Venezuela has a constitution.
Their constitution does not say that Donald Trump gets to appoint a new president of Venezuela.
It says that their vice president, Delcy Rodriguez becomes president.
She has already been sworn in.
Don't believe Trump MAGA bullshit.

This is purpura fulminans, a severe complication of meningitis (which as of today is no longer on our universal vaccine schedule)
Micro clots & bleeding into the skin cause skin & tissue death. It’s more common in kids & associated with 20-70% mortality.
Those who survive often lose limbs.

By the way: "Don't arrest people for misdemeanor possession" isn't some radical policy. It was SEATTLE's policy until 2023, when the city created these misdemeanors. And it was the city's policy for low-level drug felonies starting in 2009. The war on drugs was revived in Seattle RECENTLY.
My story isn't a simple "debunking" of the rightwing narrative; rather, it's a piece I was reporting already about how Seattle's police chief appears to have issued a directive in a vacuum, alarming cops and helping set of a right-wing media firestorm aimed at new Mayor Katie Wilson.

it’s remarkable how trump is unquestionably the pedophile president, and you don’t even have to get into the epstein stuff or his own behavior with children to prove it
Trump “pardoned convicted defendants who already had extensive criminal records for serious offenses including child sexual assault, rape, domestic violence, conspiracy to murder federal agents, reckless homicide, illegal possession of weapons, burglary, and possession of child pornography.”
Trump says he’s “pro-police” and “tough on crime”, yet he unleashed 1,500+ criminals onto our streets, many of whom assaulted law enforcement on J6. Since Trump’s pardons, they’ve committed:
- Kidnapping
- Sexual assault
- Burglary
- Death threats against elected officials
