The War Crimes Act prohibits pillaging resources. Ask the fucking follow up question.

nailed it.

The American government is run by Qanon. Any of those controlled opposition who downplayed Qanon and those who grifted off of their fake opposition to it, will one day be known to have contributed to the destruction of liberty. @jim-stewartson.bsky.social was right. People should have listened.

An intelligence report says Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has prepared a contingency plan to flee to Moscow if nationwide unrest escalates and security forces begin to defect or disobey orders.

talked to the owner of a denim company that produces jeans in the US. he said that he's seen declining sales abroad in EU and Canada. stores tell him that customers don't want to buy MiUSA products bc Trump makes dumb, pointless threats like "taking over Canada or Greenland"

marco rubio will never be president

North Korea says it has tested hypersonic missiles with leader Kim Jong-un in attendance. (Yonhap)

NBC News: “How soon will elections be held in Venezuela? Within 30 days?” Rubio: “Elections? I think it is premature at this point.” The US is going to be there for the long haul.

Ukrainian drones have hit the Energia factory in Lipetsk Oblast which makes batteries for Iskander missiles. #explodey

Can you occupy a country for a negative number of days?

Bullshit Roll the receipts

Great piece explaining the how the Maduro arrest violates international law. @Just_Security. www.justsecurity.org/127981/inter...

NEW Rabbit Hole story — “The case, which stood out previously for its cartoonish online context, now carries broader implications for how federal threat cases are prosecuted in the Fifth Circuit—and possibly beyond.” www.courtwatch.news/p/the-rabbit...

omg lil narco is way over his skis he wanted this but now it might eat him. he’ll never be president he sounds like he might know it youtu.be/Fbac7hvqLeY?...

See, it’s not hard to denounce this and toe it into the larger pattern of criminality.

So a lot of the charges against Maduro are either cocaine importation, which Trump pardoned Hernandez for, or owning machine guns, which is a constitutionally protected right in the US

“.. U.S. companies never owned oil or land in Venezuela .. and officials didn’t kick them out of the country. “.. ‘Trump’s claim that Venezuela has stolen oil and land from the U.S. is baseless,’ ..” @washingtonpost.com #OOTT 🇻🇪 www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

As the picture of what happened yesterday comes into focus, I think the proper analogy is a country bombing us, whisking Trump and Melania away for trial elsewhere, declaring that the Democrats have no hope of governing, and leaving Vance in charge as the guy they believe they can work with.

follow the money and influence flowing through Donny’s idiocracy this is, what’s the word, fucking obscene 🎩 @whodat35.bsky.social newstracs.com/devin-nunes-...

Ms. Machado had “gone out of her way to please [Trump], calling him a ‘champion of freedom,’ mimicking his talking points on election fraud in the United States and even dedicating her Peace Prize to him. “It was in vain.” @nytimes.com 🇻🇪 www.nytimes.com/2026/01/04/w...

Swalwell: Putin has an arrest warrant out for his conduct in Ukraine, and Donald Trump certainly is not going and arresting Vladimir Putin and invading that country and saying that we're going to run it without a plan.

Swalwell: He couldn't run a casino, and now he's going to run a country in South America while he fails to run a country in North America?

Again, this is #LittleNarco’s coup bsky.app/profile/trcf...

Quick update for US media: the story is not about Maduro or what’s going on in Venezuela. It’s about the massive rupture in US history where the country now stands for invading and occupying any country it likes. Trump in his press conference made it very clear this is a new age. Did you miss that?

Donald Trump is now reposting videos on Truth Social suggesting that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had Melissa Hortman assassinated. This is objectively evil, and calling it out should not be political.

Proud to present this pictorial thread of Jamelle Bouie insulting you #1: You're a dumbass

In 2026, we can’t take the easy path by giving in to despair. We have to keep doing something to be ready for the moment the right combination of events align and we can see a better future.

they built Polymarket around Donny's Regime 1 "chaos trades" and yes I will die on that hill

In Iran the Islamic Republic shut down the internet in Iran to silence the spread of information. There’s a reason: regime forces are now openly firing on protesters.

US military intervention in Venezuela has deepened the schisms that were already dividing the right — Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, Thomas Massie, MTG, etc. But since MAGA is built on domination and humiliation, they are unable to put their coalition back together again.

Trump just released a photo of Maduro blindfolded “on board the USS Iwo Jima.”

Upon closer inspection I was giving them too much credit by assuming it was pipe and drape. There’s no piping. They just tossed curtains haphazardly over that shit.

I am going to love it when I get to advise President Pritzker about how he can refuse to authorize national security briefings for any Republican Member of Congress and to tell them to cry to someone who cares to listen.

What a fukkk sick prez we have while war consigliere is watching false videos spread on TS and Twitter. Subhuman scum gleefully enjoying violence. This is MAGA.

and i should state that the Kremlin denied pulling diplomatic staff earlier this week when asked

Chairman JCOS: “Months of planning…” soooo not an imminent threat justifying self-defense
