new from @tusk81.bsky.social + @yunao08.bsky.social: Five years ago, Donald Trump spread bigoted lies about the 2020 election and incited a violent mob to attack the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to overturn a race he’d lost. And one year into his 2nd term, we’ve seen that chaos turned into policy.

At least 33 January 6 defendants who were pardoned by President Trump have since been charged, arrested or convicted of new crimes, according to Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee who released two new reports Tuesday on the fifth anniversary of the insurrection.

Iran: Tränengas Angriff im Sina Krankenhaus in Teheran. Regimekräfte haben die Tore des Krankenhauses gesperrt

Der militärische Angriff auf #Venezuela und die Entführung von Präsident Nicolás #Maduro und seiner Ehefrau Cilia Flores erscheinen wie eine Neuauflage der US-amerikanischen Interventionspolitik in Lateinamerika des 20. Jahrhunderts. 1/4 Eine Einordnung:

Major outlets knew in advance about Trump’s plan to bombard Venezuela and abduct Maduro but stayed quiet, with NYT and WaPo saying they withheld reporting to “avoid endangering US troops.”

Após sequestrar Maduro, Trump assume cobiça pelo petróleo. Bombardeios visam os centros da resistência armada e popular — mas a luta não acabou. Episódio indica: é preciso colocar em pauta já, também no Brasil, ruptura das relações de dependência com os EUA

Cuban govt confirms that 32 Cubans died in US operation to capture Maduro. Most likely worked in his security detail Venezuelan officials now say the death toll from US strikes is at least 80

The death toll from the attack on Venezuela is now at 80, per Venezuelan officials. That includes civilians. Every article about the attack, or how the US somehow claims it will run the country, should mention the fact that, you know, people died, including civilians. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Massive protests have flooded streets across Venezuela as locals demand the return of abducted president Nicolás Maduro and first lady Cilia Flores. The protests also condemned the US military action over the weekend as a violation of sovereignty and democracy, urging the world to step in ⬇️

🚨🇻🇪 Protestos contra os EUA são registrados em Paris, Barcelona, Atenas, Amsterdã, Praga, Paquistão, Istambul, São Paulo, Nova York e Washington D.C. — 🗞 Al Jazeera

Neu ist die Unverhülltheit, mit der die USA #Maduro aus #Venezuela entführten: Donald Trump versucht nicht einmal mehr, den Angriff mit Demokratie, Menschenrechten oder humanitären Motiven zu bemänteln. Er spricht von Kontrolle, von #Öl, von Führung eines fremden Landes. www.npla.de/thema/politi...

By framing this brazen act of aggression in euphemistic terms, the media is falling in line with Trump.

In a protective presence shift in the West Bank last week, activist Nati Hanadari confronted Israeli soldiers about why they were protecting settlers going from community to community to harass Palestinians. (1/3) >>>

March is heading up toward Trump Tower now. Organizers stopped briefly in the intersection to call attention to common threads between Israeli occupation of Gaza and U.S. military intervention in Latin America. People inside the shops on Michigan Avenue and lined up for the Nutella store look on.

Die Entführung des venezolanischen Präsidenten Nicolás #Maduro und seiner Frau Cilia Flores war das Ergebnis monatelanger Planung – von verdeckter Spionage bis zum Bau eines Übungsmodells mit Safe Room in Kentucky. #Venezuela

🚨 HAPPENING NOW: Residents of Baltimore & local organizers gather in front of City Hall to protest the Trump regime's lawless military invasion of Venezuela & kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro & his wife Cilia Flores this morning. I'm on the ground for @therealnews.com

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather. “No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!” “No boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”

Anti-war march in NYC, organized overnight. Happening right now, 8th Ave. People care.
