When the Nobel Peace Prize winner and Opposition leader tells the world's investors that Venezuela has 1.7T of development opportunities that they can access if Maduro goes. Outcome was inevitable. Doubt she thought she'd be kicked to the curb by Trump and not kicked into power. Her job done.

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

Impeachment talk is a balm for liberals who need to be reassured that the Constitution they believe in still exists despite all evidence to the contrary, but nothing more.

It's so miserable that the US is still breaking international law and slaughtering innocent people for oil, in 2025, when we have the technology and resources to transition to renewables for good. It's absolute hell that we are being led by such close minded, regressive imbeciles.

The wooden chairs…

The heat in the middle of cement city Perth was phenomenal. I didn't have a gauge but the bitumen was sticky and the breeze up Hill St was like the breath from hell, despite being right near the river. Feeling for the zoo animals in South Perth .

Maduro is a dictator but man this is going to end in a bloodbath

So the Vice President of Venezuela - Acting President Delcy Rodríguez - has called all the nation into the streets in protest
