Video shows gunfire over Caracas, where officials said unauthorised drones were seen over the city, days after the US abduction of Venezuela’s Maduro.

Authorities said police fired warning shots as a deterrent, but gave no details of who was flying the drones.

Yes, you can be anti-Maduro AND critical of what Trump’s done—especially since he’s now leaving that regime in place without Maduro. And Trump’s threatening to take his vanity bully project to other countries. This will not end well. It’s not even going well now.

Trump’s apologists defend his actions on Jan. 6, 2021 by claiming he merely told the mob to march “peacefully and patriotically.”

The truth: Trump’s speech writers added that phrase. It’s entirely inconsistent with the rest of his incendiary speech, which included about 20 uses of “fight.”

Tomorrow is the 5th anniversary of the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.

I’m proud of the work we did on the House January 6th Committee.

January 6th should’ve been the end of a political movement based on a cult of personality, conspiracism, extremism & lies. Instead, it is now in power.

If the attack on Venezuela and the abduction of its president were part of a "law enforcement operation," not a war, how come the U.S. still has a huge armada offshore? When cops nab a suspect, do they often set up a camp with hundreds of officers near the scene of the arrest?

Very important reporting from Politico’s @kyledcheney.bsky.social. More than 300 federal judges have rejected Trump’s “mandatory detention” policy, which locks up people waiting for deportation proceedings. Courts have found it to be “illegal and unconstitutional.”

Apropos of absolutely nothing at all, it's worth remembering that fascism relies on us being afraid of the people who seek to impose it.

When we have the safety to speak out, making fascists look like fools is a marvelous use of our time.

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.
