Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies.

This is what fascism looks like.
This is what terrorism looks like.
This is what war crimes looks like.
This is what murder looks like.

The media will sensationalize and normalize it for profit whilst half of Congress sends out letters and the other half drool with excitement.

Trump's real agenda is not peace. It’s extortion, conquest, and theft.

“Trump declared ‘Donroe Doctrine,’ another moment that will stand for ages as an embarrassment to the U.S. and raises the question yet again of whether the commander in chief is cognitively stable enough to be ordering the invasion of other nations”

Trump campaigned on an “America First” platform. Now he wants to "run" Venezuela?

60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Health care is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable.

Trump should address these major crises at home and end his illegal military adventurism abroad.

How telling that the orange felon and his trashy gang of loyalist thugs would address the country about their war crimes in Venezuela from crime hub Mar-a-Lago and going as far as saying the MAGA regime will be running the country they just bombed. What a fucking nightmare.

History is clear: when presidents expand their authority abroad, they rarely give it back at home. Venezuela should force every American to ask what kind of country we want to be.

The MAGA regime was ordered to explain to Congress today why they illegally made redactions in the Epstein Files, just in case you needed more context as to why they are bombing another country and murdering their citizens.

The Jan. 6 anniversary will always be a mournful one for America. The challenge now is to make the day an aberration. Americans must summon the collective will to ensure that the violence, lawlessness and injustice of Jan. 6 do not endure.
