U.S. media (liberal and conservative) blackout on massive protests in Venezuela, thousands in the streets opposing the U.S. terror, kidnapping, bombing and murders. Don't look for coverage in NYT, NPR, Fox, CNN. Capitalist legacy media is censoring it. Widely reported in Latin American media.

Venezuela's oil is "among the dirtiest oils in the world to produce when it comes to global warming," says U of CA Prof. Paasha Mahdavi. U.S.ians who cheer Trump's focus on stealing another nation's oil cheer speeding up their own demise on an already burning planet. Could they be any more obtuse?
President Trump wants more U.S. oil companies to "go in" to Venezuela. But there are economic, historical, and climate reasons that may not be easy. Here's what you need to know about oil in Venezuela.

Nobody asked for an invasion of Venezuela. Nobody wanted this. Our country is run by narcissistic loons, and the only comfort I take is knowing how badly they will screw this up.

David Brooks Is the Last Person We Should Be Listening to Right Now
A mass movement against the Trump administration is essential, but no one should take an Iraq War booster’s advice.

Both parties have been long beholden to AIPAC, both funded genocide. This is why thousands voted for Dr. Jill Stein. Highly principled, she took not one cent from corrupt donors. Trump today being really awful does not mask or negate the Democrats many mistakes. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/01/o...
