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.

Diagnosis rates are rising because the NHS pathway is overwhelmed and fragmented, not because distress is being exaggerated.
