1/Quick thoughts on Venezuela oil and what it means for world politics. Rather than a simple story of corporate oligarchy, more about Trump putting himself at the center of spoils that can be used to consolidate power i.e neo-royalism.

Trump says Venezuela to give up to 50 million barrels of oil to U.S.
Trump's announcement came days after U.S. forces attacked Venezuela and captured its leader, Nicolas Maduro, to be prosecuted on drug-trafficking charges.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing.

You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.

That is all.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.

Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

以色列军方承认,一名以色列预备役士兵在约旦河西岸被占领区开枪射击后,驾车撞向一名在路边祈祷的巴勒斯坦男子。

这名男子幸免于难,以色列军方对这名士兵的处罚是软禁。

根据联合国数据显示,在今年以色列对西岸巴勒斯坦平民的暴力袭击狂潮中,有750多人受伤,

据联合国称,2023年10月7日至2025年10月17日期间,西岸有一千多名巴勒斯坦人被杀害,其中大部分是安全部队的行动,有些是定居者暴力造成的。

同一时期,57名以色列人在巴勒斯坦人的袭击中丧生。(路透)

瑞典活动人士格蕾塔·通贝里在伦敦一场声援Palestine Action(巴勒斯坦行动组织)成员的抗议活动中被逮捕。

视频画面显示,22岁的通贝里手持一块标语牌,上面写着:“我支持Palestine Action的被捕者。我反对种族灭绝。”

伦敦警察表示,依据《反恐法》逮捕了一名女子,理由是她展示了支持被取缔组织的物品。

Palestine Action自2025年7月5日起被英国政府正式取缔,依据《2000年反恐法》被列为非法组织,理由是这个组织在抗议英国政府支持以色列的活动中,针对英国军事设施和防务企业进行了破坏财产等行为。

A friend was processing the George Wallace collection at the Alabama state archives. She sent me a copy of a letter to Wallace parents asking him to not “stand in the schoolhouse door” in June 1963. It was from my parents.

In English we know it as “Carol of the Bells,” but the melody arises from a Ukrainian folk tradition of songs welcoming the new year and summoning the forces of nature to meet human labor and bring prosperity.
Do listen.
I wrote about the history here: snyder.substack.com/p/o-generous...
Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins.

It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia.

The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.

This is my friend's cat. Its name is Cookie Swirl, and it disappeared in the American section of Charlotte airport on 11/10. We're asking for your help. She doesn't have any other socials, so if you can post it widely to see if anyone knows where it is. It's a little thing, but matters a lot to her.
