Welp! "Venezuelan authorities launched a broad crackdown on dissent as the country’s new leader consolidated power, undermining early hopes that the US capture of Maduro could allow for democratic reforms." www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

The number of ways this is unconstitutional lunacy is…a lot

Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”

Sickening — the White House has put up a site about 1/6 painting himself as a hero and Pelosi, The Capitol Police, and Mike Pence as the villains. An attempt to rewrite history before our eyes. www.whitehouse.gov/j6/

Joint statement by France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, United Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Denmark on Greenland: "Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland."

Feeling guilty about blocking people on social media is like feeling guilty about using the MUTE button on the TV.

Copy Editing Matters, from HHS's release on the new childhood vaccine schedule: All the diseases will still be available to anyone who wants them

My computer should know all the same emojis as my phone!!! They grew up in the same house!!!

Pulled my back getting a box out of the back of my car. An empty box. In my early 20's.

It’s official: RFK Jr has officially reduced recommended childhood vaccines from 17 to 11, removing universal vaccine recommendations for RSV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, dengue and two types of bacterial meningitis. This reckless contravention of science is going to kill people.

Here are the child vaccine recommendations as of November 2024. Keep them with you, advocate for your kids, get the vaccines they need to stay healthy and promote immunity for the whole community. #Health #CDC #vax

Here's the adult vaccination recommendations as of Nov 2024. Why did I save these? Because I knew someone was going to try to stomp on this, and not today, Satan. Not today. #CDC #vax #vaccines #getvaxxed

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Nicolás Maduro Charged With Felony Oil Possession

Apparently it's against the UMCJ to read the UMCJ out loud while on camera. Weird.

THIS JUST IN: White House closes group that funded pre-school education and animated music videos which reminded Americans how Congress and laws are supposed to work. IN OTHER NEWS: The Bill from Schoolhouse Rock just started a GoFundMe to cover living expenses.

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been dissolved, ending its 58 years as the primary funder for PBS, NPR and local TV and radio stations

Really, a remarkable statement from Colombia’s President.

I shouldn’t let this comedian secret out, but the public deserves to know the truth. (Video from Helium in Portland by Alex Castille!)

Are you fucking kidding me. In 2026, I will not be suffering a SINGLE FOOL who tries to say this administration’s attack on science and public health has some good will under the hood. This is directly meant to dismantle vaccination as an intervention.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), run by Oz and his boss, RFK Jr., will no longer require physicians to report vaccination rates. Instead, they plan to start having doctors report if they’ve discussed “alternative” vaccine schedules.

Dear SCOTUS When this blows up in your face, I hope you rethink the term immunity.

So it's appropriate to arrest a world leader if you consider them criminal? You can just go get them? Just asking questions here.

How do we have to wait three years between seasons of Netflix shows but they can just drop a straight coup d’etat with barely a teaser trailer.

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

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.”

Expect to see a lot of this classic Onion headline, from 23 years ago, over the coming weeks.

Boy, does this headline miss the mark. The shock isn't supply disruption.

So the the FIFA Peace Prize truly was meaningless after all?
