The comments on this Reddit post are redeeming. Suggest reading them if anyone is struggling with this too. How many women are being bullied daily for masking & taking Covid precautions?

BREAKING: Georgia Reports Surge in Hospitalizations and Deaths Linked to Aggressive Flu Strain

They’re gonna have me here trying to sound like autotuned T-Pain wearing a mask and glasses? 🤓

I mean, he doesn't like China, we all know that. The US doesn't have "differences" with Venezuela; Trump is thirsty for the oil, and there’s no resolving differences with Trump. The fool is psychotic.

After this, no one should doubt Trump’s intention to invade Greenland. The EU needs to step up fast.

Protest at White House ✊ ✊🏽 ✊🏻 ✊🏾 ✊🏿

Manhattan. A significant cohort of cops are trailing anti war protesters. Upwards of 30 police vehicles are visible following the marchers. Police will always have other vehicles in the area too. (What I saw and counted.) As well as aerial assets, helicopters and, often, drones live-streaming to HQ.

Denver:

And there ya have it… Officials from top Wall Street firms will be traveling to Venezuela to investigate “investment prospects” of the country. “The trip will feature about 20 officials from the finance, energy and defense sectors.”

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

Mafioso AF.

Trump is framing this as a law enforcement operation so he doesn’t need congressional authorization. He’s not defending our country. He’s defending his grip on power with endless wars. “American dominance in the Western Hemisphere will never be questioned again.”

Trump... falling asleep... **during** the #Venezuela briefing... WHILE STANDING UP... 😯

Trump being cartoonishly overt about his ambitions to “run” Venezuela and get its oil doesn’t make him any less dangerous.

I saw someone making the point that ICE and Border Patrol are likely to step up the hunting of Venezuelans here on temporary statuses etc... saying that their cases for seeking asylum are now moot.

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.

America....ENOUGH... CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES PLEASE 202 224-3121 Now threatening Mexico

Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies. Full statement below:

😒

Maduro was a brutal ruler, it’s true. So is Putin—who Trump supports. So was Bolsonaro, who Trump supports. So was the drug-trafficking former head of Honduras, who Trump just pardoned. So is Nayib Bukele in El Salvador. MBS. Bibi. Stop pretending Trump cares about illegitimacy or brutality.

Today is the precise 36th anniversary of the last time the United States used force to remove a Latin American head of state, in case you’re keeping score.

Caracas and the surrounding area are the size of Philadelphia. We just took out a major city and international hub on a whim. Those poor people

Amid everything with Venezuela & Maduro and the Trump Regime's various justifications for its extrajudicial & anti-constitutional actions, a quick reminder that - just one month ago - Trump PARDONED former Honduras President Juan Orlando Hernández for his... wait for it... cocaine trafficking.

You want Black and Brown immigrants to go back to where they come and then you want to bomb them once they do. You know what that's called? Genocide.

And I use the word genocide a lot because that is what's going on. It is very clear from Project 2025 that they want anyone who is not a white, abled, cishet person to be in prison, dead, or enslaved. This is what this is. And I refuse to sugarcoat it.

Also note the sinister ableist framing here - 56% of kids who died had an underlying condition. Why highlight it that way? Do they matter less?

CDC data show ~11% of U.S. pediatric flu deaths in 2024–25 occurred despite full vaccination. This shows vaccines certainly help, but without clean air, masking and sick-leave policies etc, some kids are still left vulnerable. Pediatric flu deaths are a policy choice www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes...

The U.S. just kidnapped a foreign leader and his wife. Venezuela doesn’t produce Fentanyl, but they do have the world’s largest oil reserves. This is the war the $23 million Big Oil gave to Trump bought.

Venezuela is the testing-ground. If he can do it there with impunity, under a flimsy cover of "drug wars", he'll walk into Greenland claiming "national security needs" & meet zero resistance from NATO or the UN. Then it's Canada's turn. And not a finger outside Canada will be lifted to stop him.

The Venezuelan leader and his wife were captured by elite U.S. special forces troops and flown out of the country following larges-scale strikes on the Latin American nation.

@davidakaye.bsky.social interesting developments on the personal jurisdiction front.

he announced that he black bagged the sitting president of a foreign country on the same website where he posted an AI generated image of jb pritzker holding a mcdouble

Straight up capturing a foreign president is really wild. Saying “I did it” with your whole chest is REALLY wild.

I am sick today. This mf went to Venezuela after being told his strikes on boats are a breach of international law, having no evidence of drugs being shipped to the U.S., he decides to do this shit! But he knows there are no drugs… it's deception for the ulterior motives of U.S. control of the oil.

Soto said: "Trump's veto appears to be revenge for the Miccosukee Tribe's valid opposition to the atrocious 'Alligator Alcatraz.' It's sad, petty, and a violation of tribal sovereignty." This and the veto of the Colorado water pipeline are just retaliation. #Pinks www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-i...

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela. This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources. It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk, and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty & international law.
