Trump has just announced he is going to RUN another country (with or without boots on the ground) to ensure oil flows for US companies.
Yes, there’s still people - including in Latin America - pretending this is about Maduro winning elections or not.
How is a Trump occupation any more legitimate?

It leaves the U.S. in charge of managing the future of Venezuela, with potential consequences for American lives and treasure.
It is way past time for Congress to reassert its proper constitutional powers.

Far from being a simple surgical strike, this action to remove Maduro will reverberate in unexpected and significant ways.
It undermines our defense of sovereignty, reducing our authority regarding actions China might take against Taiwan or Putin against Ukraine.

Once again, U.S. foreign policy is all about oil, regime change, and might makes right.
This military operation violated our own Constitution which requires Congressional approval for acts of war.

Today it was revealed that the Coast Guard would no longer classify swastikas and nooses as hate symbols. Unacceptable. I just met with Admiral Lunday, and got his committment to publish a new policy. Hate has no place in our armed services.

In 1889, schoolkids in Britain held a nationwide wave of school walkouts, taking to the streets to demand shorter hours, less homework, less corporal punishment and free education. We have now mapped lots of these & built a timeline on our Stories app: stories.workingclasshistory.com/tag/15377/18...

So in the course of three days I found out that part one for my FFS reschedule is on the 14th, and then I found out I’m homeless in the streets on December 1. I have been talking to people to try and figure out some kind of solution, but to this point I haven’t had much success.
