I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day.

Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me.

Trump is weak at home, and he can be stopped – so long as the domestic political logic of foreign intervention is recognized and turned against him. This act of war is about regime change in the United States. It only succeeds if Americans allow it to do so.

The National Association of Medical Examiners has issued a warning about the lung float test, a controversial, centuries-old forensic tool that has contributed to cases in which women who said they'd experienced a stillbirth were charged with murder.
Medical Examiners Warn That Controversial Lung Float Test Could Be Dangerous
An exam meant to determine whether a baby was born dead or alive is of “questionable value,” the National Association of Medical Examiners cautions. The paper follows a ProPublica report on how the test had been used against women accused of murder.

Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened:

-- a second strike against Venezuela
-- Cuba
-- Mexico
-- Colombia
-- Iran
-- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)

Whoa, I listened to Fiona Hill's testimony in 2019, but I didn't remember that she said:

‘Russia Wanted Ukraine in Exchange for Venezuela’ – Diplomat Fiona Hill in Congress
They "Why" is leading me down a rabbit hole...
>Could it be his meetings with Putin were getting the okay for this? Possibly, you take Venezuela, I'll keep Ukraine?!
>Do you think that the Epstein files are so bad that F47 attacked Venezuela as a distraction?!

This is the tip of the iceberg.

As detailed in 2020 bestseller Proof of Corruption, Trump used Erik Prince, Rudy Giuliani and a megadonor to launch clandestine negotiations in Venezuela that would've effectuated some version of the deal. America is being lied to every which way.

After following orders to occupy large cities to assist ICE, bombing boats not coming to America and killing innocent people, violating ROE by taking more than one shot on the same boat to kill everyone, to last night’s illegal orders, our military has shown us how seriously they took their oaths.

Cuba. The effective age of consent in Cuba is 12. The Código Penal de Cuba of 2022 provides that laws of estupro (statutory rape) apply to minors over 12 (but under 16) only if charges are filed by their guardian, and such charges may be dropped before or during the trial.

This summer, I took myself to the beach for two days & wrote a letter to my fellow educators about “AI.”

My mom asked to read it; I told her, “Not yet. Let me get another draft done.”

Welp.

I should have let her read the first draft because she’s not here to read this one.

When America abdicates its role as a defender of freedom and becomes the oppressor, it emboldens dictators everywhere.

We are about to learn some hard lessons.

One being how instrumental we used to be at preventing the world from descending into madness.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.

It’s about oil and regime change.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

rubio pretty much believes in a reverse domino theory for latin america and since he is effectively running foreign policy in the region i would expect him to see cuba as his next target
And I don’t want to sound conspiratorial, but if they feel like they can do this in Venezuela without any serious consequences, they’re absolutely going to try it in Cuba too.

So blowing up the dead body of the man Trump deliriously claims stole the 2020 presidential election from him was part of a *law enforcement operation* targeting an entirely different leader?
