(1/2) The #VenezuelaInvasion is an apt ex. that the colonial notion of history "moving forward" is a fallacy. Many in the Global South have been fighting for independence from US controls, supremacy, and regimes since at least the 1970s (if not decades earlier). www.npr.org/2026/01/02/n...

If you can help Misk ❤️ (updated amount)

I sound like a conspiracy theorist but follow the resources. This time it’s the rare earth minerals. They’re necessary for batteries, electric vehicles, military technologies. The US is competing with China for dominance over these resources.

The government that arrests people for holding signs supporting Palestine Action say what now?

shameful day to be canadian

‘Because Trump isn’t just a rogue, out-of-control president, America is a rogue state. And the longer we fail to acknowledge that, the more danger we are in.’

words from lexi alexander, who had been suspended from this platform for being palestinian

It's a big day for those fluent in the good grammar of civility looking to deploy decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Anyway it’s stupid as fuck for democrats to “he may have been a bad guy, but…” when it comes to black bagging people

We live in a rich country with fertile land, a moderate climate, a location that shields us from the madness of the powerful and a literate imaginative people with a strong culture and sense of community. The pessimism reflects failed expectations - why isn’t this the best place on earth to live?

Who could have predicted this outcome? bsky.app/profile/caiu...

Chavez in 2009, while being labelled as paranoid, outlines exactly what is happening today.

What just happened ... Comedy: Jamie Kaler

These are the real victims of Trump's unending crimes, as always its everyday people.

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

Democrats clearly want a role in the regime much more than they want the regime to end.

These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver. This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.

Goodnight from Chas Mailer, worried he will never be able to sleep again after glimpsing Wishbloods playing football with a sheep skull. Goodnight from High Barley, where the full moon is silvering the fields and slipping along on lace-frosted lanes. Goodnight from Hookland.

fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US

It suits today the weak and base, Whose minds are fixed on pelf and place, To cringe before the rich man's frown, And haul the sacred emblem down.

So Trump is holding Maduro in a New York City Federal prison instead of loyal Florida: why? 1) Attempt to provoke civil unrest 2) Attempt to provoke attack or bombing of NYC 3) Attempt to justify a pre-planned attack on NYC THIS MAN IS INSANE. STOP HIM.

The Palestinian genocide is the whole ball game. It's been the useful catalyst & pretext for govts across the West to quell all manner of dissent at home, & rewrite the laws of war abroad. Conveniently, it's also coincided with neoliberalism's transition into feudalism, so a total win-win there.

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated. According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

So I’m calling it, they’re going to create death camps in Venezuela.

I feel sick.

the list of countries in latin america the US has overthrown without asking anyone else includes most of the countries in latin america how many americans even know about brazil or uruguay or ecuador, not that they care about anyone or anything

okay i am sorry to be that bitch but the one word you can't use to describe this is "unprecedented."

This is the core of it

Jesus Christ

Hands of Venezuela

the united states is the most evil regime in human history. its body count and mass destruction will surpass every other state.

what moral authority?

In an 1829 letter, Simon Bolívar (VZ’ George Washington) wrote: “The United States appear to be destined by Providence to plague America with misery in the name of liberty.”

“It’s bad luck Ghorman. We need what's in the ground, and when we're done, there won't be much left to call home."

I absolutely do judge you if you're still on Twitter

When time will come, the EU will "closely monitor" the invasion of Taiwan. And then the seizure of Greenland. And then...

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

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

yall wanna still talk about how the dems would never support this?

Reminder that George W Bush had the elected president of Haiti kidnapped and flung him into Central Africa.

Prescient thread

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.

Here’s what will happen: our leaders will issue mealy-mouthed equivocations, they and our media outlets will reach a consensus on the party line and after this drops out of the headlines, they will all go back to screaming hate at protestors in unison. We’ve had 25 years of this, it is not new.
