On this 5-year anniversary of January 6th, let’s all remember that we are not immune from coups and insurrections. We are not immune from authoritarianism. Preventing them from happening in the U.S. requires all of us pay attention and do something to protect democracy.

This thread is worth a read: Newman suggests the Venezuelan oil grab is bigger and more dangerous than a mere oligarchy grift. It’s Trump putting himself at the center of a “neo-royalist order.” It tracks with his tariff regime and attempt to nab mineral-rich Greenland too.
5/This is part of what @segoddard.bsky.social and I have called a neo-royalist order. Elite cliques use economic and material interdependencies to bolster their power. Think elite interests (Trump and his inner circle) not national interests.

Are we clear that this physically and cognitively declining 79-year-old man, who’s devoted his life to crime and amassing wealth any way he can, is excited about exploiting our military for his personal pleasure? If he can steal Venezuela’s oil, it only empowers him to keep going.

Watching corporate media talk about the new "Trump doctrine" makes me want to vomit. Trump illegally attacked another country and kidnapped their leader. The media should be demanding Trump be impeached and prosecuted by the ICC for war crimes.
