They kidnapped the head of a Latin American country, replaced him with an insecure white racist who has spent his entire life arguing that Latinos are subhuman, and made clear that their primary aim is to plunder the country for its resources.

Per WASH POST, Stephen Miller will play an “elevated role” in Venezuela (what could go wrong!) and Machado won’t be president because she accepted the Nobel Peace Prize Trump wants (yes, seriously)

Wondering what you can do if you are able in this emergency? Suggestion here:
My wife has volunteered at a local food bank for years and confirms what many of you have probably heard: in this case, straight cash is a good donation if you can do it.
The food banks have better access and buying power than individuals do, and can try to address item imbalances as they see them.

If you are wondering when we ceased to be a democracy, this might be the moment, when the president of the United States says that broadcast news cannot criticize him.
Trump:
"When you have a network, and you have evening shows, and all they do is hit Trump... They're not allowed to do that."
