I don't think having a US President appoint a viceroy after extrajudicial killings and blatant acts of aggression is particularly... rights-respecting.

Where are your sources? A lot of the people on the ground in Venezuela seem to disagree. The article has one source to back you.
After decades of repression, Venezuelans deserve a prompt transition to a rights-respecting democracy, led by Venezuelans, where their freedoms and right to participate in free and fair elections are respected.

Read HRW’s statement on US strikes on Venezuela:
US Strikes Venezuela, Says it Will ‘Run’ Country
On the night of January 2, the US military conducted strikes on Venezuela, and took into custody the country’s president, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife, Cilia Flores.

I need yall white folks to take accountability.

'We' nothing.

My people have been criminalized, our country destabilized, by the USA for over a century. Our land stolen.

This is white people that did this.

This is what the USA is.

This is its history, its legacy.
Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

In these difficult times, with the bitter cold and raging winds, I appeal to those with compassionate hearts… please don’t leave us.
Any help, any prayer, and any share can make a difference and help save my family.
Mercy doesn’t require much… but it means life 🤍

I think "Opposite political views" is doing the heavy lifting.
the thing is, “differing political views” used to be about what percentage to tax high earners and not whether brown people are humans

Everyone has a list of so-called "red flags" when they're dating. And for some, especially younger Americans, different political views is a relationship deal breaker.

When I say making is anti-fascist, I do not mean in a hearts and flowers being a shining example of good in the world way. Breaking chains of disease transmission that can permanently disable someone is keeping people out of the reach of fascist. Excellent explainer below.
make a choice to resist fascism every day.

Trump is gonna mess around and organize this entire country for the resistance.

Unintended consequences can be brutal.
When Border Patrol showed up across Charlotte, parents and neighbors rushed to Berryhill to meet kids at the bus stop. They stood watch, linked arms, and made one thing clear: if the city gets targeted, its children will not face it alone.
This is what community looks like.💙

Don't take this to mean Signal itself is compromised, the records came from a “sensitive source with excellent access.” Assume there's a mole in any big Signal group.
A “joint situational information report” from the FBI and the New York police department (NYPD), dated 28 August 2025, quoted from a chat on Signal, the encrypted messaging app, and also characterized the court watchers as “anarchist violent extremist actors.”

Anyone can become disabled.

Anyone can lose their job.

Anyone can become homeless.

Anyone can go hungry.

These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant.

Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize.

We must fight for one another & for the most vulnerable.

God, I'd love to hear Trump talk about these frogs.
