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."

surely it has nothing to do with good leftist analysis, like matty's support for the invasion of iraq

I was wondering how this might all turn out to have been my fault

[Trump begins openly assassinating political opponents] SCHUMER: Once again Trump is trying to distract the American people from the rising price of eggs

In photos shared by the Interior Ministry, people take to the streets to reject what authorities describe as imperialist military aggression and to reaffirm that the president of Venezuela is Nicolás Maduro Moros.

worth noting that this neighborhood has a set up a coordinated response to ice/fascism on the ground in minneapolis. they are defending their neighborhoods and standing up for black and brown neighbors down the street and abroad. south minneapolis stands up. proud and tall.

🟡 NEW: 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. www.semafor.com/article/01/0...

"We urge all parties to support dialogue and diplomacy"? What kind of nonsense statement is this? The US just bombed them with no cause, kidnapped their president and his wife, and declared that they would be running the country in order to secure its oil for themselves.

Trump's hatred of the institutions of liberal internationalism never made him an isolationist. He's always been an imperialist. He is someone who sees the hypocrisy of liberal internationalism and addresses it by abandoning any semblance of liberalism, instead of making it real.

Folks bypass things like the fact that NYPD activated drones and 30 cop cars for a demonstration of 1000 people in freezing weather today. The levels of surveillance and potential repression are taken as regular order in this country.

Susie Wiles is another lying sack of shit what else is new

Chilly night in Chicago, but protesters have shown up to confront Trump’s illegal war.

🇫🇷 Paris | Protesters burned and tore U.S. flags as demonstrations spread through the streets, condemning U.S. aggression against Venezuela and the kidnapping of its president. Anger grows over escalating violations of international law.

“Hours after the U.S. invaded Venezuela to seize President Nicolás Maduro, President Trump sent a warning to the governments of Mexico, Cuba and Colombia that their countries could be next.”

Keir Starmer explicitly backs Trump's attack on Venezuela. Says he has "long supported" getting rid of Maduro, who is an "illegitimate President" and "we shed no tears about the end of his regime".

The Chicago protest against the U.S. attack on Venezuela has stepped off to march through the downtown area. Hundreds have joined the march.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

A mindnumbing case study over the last 12 hours in how the pre-Trump establishment created Trump and enables Trump. Most leading Dems, Canada, UK, EU, monsters who were already hypocrites between Gaza and Ukraine, take their masks off supporting Trump in Venezuela to varying degrees

The reason you feel so overwhelmed and hopeless is exactly this; part of you realizes that absolutely everything needs to be torn down to the studs and rebuilt from scratch. Which is, you know, daunting. But here we are.

The amount of after-the-fact consent manufacturing, shameless regime stenography, and gutless both-sidesing on every single media outlet right now is genuinely worse than 2001-2002. Absolutely pathetic. We have no journalists. We have no opposition party.

12+ hours later we finally get an estimate of how many Venezuelans were killed

“He was a dictator” fat nazis in plate carriers abduct your neighbors from the parking lot of target and send them to gulags.

Days after his third dementia screening in six months the president of the United States, who is an open pedophile, abducts a foreign head of state

🇫🇷 Place de la République | Crowds gathered in central Paris as demonstrators protested U.S. military action in Venezuela, denouncing violations of international law and warning against escalation and regime-change wars.

I'm an editor for @leftvoice.bsky.social, a publication which has been covering Trump's escalating aggression against Venezuela for months. We're part of an international news network founded by anti-imperialist organizations in Latin America, and have a sister site in Venezuela.

Whenever I correctly point out that there is no opposition party in US politics, the usual suspects swarm to screech about Dems having no power. If these folks are correct (they are not), then they should BUILD POWER. They aren't doing that.

Left Voice member Tristan Taylor reports from Detroit where protesters turned out in freezing cold to oppose Trump’s attacks on Venezuela. We need to mobilize in direct solidarity with the working class and oppressed on Venezuela who have nothing to gain from U.S. intervention!

My full statement on Trump’s unconstitutional military operations in Venezuela:

"Collectivism" means people having any obligation at all to other people, like "thou shalt not kill" for example

Trump says U.S. will "run" Venezuela. Protests break out in over 75 cities across the USA. Video below from NYC. 🎥 @recluseastrid.bsky.social

Starmer and Farage both drape themselves in flags but once again it's really clear where their loyalty really is. It's Trump first. They will always be on the side of the super rich and powerful - no matter how heinous the crime. This is not patriotism. It's subservience.

Dems were in power 12 of the last 20 years and instead of prosecuting war criminals, happily did war crimes of their own. It would be easier to prosecute Biden for his war crimes if GW had been 20 years earlier.

Impeach, convict, remove.

it is incredible that the entire high level legal apparatus of the United States is "anything that helps people is impossible, anything that kills people is permitted"

Something something sphere of influence, something America’s backyard, something BRICS expansion

An 80 year old pervert going on TV to slur monotonously about the illegal invasion he just did. The logical endpoint of our political development over the last 50 years

🚨 HAPPENING NOW: Residents of Baltimore & local organizers gather in front of City Hall to protest the Trump regime's lawless military invasion of Venezuela & kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro & his wife Cilia Flores this morning. I'm on the ground for @therealnews.com

BREAKING: Venezuela's vice president demands the U.S. free Maduro and calls him the country's rightful leader during speech.

From Palestine to Venezuela: We call for unity in the struggle for self-determination and for collective solidarity against the genocidal US-Israel axis. Read our full statement: loom.ly/0PcQonE

The kidnapping of Maduro inaugurates a highly dangerous era of U.S. empire that for perhaps the first time in an era of mass media is not pretending to be anything other than a violent, extractive enterprise of domination.

Dear friend, Mr. Trump's coronation last week was a disgrace. As I bowed in protest, I thought to myself "What has become of our nation" Now it's all up to us. Can you spare $5, $10, or even $20 so I can attend the royal feast to continue the fight?

Perhaps now people will stop wishcasting about the US military refusing illegal orders. That's not a thing that happens. The 100% compliance rate with using civilian boats for target practice was a bit of a tell.

this is true and I am sorry about your mentions.

Gov. Polis, who Trump said days ago is a "scumbag" who should "rot in hell," responds with glee to Trump's illegal strike on Venezuela:

OK we can see the way this is going. Sanchez is out in the political wilderness again in his wilingness to criticise Trump. Germany's chancellor apparently watched that press conference and decided it's "complex and requires careful consideration". They're all falling into line.

Democrat leaders on this platform want you to believe they are the party of resistance while supporting genocide, rubber stamping Trump's nominees, folding on trans rights, using far-right rhetoric about migrants, working with mass surveillance companies, getting mad they weren't in on a coup.

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather. “No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!” “No boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”

NO WAR. FULL STOP. Trump has already launched an unconstitutional war for oil. We’re organizing now. Join us TODAY for a protest sign–making party at campaign HQ as we prepare for the larger Emergency Day of Action downtown opposing war on Venezuela. 🕝 2:30–3:30 PM 📍 7016 N Clark St, Rogers Park

I am going to keep beating this dead horse because guess who is showing up at the toxic lefty anti-war demonstrations out here in the midwest? Indivisible 👍
