Different lens: Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch are turbocharging their war on reality w/anti-Mamdani propaganda from the NYPost to advance the billionaire agenda.

Finally read that Wired surrogate piece. Random thoughts: author did an incredible job. The woman who contracted the surrogate is one of the stupidest, most malicious people ever featured in a story. And I can’t get over the miserable sense that these people are winning.

If you still need to share a link to a tweet, but don't want to send people to Musk's cesspool - replace "x" with "xcancel" in the tweet link.
For example x.com/dril/status/...
becomes xcancel.com/dril/status/...
People will still see the tweet, but without going to Twitter.

Trump wants more Venezuelan deaths. And along with that, sadly, will come the deaths of American soldiers.
“.. In a telephone interview this morning, .. Trump issued a not-so-veiled threat against the new Venezuelan leader, Delcy Rodríguez, saying that ‘if she doesn’t do what’s right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro,’ ..”

The US took over Venezuela oil and it all was taken by the government at 100% losses. Anything in Venezuela is an awful investment.
Trump is trying to force US oil companies to rebuild Venezuelan oil fields that are too expensive to invest in at current crude prices while a full blown energy revolution is happening with cheap solar and electrification growing exponentially.
This is a dying empire shit.

Trump and the Republicans have started another Forever War.
Nobody is even pretending that Congress authorized a military operation to remove a foreign leader as a prelude to occupying his country and running it by (presumably) American military rule. The unitary executive theory now just makes Trump emperor of the world, I guess. Incredible stuff.
BREAKING
President Trump says the United States will run Venezuela until a “safe, proper, and judicious” transfer of power can take place.

Also, are there any actual allegations against Maduro's wife, or are we also setting the precedent that families of perceived enemies are fair game?
