This is not the first US imperial atrocity for oil —let’s not exceptionalize it— but wow is is it awful. And the violation of Venezuelans domestically in the name of a sovereign borders they actually dgaf about. As Aimee Cesaire put it— the price of imperialism is the empire’s own civilization.

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.

"A woman dressed as a pink Power Ranger hacked a dating site for far-right extremists. She deleted the entire site, but first she made users fall in love with AI bots she ran, thus obtaining information about them. Over 8,000 far-right profiles have now been mapped."

Trump on Democrats: "They should say 'great job.' They shouldn't say, 'Oh gee, maybe it's not constitutional.' You know, the same old stuff that we've been hearing for years and years and years."

we have not "apprehended" the president of venezuela. we have invaded a foreign country and kidnapped its leader. what the fuck are we doing here, i am going to lose my mind

I feel like Trump is jealous of Obama for taking out Bin Laden. He wants his own heavily publicized victory against a monstrous enemy of the people who killed huge numbers of U.S. citizens. More than oil or anything else he wants the optics of quickly and (for us) painlessly taking out an "enemy".

"But Wiles conceded that attacking targets on Venezuela’s mainland would force Trump to get congressional approval. 'If he were to authorize some activity on land, then it’s war, then [we’d need] Congress.'" - WH Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Nov 2, 2025 interview www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

Caracas: Military forces are randomly arresting civilians who are moving too close to key locations like the presidential palace or military installations.

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

you’re about to see just a deluge of bootlicking legacy media shit under the guise of “international law” and “US saves the day” and PLEASE don’t let them get away with it

Epstein. Venezuela. Oil. Epstein. Venezuela. Oil. Epstein. Venezuela. Oil. Epstein. Venezuela. Oil. Epstein. Venezuela. Oil. Epstein. Venezuela. Oil. Epstein. Venezuela. Oil. Epstein. Venezuela. Oil. Epstein. Venezuela. Oil. Epstein. Venezuela. Oil. Epstein. Venezuela. Oil. Epstein. Venezuela. Oil.

not a fan of living in a pariah nation tbh

9/11 was different because there was the shock of being attacked on our own soil, any reaction was easy to justify. But now? I don't know how they can sell this to anyone.

idk I don't think the generation that got shoved through the wood chipper over WMDs is gonna do it again. ...Which means servicepeople in their 20s have no memory of this.

Impeachment proceedings are mandatory. You either believe the presidency is governed by rules or you don’t.

We have to impeach him.

Maybe it’ll happen tomorrow

We must see the fall of the American empire every other option is too horrible to be allowed to exist Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

The entire state apparatus that allows a tyrant to start a war must be pushed into the dustbin of history Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Impeach, convict and remove. I don't know what Congress is there for otherwise.

In our name, with our money, ostensibly for oil, but mostly because we have a president who's addicted to power and attention and needs to deflect from being friends with the world’s most famous pedophile. Shame on these fucking monsters who run my country. They need out.

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.

AUMF were justified in some way but this is an even more blatant and direct power grab by the presidency than anything we've seen before. This war is the pure rule by fiat of a dictatorship and it's only going to get worse until it's ended Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

It's also worth pointing out that attacking Venezuela is pure tyrant shit there's not even the fig leaf of the AUMF here Trump is a dictator starting a war and lighting the Constitution on fire to do it. I emphasize this not because the horrors committed under the Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

We warned you about this type of sh*t with Bush. With no enforcement of the laws on the books, enjoy your dystopia as Trump laughs.

done with the occupying settler state known as the "United States" our Governors need to pull some MAJOR SHIT tomorrow and halt all our taxes going to this mad king.

When you treat criminals with kid gloves, you've only proven to them that they can get away with it, and they do it again. This used to be old conservative mantra. Well, with war crimes, we agree. The US has been too complacent too hold its leaders to account on war crimes. Lock them up.

If you or someone you know have been a victim of the sexualized deepfakes created by Grok and would like to discuss your civil legal options, DM me or reach out on Signal at riot.95. I can connect you with excellent free legal counsel.

thankfully donald trump is speedrunning administration and political movement suicide. this should be extremely bad for him and his movement long term. democrats please stand against this the world is begging for you to stand strong against imperialism

CALL YOUR FREAKING GOVERNORS TOMORROW. he's freely asking for war and bombs to fall here. HIM AND NETTY JUST PLANNED THIS. they JUST HAD NEW YEARS TOGETHER PEOPLE. jfc, when will you all see the connections... you need to and fast.

European allies will not do anything to stop it because they are too hopelessly dependent on the rotting corpse that is currently the American empire. But long term, no one will ever trust us again and the election of Trump will be viewed as the suicide of the last global superpower.

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

“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 think they're....done? i haven't heard planes or explosions in a while. it's 5am and at this point i just want to sleep. we'll find out what happened on the news in the morning i guess

Trump has started bombing Venezuela? Well, I'd better immediately tune in to cable news and hear endless roundtable discussions from pundits and retired generals who didn't get one fucking thing right about the Iraq War.

The most horrifying thing to me? I'm NOT horrified by this. How the fuck did we let this become normal?

No matter what the fuck happened here the minimum demand here is that Trump needs to be immediately impeached and removed from office and everyone involved in this needs to be hauled in front of a tribunal Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Something americans need to understand is that your country has always been a colonial occupation war monster with an endless hunger for new resources and territories that not only has never shied away from mass death but in facts seems to seek it enthusiastically at every turn.

Well if there’s one good thing, we’ve learned over the last few decades that people always embrace the US and democracy after their leaders are removed by the US military. So this should work out — hold on, I’m getting an update …

It's illegal! Blah blah blah. Who cares? I want to know what is going to be done about it and I suspect the answer is nothing significant.

"A mutant is a lot more likely to be a victim of violence than the perpetrator." Well said, C Robert Cargill. That works for trans people too.

You know how Trump gets stupid ideas stuck in his head forever? “In a July 2017 private briefing with intelligence officials, President Donald Trump apparently asked why the US wasn’t at war with Venezuela, noting that “they have all that oil and they’re right on our back door.”

Well anyway down with the American empire

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

RIP Dick Cheney, you would have finally found something to like about the Trump presidency (illegally overthrowing a government for oil)

Three days into the new year, and the United States has already committed unforgivable war crimes. Congress did not sanction war. What we did in Venezuela was unconstitutional as it was unconscionable. No one wants this but war profiteers and oil tycoons. I am deeply ashamed of my country.
