The Venezuelan military says it has raised its alert level following the discovery of an alleged U.S. plot to fabricate an incident at an ExxonMobil offshore platform in the contested waters between Venezuela and Guyana to justify an armed conflict.

This has been my belief since November. Something is rotten and has been for a while.
I've spoken with a state official who agrees, and said that behind closed doors, most everyone knows that there's been some fuckery, but don't want to be painted as "election deniers."
The ballot won't fix this.

Very much agree. Plus: Even if America does have "free and fair" elections (big if!), what will the role of Congress be 18 months from now, as the Trumpists continue to centralize power with the executive? And what will even be left of the government as the Trumpists are ravaging state capacity?
The problem isn't that Democrats aren't being outraged enough. The problem is that the debate about tactics remains premised on the notion that 2026 and 2028 will have "normal" elections—the kind which OECD election monitors would describe as mostly "free and fair."

Fascism is unsustainable. It is inherently built to fail, despite what its leaders want you to think.
The bigger question is not whether it will stand. It is: can we hurry its demise? Limit its danger to the vulnerable?
And just as important: what will we build after?

Trump: "We brought back free speech in America. Free speech."
This is a flagrant lie. Today he told universities they would be punished if they allowed protests of or criticisms of Israel, a clear violation of the First Amendment.

38,000 workers didn’t die building the Panama Canal, and the 5,000 who did die were almost all Afro-Caribbean workers who toiled in segregated conditions under white American supervisors.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
Trump has not uttered a critical word about Putin but he and his VP publicly belittled the leader of the nation Putin invaded.
