The 15 richest people in America saw their collective wealth jump nearly $1 trillion during Trump's year back in office. Many of them were standing alongside Trump at his inauguration one year ago today. How are you doing?

In This Dystopia You Can't Vote Against Wars But You Can Gamble On When They'll Start www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/in-this-dy...

Trump stole $500 million in Venezuelan oil, sold it, and put the money in a private account in Qatar. If you can't see how immensely corrupt this mob boss is you have the IQ of a dead hamster.

Every western country on earth is currently both (A) hollering about the need to free people from authoritarian governments and (B) gradually making it illegal to criticize the state of Israel.

This is a heinous war crime and puts all civilian aircraft at risk

she didn’t say this at all, she answered my question about if she regrets past discrimination against trans people. not discriminating against trans people is “pedophilic trans grooming” to people like elon musk. absolute insanity

Fundraiser for Minneapolis ICE shooter that’s already raised $178,000 casually points out that the mayor is Jewish 😬

You Can't Cheer For Regime Change In Iran Without Also Cheering For The US Empire I don’t know what’s going to happen in Iran, but I hope the empire fails its regime change operation. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/you-cant-c...

Trumpers were sold the story that their guy would fight the deep state globalists to benefit ordinary Americans. Now he's advancing every CIA/neocon agenda known to man in the middle east and Latin America with the goal of global domination as life in the US gets worse and worse.

rightwingers always call women “too emotional” but renee good states she’s not mad in a calm voice while the agitated emotional ICE agent unloads his gun umprompted and calls her a “fucking bitch” after she’s dead

One of the core purposes of right-wing media is to rewrite your memory and reprogram your moral response to an event you saw with your own eyes. George Floyd died of a heart attack. Jan 6 was a peaceful picnic. This process has already begun

Masked government agents are killing people in the streets, abducting people from their homes in the middle of the night, and arresting those who speak out. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

All that right-wing talk since the 1990s about the danger of a violent and unaccountable federal government, whose agents would one day gun Americans down in the streets, I foolishly thought that was a warning, but it turns out it was more of a promise they were making

Keir Starmer’s Labour government is just a vassal of Washington, making the world more dangerous with every decision.

It’s a big club and you ain’t in it

Here is a recent video of ICE agents hitting someone with their car and laughing about it From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

MICHIGAN: Police arrest protestor of Trump’s attack on Venezuela while she’s live on air 🤔🇺🇸

Trump and Rubio killed the father of these three children, First Lieutenant Yunio Estévez. He was among the Cubans killed by Delta Force operators as they kidnapped Maduro.

The US Justice Dept. has quietly dropped its earlier claim that Venezuela’s “Cartel de los Soles” is a formal drug cartel led by President Nicolás Maduro, the revised indictment unsealed after Maduro’s capture shows, NYT reports. DOJ still accuses him of participating in drug trafficking, but...

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations tells the world why the U.S. has kidnapped the Venezuelan President: “You cannot continue to have the largest oil reserves in the world under the control of adversaries of the United States.”

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Cooper bringing up the ICC like they dont have warrants for netanyahu that she would refuse to execute

I asked the Foreign Secretary whether it would be legal if a foreign power accused the British Prime Minister of breaking its domestic laws, bombed the UK, killed dozens of British citizens and abducted the PM and his wife in the middle of the night. She refused to answer.

Big Oil spent nearly $100M to get Trump elected in 2024. Now Trump is returning the favor, giving them advance notice of his Venezuela attack and sending their stocks skyrocketing by promising them control of the country's oil reserves. This is what oligarchy looks like.

If I was a BBC TV reporter, I'd troll TF out of them and say "Nicolás Maduro has been kidnapped -- sorry, "siezed and/or captured" according to my editors -- by US terror--I mean troops" live on air faster than they could censor me.

BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped. The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

If you have to remind people “we are the good guys” that’s a pretty good sign you’ve stopped doing good guy stuff

another Washington puppet, they don't even disguise it anymore

second degree murder, and specifically depraved heart murder, wherein the accused doesn't actively plan to kill a specific person or people but acts with callous disregard for human life - like firing a gun into a crowd or driving drunk - should apply to decisions made by CEOs and heads of industry

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Listen to Venezuelans! No, not the Venezuelans in the streets demanding Maduro's return. No, not the polls saying most people in Venezuela oppose US regime change. Those are the wrong Venezuelans. I meant listen to the Venezuelan talking to Fox News from his mansion in Miami.

The US then shifted to an overt regime change approach, especially after a Presidential crisis in 2019, which again led to another failed coup attempt by the US, and the propping up of Juan Guaidó as the US's preferred leader of the country. All of this culminated in what we see today.

The Bank of England refused to release roughly 31 tonnes of Venezuelan gold for example A UN report in 2021 found that US sanctions had severely impacted government funding, led to excess deaths, and were designed to cripple the country and reverse Chavez policies that had cut out most US interests

When Maduro won a narrow victory in 2013, the Obama admin placed sanctions on the government. The Trump administration expanded these sanctions during his first term, effectively crippling oil, mining and financial sectors of the economy. This also led to Venezuelan assets being targeted.

While this coup ultimately failed, the US continued to work with the opposition in Venezuela to destabilize the country through economic and political disruption, weakening the state. The goal being to reorient the country back to the US sphere of influence, and away from sovereign development.

When Hugo Chavez was elected president of Venezuela in 1998, he opposed neoliberal reforms and instead expanded state control over the country's natural resources such as oil. In 2002, the US worked with the opposition to launch a coup and replace Chavez with a pro US leader. A regime change op.

It is important to understand that what happened in Venezuela did not happen in a vacuum US media has refused to cover the material and historical factors that led up to the US's special military operation, because if it did, public opinion would be even more negative towards its actions 🧵1/9

Broke: America is a violent, expansionist empire but we tell ourselves we're not Woke: Damn straight we're a violent, expansionist empire and we're not not going to hide it anymore

This is journalistic malpractice and an abdication of their responsibility. THEY COULD'VE PREVENTED AN ILLEGAL REGIME CHANGE AND CHOSE NOT TO. FUCK THE MEDIA.

The transnational shadow government of billionaire pedophile criminals and their lackeys can’t get enough OIL

The fact that I don't see an immediate move to impeach Trump or use the 25th amendment is terrifying. The lesson he'll learn is that he can get away with illegal war & regime change. So Greenland, Colombia, Mexico & Panama must prepare IMMEDIATELY. The 4th reich will come for you.

Exactly. Leftists screamed in 2003 that war with Iraq is stupid. Saddam didn't do 9/11. He didn't have WMDs. He was NO THREAT to us. We were called unamerican and told we hated the troops and loved Saddam. It took 20 years but everybody finally admitted we were right. Now we go through it all again.

Being a leftist means you're correct too quickly and hated for it.

Russia invades Ukraine claiming there's a NATO proxy force directly on its border = Crazy. Evil. Worse than Hitler. US invades Venezuela claiming China is making energy deals there thousands of miles from the US border = Fine. Normal. Monroe Doctrine. Just wish he'd asked Congress.
