This war is completely illegitimate: 60% of Americans disapprove of going to war with Venezuela—74% disapprove war without Congressional approval. Only 19% are in favor.

The people oppose it. Our representatives didn’t approve it. Trump should be removed for this unconstitutional war.

Thanks to the MAGA regime, the US Supreme Court is illegitimate, the US Congress is broken, the White House is bulldozed and the US govt is destroyed just as Putin instructed.

America is the new Russia. Fuck fascism. Fuck Trump. Something should've been done about this a long time ago. There's no good reason that manlet is still president. No excuse.

Trump just handed Russia and China all kinds of pretext and precedent to take illegal, unilateral action. We are headed into very dangerous times.

Trump is exploiting our laws in ways no President in history ever did because our democracy never thought any person would get this far.

Trump has and he isn’t done.

Congress needs to shut this Venezuelan aggression down instead of voting down the ability to. Unilateral war is NOT his privilege.

Hey Congress? How does it feel to be powerless? No wonder so many GOP are quitting. If they disagreed with their party all they ever had to do was vote against them! Instead their cowardice has given 47 its powers—the purse, exec orders treated as laws and now WAR. DEMOCRACY=COUNTRY OVER PARTY!

Completely and absolutely agree, the message Trump’s actions in Venezuela sends to Russia and China is that anything goes, international law be damned. Russia and China will act aggressively no matter what, but this adds cover to their agendas on Ukraine and Taiwan.
Nigel Farage expresses support for Trump's "unorthodox" breach of international law - on grounds that they may "make China and Russia think twice"

But the main impact on Russia and China will be to help them to legitimise aggression in cases like Ukraine and Taiwan, citing Trump/US as analogous.

On January 6, 2021, Donald Trump got away with the biggest crime in American history. And was rewarded for it.

Trump voters have turned the most powerful country in the world - the longtime leader of the democratic West - into a violent rogue state.

In doing so, they have smashed any semblance of international law and order.

This ‘might is right’ world MAGA have inflicted upon us endangers all of humanity.

Trump's audacious and probably illegal capture of a Venezuelan leader of doubtful legality suggests he believes he has the right to intervene, i.e. grab what he wants, anywhere in the western hemisphere. Europe, already worried by Trump's Greenland rhetoric, has been warned

As a veteran, I say this:

All active duty troops involved in the illegal attack on Venezuela, and illegal abduction of the democratically elected President of that country, are by definition war criminals.

Commanders should have disobeyed illegal orders.

Troops should do so going forward.

Charlotte Nichols MP (Labour, Warrington North) says AI-generated sexual harassment must be the final straw for the UK government using X

A growing number of Labour MPs thought this needed a proper review last year: next week may see this cut through

Misogyny is an official priority of this gvt
There is, to my mind, no justification for the continued use by the UK Government of X as a platform for official comms. There hasn't been for some time, in fact, but if the latest developments around AI-generated image abuse and CSAM don't change the policy I really don't know what will.
NEW: People are using Elon Musk's chatbot, Grok, to alter images to depict real women being sexually abused, humiliated, hurt, and even killed.

If the House Republicans had any guts, they'd hold an emergency impeachment vote on Trump today.
If the Senate Republicans had any guts, they'd convict Trump of violating the Constitution tomorrow.
The Constitution means nothing it if it can be ignored with impunity.

Fascinating.
Nothing is too crazy to not be possible these days.
The cynics think today's attack on Venezuela is staged and transactional. Maduro is allied with Putin, but in 2019 Putin offered Trump a swap: Russia cedes Venezuela and gets Ukraine. (See Fiona Hill's testimony in Trump's first impeachment trial, h/t @davetroy.com). Even Maduro may be in on it. 2/

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world.
