Yeah to the surprise of no one the US isn't done with Venezuela yet. Not until they get the oil.

In less important news oil prices are about to go up like crazy. As if the US didn't have enough inflation already...

Speaking of which oil prices are about to go up like crazy. As if the US didn't have enough inflation already...

And the year just started.

Marco Rubio was confirmed 99-0 by the US Senate one year ago this month.

The US should be facing international sanctions after the illegal bombing of Venezuela but nothing will happen. The Euros will never betray their American masters. Latin America is too weak to stand up to the US and so is the majority of the rest of the world. This shit is bleak as fuck.

How is the 2026 world cup supposed to take place in the USA after the US just bombed Venezuela and kidnapped its leader? The world should boycott the US but we all know the Euros will do as the US says and most of the rest of the world will be too scared to stand up to the US. It's beyond fucked.

Video from the port city of La Guaira shows the aftermath of explosions that took place across Venezuela on early Saturday morning. President Maduro has declared a state of emergency after accusing the US of striking the country.

Half the country agrees with Trump's illegal bombing of Caracas. Most of the house and senate agrees, even many Democrats agree. It cannot be said enough that the greatest evils of the 21st century are the United States and Israel. Both the governments and the people are rotten to the core.

On positive news I outperformed the S&P 500 this year. Pretty big win, now gotta do it again next year.

I have a feeling the US and Israel are preparing to attack Iran in the coming weeks. Or Venezuela for all we know. It feels inevitable.

It looks like this is the worst job market since the pandemic. I have a feeling there will be more layoffs next year...

More evidence of Meta censoring content that is critical of apartheid, genocide, and illegal occupation 👇

As long as it's optional, this shouldn't be a problem. I get why people don't like this, but Firefox has been losing users to other browsers and one big reason is AI. There is a large chunk of users that do want AI and from a business standpoint Mozilla would be fools to not try and win them over.

Apparently the “terrorist” who “posed immediate threat” is a 3 year old child named Ahed al-Bayok.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes? That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

The masked burglar broke into the closed Virginia liquor store early on Saturday and hit the bottom shelf. The bandit was something of a nocturnal menace: bottles were smashed and alcohol pooled on the floor. The suspect acted like an animal because, in fact, he's a raccoon.

The U.S. housing market is going to face a price correction “worse than 2008,” according to housing analyst Melody Wright, who expects home prices to drop in half as soon as next year, per Newsweek.

The black Friday sales are terrible. There was nothing worth buying.

Something I've thought of for a while: the reason US schools are obsessed with the Holocaust is because it's meant to be propaganda. You learn more about the Holocaust than the genocide of the natives ffs. It should be obvious who this propaganda is meant to benefit, they're openly admitting it.

Sharing the video of this because it’s such a ghoulish thing to say that I’m honestly in disbelief that I even heard her properly

As bad as the recent Jeffrey Epstein emails have been for Trump, I wouldn't be surprised if the Trump admin have already destroyed the most damning evidence. We're probably never gonna see it but don't be surprised when Ghislaine Maxwell gets pardoned.

I guarantee you the majority of Democrats who today are mad about their party caving to Trump will go back to their "vote blue no matter who" mentality by next July. The majority of Democrats are mentally deficient, never expect a shred of integrity or intelligence from them.

Too often, critics of the United States haven't even read Donald Trump.

The more I think about how absurd a 50 year mortgage is the more I realize how absurd a 30 year mortgage is. 20 years should be the max and that should be considered extreme. There is no reason why people should spend half their life if not their entire life paying off a house.

Oh for fucks sake I kept reading all these memes about "50 year mortgages" and I was ignoring it cause I thought no way in hell could something that stupid be real only to finally find out it's actually real. This is the dumbest timeline.

Just more evidence of what we already knew, the Biden admin chose to willingly overlook and fund a genocide. Whoever is the next Democrat president needs to be willing to prosecute every member of the Biden and Trump admin for the crime of genocide. I'm not voting for anything less than that.

Biden knew that Israel was committing crimes against humanity in Gaza and then decided to keep US commitments to Israel, shortly before handing it over to Trump www.huffpost.com/entry/biden-...

Since a "ceasefire" was announced, Israel has killed 1,664 Palestinians in Gaza alone—a staggering average rate of 72.7 deaths/day. When are you going to meet your OBLIGATIONS under int'l law in relation to this on-going GENOCIDE, @albomp.bsky.social? goodshepherdcollective.org/posts/2025/1...

You know that feeling you get when you know something bad is coming but you don't want to wait and just hope it happens now so we can get over it? That's how I feel about the upcoming recession.

I really like the idea of a plug in hybrid, but it feels like it's bound to be obsolete when charging technology and infrastructure improve. It's hard to justify spending the extra money for one 😞

Look I'm just saying but the world would be a far better place if people who watch reality TV weren't allowed to vote.

I don't know, I feel like Amazon laying off 30,000 employees is a sign that things are really bad for the economy. Great recession 2.0 here we come.

😕

Tried to sneak a photo of a cute doggo and accidentally had long exposure on and I believe I have created man’s greatest expression of art

The United States of 2028 is guaranteed to be far weaker than the US of 2024 and the main reason why is because the GOP is too stupid to understand the long-term damage they're doing to the country. And this is good. We badly need to enter a new era where the US is not the sole super power.

If your movement (No Kings Protest) is supported by the Democrat establishment then you're doing something wrong.

The "no kings protest" is really just a corporate friendly opposition to Trump. This isn't a grassroots movement seeking to change our broken system, it's a movement that's trying to send us back to the Obama era. If you don't see why this is a problem, don't be surprised when we get another Trump.

There's no reason why one man, Trump, should have the power to release his friends like George Santos from jail. It's insane. Until people wake up and realize the Constitution is a deeply flawed document we will never have a functioning democratic system.

Every time I open Threads I am reminded why I need to stop opening Threads.

"What do you have to say about the capitulation that you participated in?" Cory Booker clearly wasn't expecting the pushback he got from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social Full interview: youtu.be/HLfzsOVjlxc

In honor of Charlie Kirk, the alleged free speech champion, Trump's State Department has revoked the visas of foreign individuals who made critical, disparaging comments after his assassination. What weak, pathetic snowflakes and hypocrites. Fragile, porcelain tea cups.

Mosab Abu Toha— "A Palestinian hostage who’s just been released was told his wife and children were slaughtered by Israel while he was held hostage. "His youngest daughter was turning two years old on Oct 18, in five days. "You will not see this story on CNN, BBC, NYT, WP, or other MSM outlets."

And just think that we wouldn't be in this mess if Biden and Democrats had done their job and held Trump and the GOP accountable for January 6th. But nope and here we are today.

CNN reports Israel will not release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya as part of the ceasefire deal with Hamas. The eminent pediatrician was detained in Dec. during Israel’s raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital, after he refused to abandon patients under siege. Continued below ⬇️

It's so weird seeing accounts with 5,000 followers only getting around 8 likes per post. I can't tell if this is because of Bluesky's horrible bot problem or horrible algorithm.

I hope the ceasefire lasts long but I'm hesitant to feel hopeful when we all know Israel is likely to break it. Hell the only reason I can see Israel maintaining a ceasefire is if they and the US bomb Iran again and if that happens well we'll be back to another mess...

I've been following politics for years but rarely used social media. A year ago I didn't know who Ezra Klein was and I heard of Charlie Kirk but he wasn't important enough for me to care about. Social media obsesses over influencers but outside of social media they're largely irrelevant tbh.
