall, they might dispute anything & of course, lie

It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.

The Australian federal government has just announced it will be adopting the IHRA as official state policy & implementing it across communities & all government institutions.

Don't be a fool like me and think the Weiss is Barri.
