THIS IS HOW WE DO IT! Protest in NYC: "hands off Venezuela." NYC streets are loud and clear. No coups. No sanctions. No wars sold as "freedom." This is people power rejecting empire, greed, and oil-first politics. Sovereignty isn't negotiable. Resistance is alive!

Rep. @sethmoulton.bsky.social : "Is anyone going to just stop for a second and be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing? We've got a lot of problems in America today, and invading, occupying, running Venezuela does not solve any of them."

@maddow.bsky.social: “There are very few Americans right now who have any idea why the United States did this. If this was about drug trafficking then why did President Trump just pardon the former President of Honduras who was convicted of sending hundreds of tons of drugs into the US?”

“Secretaries Rubio and Hegseth looked every senator in the eye a few weeks ago and said this wasn’t about regime change. I didn’t trust them then and we see now that they blatantly lied to Congress.” — NJ Sen. Andy Kim, a former national security adviser, on the illegally of Trump’s unauthorized war

😕

Fact !

We Europeans and also the Canadians must now suddenly realise that we are being threatened on two fronts by imperialist powers. Trump has murdered the Western alliance, as we knew it, with today's aggression against Venezuela. 🤔

"The people united will never be defeated." Drawing the line in the sand: Baltimore residents are in the streets refusing an illegal war, a kidnapped head of state, and a president who treats violence as a profit strategy. No coups. No oil wars. No silence.

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country? There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

The MAGA regime was ordered to explain to Congress today why they illegally made redactions in the Epstein Files, just in case you needed more context as to why they are bombing another country and murdering their citizens.

President Zelensky reacts to Maduro’s capture, suggesting Putin should be next: If it is possible to deal with dictators like that, just like that, then the United States of America knows what to do next.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

The US produces >13 mn barrels of oil per day. Venezuela produces <1 million bpd There's a global oil glut i.e. lower prices. That's bad for US producers, who need higher prices to break even. Hard to imagine they're eager to make big new investments in an unstable place w/ decrepit infrastructure

Meanwhile, back at the American corral, we have a - money laundering, pedophile, felon, wannabe dictator in charge.🤬🥸🐾

The VENEZUELAN PEOPLE should ‘run Venezuela’: not Trump, not Maduro’s cronies Delcy and Diasdado. We should be backing the legitimate democratic leaders, Maria Corina Machado and Edmundo Gonzalez. ¡Decimos NO a dictadores ni de Mar-a-Lago ni de Miraflores! rollcall.com/2026/01/03/t...

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Unfortunately, this.

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world. This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

Will any of the press corp ask him about the EPSTEIN FILES?

Errrrrrrr.... could we get some more detail on that? We know it'll take some time to get things back into order, but we *do* have an elected president, Eduardo González so the sooner he's sworn in, the better.

Are you truly prepared to have Americans die in a war with Venezuela, so a senile, deranged criminal can deflect from the Epstein Files? @housegop.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senategop.govpeeps.us @housedemocrats.bsky.social

"If there is an overriding lesson of American foreign affairs in the past century, however, it is that attempting to oust even the most deplorable regime can make matters worse" NYT's editorial on Trump's attack on Venezuela www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/o...

When America abdicates its role as a defender of freedom and becomes the oppressor, it emboldens dictators everywhere. We are about to learn some hard lessons. One being how instrumental we used to be at preventing the world from descending into madness.

WHILE EVERYONE IS NOW FOCUSING ON THE VENEZUELA DIVERSION, PLEASE DO NOT FORGET THAT JANUARY 6TH, THE ANNIVERSARY OF THIS PRESIDENTS ORGANIZED ATTACK ON WASHINGTON DC, IS ONLY THREE DAYS AWAY!!!

As usual, Robert Reich has upbeat things to say: Ten things you can do to beat Trump this year www.rawstory.com/donald-trump...

. One thing hasn't changed in the New Year . . . ... the victims, America and the whole world want the truth ! Release the Epstein Files - completely !! 💠 👊 💠

Phang: If Republican senators and congressmen have an issue with their cell records being obtained by Jack Smith, they should take it up with Trump. Because Trump ordered his co-conspirators, and Trump himself made phone calls to make sure that those election results were not certified…

Don’t let this go unnoticed just because it’s the holidays!

Happy New Year! 🎉✨🌟

A group of Peruvian shamans gathered on a beach in southern Lima to perform their annual New Year ritual, delivering predictions for 2026 that included the fall of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and a serious illness for US President Donald Trump

Thousands of newly obtained documents show that Clearview AI’s founders always intended to target immigrants and the political left. Now their digital dragnet is in the hands of the Trump administration.

The monks walking for peace is bigger than people think. They normally make this walk in other countries. This year, they decided to walk from Texas to DC- through areas historically relevant in the civil rights movement. They are essentially walking the 1961 Freedom Riders route. 🫶🕊️

You’ve got a few days left to get your annual National Parks pass without Trump’s face on it.

Sarah Cooper is back. 👏

With all this talk of how to end Russias war against Ukraine, and a cease fire, keep this in mind: If Ukraine ceases firing, Ukraine will cease to exist. If Russia ceases firing. the war will cease to exist. Pretty clear

Correct!

Donald Trump is a convicted criminal. He is objectively pro-crime. The Trump administration is a criminal organization. He is turning the U.S. into a mafia state.

Judges who ruled against Trump say harassment and threats have changed their lives - NBC News Never before have we had a problem president with active violent thugs as his followers. apple.news/APtaG0MQuQpy...
