"Why then are there so many Black and Brown ICE agents? Why would they kill a blonde haired white woman? Because white supremacy is and always has been a front, it's a cover for capitalism."

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum.

We need to dismantle DHS. We need restitution. And we need trials.

Nicolás Maduro "wasn’t captured," says Venezuelan reporter Andreína Chávez in Caracas. "This is a kidnapping. The United States has just kidnapped a constitutionally elected president."

In photos shared by the Interior Ministry, people take to the streets to reject what authorities describe as imperialist military aggression and to reaffirm that the president of Venezuela is Nicolás Maduro Moros.

#sandiego @codepink.bsky.social what are we doing to protest this bullshit in this home of the military industrial complex?
The Chicago protest against the U.S. attack on Venezuela has stepped off to march through the downtown area. Hundreds have joined the march.

I’m old enough to have seen this twice before. Afghanistan and Iraq. And now the US government doesn’t even pretend it’s not about oil. Sadly, many of the same assholes who voted for those two illegal wars are still in the Senate, leading both parties. And I’m only 41.

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up.

But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

Asked if the Venezuela strike happened today because Congress hadn't held a War Powers vote yet, Chuck Schumer replies: "That's a good question. I could not answer that."

Literally ten days before handing the keys over to Trump, the Biden/Harris administration offered a $25 million reward for anyone who kidnapped Maduro.

So I don't want to hear NOT ONE GODDAMN FUCKIN WORD from liberals about how Kamala wouldn't have kidnapped Maduro.

In November, I sat with two Venezuelans who fled the country after protesting Maduro.

Trump's masked ICE agents had just taken their son.

The boy's mother told me, "In Venezuela, if they take you, you don’t come back. This left me with the same impression.”

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

And this is what the useless democrats did
As Trump drags us into an Iraq-style war in Venezuela, 312 members of the House — including 115 Democrats — just voted to authorize over $900 billion in military spending.

Pedophile President now openly starts illegal wars for oil. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov get off your asses and do seething real!
Incredible. The Trump-Vance admin just posted a video promoting their bombing of Venezuela.

…And it is set to the song “Fortunate Son” — which is explicitly about the rich and powerful starting wars under the flag of hollow patriotism, and then making the rest of America pay the consequences.

Donald Trump ran on “America First,” a promise to end the era where we waste our taxpayer money waging regime change wars over oil abroad. Last night, he violated that promise, wasting our money in an unauthorized act of regime change war.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

People in Michigan tell me every day they're tired of politicians who take AIPAC’s money and vote to send our tax dollars overseas to bomb schools and hospitals while communities here at home watch their schools and hospitals fail.

I'm not here to play by the establishment's rules.

Here's a really easy New Year's Resolution:
If you're sick with something contagious, you will stay home if your circumstances allow.

If you can't stay home, you will mask around others until there is no possibility you are contagious.

By making these choices, you will literally save lives.

Mike Johnson makes Christian identity the center of his politics.

For Karoline Leavitt, it’s Christian and female identity politics.

Stephen Miller’s all about identity politics.

The podcasters who go on and on about men and masculinity? Identity politics.

The main complaint is which identities.
