Is this anything?
The stolen land is whatever land is over the oil.

The stolen assets are whatever extract and store the oil.
1. A blockade is an act of war

2. The idea that Venezuela has stolen land from the United States is so laughably stupid on its face that even some of his base is like 🤨

3. It’s always about oil.

Crap, I just realized that within 12 months a bunch of centrist dems will be criticizing Trump for not getting enough oil out of Venezuela.
well, nice to be able to skip the “this war isn’t for oil, how dare you” phase of things this time around
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Trump: Oh yeah? would someone flailing from the almost imminent release of damming Epstein revelations distract you like this?

noam chomsky hung out with jeffery epstein and steve bannon The Right Way
Noam Chomsky’s emails to Jeffrey Epstein display none of the fawning chatter found from, say, Larry Summers. And he does not appear to have been co-opted by whatever access Epstein provided.

What the Noam Chomsky–Jeffrey Epstein E-mails Tell Us
Chomsky has often suffered fools, knaves, and criminals too lightly. Epstein was one of them. But that doesn’t mean Chomsky was part of the “Epstein class.”

Hi: speaking as a Jew, not giving a fuck about ICE raids or Trump shitting on the Constitution because there are also antisemites in the world is a you issue. Don't you fucking blame your choices on us
This is why I can't muster much give-a-fuck about ICE raids or anything that Trump is doing.

This is orders of magnitude worst that any of that.

It's not quite that they are high on their own supply collectively, so much as trump is high on all the crap his staff feeds him about how popular he is. They have to keep acting like all Trump does is win because he might just fire them if they force him to confront how much he is actually losing.
when you read this it is very clear that Wiles thinks she is flexing the administration's muscle. relatedly, it is also very clear that the White House is completely delusional about its standing with the public. they are high on their own supply.

Susie Wiles discusses the Epstein files, Pete Hegseth’s war tactics, and “retribution” against Letitia James.

The European far-right has worked to sanitize its history of deep antisemitism by claiming to be the protectors of the Jews against Muslim immigrants, deemed to be the “real antisemites.” It’s unsurprising that the American right is now trying to do this. It’s incumbent on us not to let them.
Just weeks after refusing to condemn the Groypers in the Republican Party, JD Vance is blaming rising antisemitism among young Americans entirely on foreigners. This is the same game the German far-right plays to off-source their own responsibility for German antisemitism onto Muslim immigrants.

The genius of Louise Fletcher's portrayal of Kai Winn is how skillfully she did Erika Kirk face.

I wondered for a moment if anyone had set up a gofundme for the Sydney hero's medical bills. Then I remembered people outside of America don't need to do that.

Using a horrific antisemitic attack to spread vile, hateful Islamophobia, harms Muslims while doing nothing to help Jews. Especially given that the hero who disarmed a shooter, Ahmed al Ahmed, is a Muslim immigrant to Australia.

Compare the statement about the antisemitic terror attack in Australia by the Israeli Prime Minister with the one by Zohran Mamdani, and ask yourself who more truly cares about condemning antisemitism, as opposed to using it to promote unrelated politics.

No, this is not why there was an antisemitic terror attack in Australia today. You really can critique the actions of the state of Israel without saying that they are responsible for all antisemitism across the entire world. Truly, you can.
December 14, 2025 at 4:41 PM
News organizations need to stop asking for or printing comments from Israeli leadership about antisemitic violence in the diaspora. They don't care about diaspora Jews and they automatically politicize any tragedy as an excuse to stifle criticism.

No, Jews around the world don't suffer because of the actions of the government of Israel. Jews around the world suffer because antisemites use the actions of the government of Israel to justify attacks on Jews. And if you make the same association, you're also an antisemite.
