Happening now: a protest is underway in downtown Chicago against the overnight U.S. attacks on Venezuela, which included the kidnapping of its President Nicolás Maduro. Protestors are filing into the city's Federal Plaza despite the dark and below-freezing temperatures.

What can I say here? If this can be done to dictators, like that, then the United States of America know what they should do next.

If you call now, you'll get an answering machine and you can leave a message. A great thing to do if you're nervous about talking to someone. Just give your name, your zip code, and demand they impeach Trump for illegally invading Venezuela.

THIS ISN’T GETTING ENOUGH ATTENTION.
More than 100 immigration judges have been fired nationwide since Trump took office. 21 in San Francisco alone, many without explanation.
Why? Because these judges provided due process under US law.
The Trump admin doesn’t want hearings or fairness.

With no state forensics for weeks, the Indigenous Wayuu community was left to bury the remains. They used sticks to push the bodies into five-foot-deep graves on the beach, covering them with thorny cactus to keep vultures and stray dogs away. Photo by Federico Rios.

Two days after the strike, a scorched 30-foot boat washed up on the beach alongside two mangled bodies. The gunwale was melted and frayed like burnt fabric. We matched the wreckage to a boat seen targeted in a video posted by the U.S. Defense Secretary. x.com/SecWar/statu...

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.
