Here’s a thread on the absolute beating the Russian oil sector has received from Ukrainian long-range drones. The difference in Venezuela is that insurgents can use extremely cheap short range (10-50 kilometers) fiber optic guided drones to inflict comparable damage.💥🔥

Term limits allow lobbyists to run the show even more than they do now. My answer is to end the influence of lobbying by ending the private funding of campaigns. Just go all the way. These are public offices. They should not and cannot continue to be privately owned.

Past time we have a discussion on how much of a threat to national security these same rich men are. They add nothing, while actively ruining lives, killing indiscriminately, and running up the national debt on lies and broken promises to their advantage.

Take 'em all down like Target. No one has any money to spend anyway, may as well not spend it.

We should bring back the sweating sickness for a second run at a mad king. Just him tho.

He catches the sweat and doesn’t survive, we finally figure out what the fuck it actually was, he advances the human race for the first time in his entire miserable life I like it

If you're not following Sanho, now is a good time to start. I don't generally believe in think tanks--the Elf on the Shelf of politics--but Sanho knows what he's talking about

I mean, speed cameras will issue you a ticket every time you roar past, red light cams will catch you every damn time you can’t be bothered to stop, why shouldn’t someone who keeps committing daily impeachable offenses have them stacking up??

Well… most the time, the people saying the adult position is pro-war are old themselves, not going to have to fight, not subject to selective service, not desperate for money for college or to get out of a dying Rust Belt village. With investments that will prosper. They watch it on TV.

It’s THIS easy!!! 5calls.org

You’re going to see a lot of this #Venezuala

I don't think I can say anything that adds even the tiniest amount of value to the discussion about Venezuela, aside from "call your representatives," but does anyone have leads on aid organizations that are mobilizing to address harms to civilians & have the experience to be effective?

i feel like i see a lot of "mysterious new account makes big bet on insider information" news stories and not enough people-being-arrested-for-that news stories

Holding off is normal. Telling the press before Congress is not.

Fascinating 1. Admin may not have informed Congress but has been talking regime change w US oil industry 2. Oil at $60, US firms not excited about major capex to get VZ heavy sour crude 3. Sounds like WH wants to prod oil firms to make their vision happen, more than WH doing US oil's bidding

Made my calls, made my cat happy, sorted cat food so cats and other human can be happy, can fix nothing, so I have two containers of blueberries, flour, and eggs, there will be muffins and ready to use egg squares for this week. can’t fix much, can make my habitat run a bit better.

I was educated by Quakers. There's something clarifying about learning the value of raising your voice against monstrous acts of inhumanity from a tradition that holds silence sacred — sometimes the act of saying no, not in my name has worth independent of whether anyone in power listens.

The Mexican president is: - a woman - a Jew - a climate scientist A perfect storm for someone Trump would absolutely fucking love to abduct from power and throw in jail.

the administration wants to frame this (bizarrely) as law enforcement. but if law enforcement conducted a raid for a suspect and killed 40 people, including an unknown number of unarmed civilians, it would be treated as a clear disaster like Waco.

Reminder for everyone operating at situationally-diminished capacity.

Ugh. Latest thing people doing on reels is generating fake film history. Pictured: AI generated film test of Ava Gardener which is definitely not her. But also the footage shows rings going missing from shot to shot, nail Polish changing. You can look up the actual screen tests elsewhere.

And Biden has also been the biggest Israel dick rider for like 40 years. "There is no apology to be made. It is the best $3 billion investment we make. Were there not an Israel, the USA would have to invent an Israel to protect her interest in the region." -Joe Biden in the Senate in 1986

searching twitter while doing a warcrime is the stupidest osint ever. thank you for letting everyone know you can now manipulate the war room via hashtag

A father’s penis is not magical. It neither gives the father the right to authority and power, like patriarchy claims, nor does it cure homosexual children of their homosexuality. ^ Things you have to write when you write about evangelicals.

Is one of them a cartoon mammal because I'm having the same thought.

The tomorrow in this post was this morning. PLEASE help? linktr.ee/wylder

im not gonna tell my reps that i think bombing sovereign countries is bad they should be telling us they think that to try and keep us from throwing them into raw sewage

The “Venezuela distracts from Epstein” line is ridiculous because 1) many awful things happen at once 2) Same Iran-Contra crowd pushing Venezuela invasion are or were involved with Epstein/Maxwell 3) Epstein associates (for ex, Dershowitz) want Iran invasion and see Venezuela as a test run for Iran

Also for anyone suggesting Canada is limited in what it can say because of its proximity to and dependence on the US, that didn’t stop Mexico.

Amazing to learn which senators apparently think the senate should not exist.

Happening now: several hundred people are pouring into Chicago's downtown Federal Plaza. It's 25 degrees outside. Organizers are leading the crowd in a chant of, "no boots on the ground, no bombs in the air!" Two protesters hold a large banner reading, "no war for Venezuela oil."

Fewer supposedly progressive Americans doing thought experiments about what country America is going to start a war with next like it's a game of Risk or Sportsball and not actual places with actual people would probably help the overall timeline a bit, though. There's a global userbase here, folks.

Yep. And I've seen at least one Shocked Pikachu who was really happy about the invasion right up until they were like, "Wait but we have a President we elected! Whaddya mean the US is gonna run things?" And I was nice and just kinda apologized but then I dug through some past posts and, yeah.

I saw a post where someone said the world is sick of hearing 350 million Americans say they're helpless and nothing is their fault. It made me sad. It’s painful. It’s true.

Repping fellow sparkly maven @weltschmerz.bsky.social tonight. Check out her shop, fam.

Toxic Banana Republic, second verse, worse than the first. (At least the fruit wasn’t a literal poison for every living entity on this planet.)

Anyway. Nothing but complete eradication of all right-wing ideology everywhere will suffice, I think.

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

yeah this is (part of) why i don't bother with therapy rn.

It’s wild that the newly sworn in Democratic socialist running New York is doing more than all of the national level Democrats combined to try and stop Trump Trump’s fascist war in Venezuela. This is why the national level Democrats tried to smear him and wanted you to vote for a sexual abuser

JingleCat may never be a lap cat, but she is a champion snuggler, and I’m glad I have a chair we can share.

Look, I’m hosting the Hugos in LA next year, but we will film that shit. NOBODY should risk themselves. Our country is acting despicably in every regard.

I’m screaming, I know Trump answered the phone today when Zohran called and was like, “omg, hey habibi 😍.” Meanwhile Schumer and Jeffries are probably hiding in their “vote blue, no matter who”-themed bunkers.

If the BBC was reporting about any small, impoverished oil-cursed nation in the world:

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

That’s Somali with a hard R.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy
