“We’ll be selling oil in large amounts to other countries,” Trump tells a reporter after kidnapping Maduro, announcing “we” will run Venezuela.

This lawless thug and his criminal henchman have abandoned the international order.

Yes, there is no bottom.

As far as one can tell from this bonkers press conference it sounds like Trump thinks the Venezuelan regime is going to agree to let US companies run the oil industry in return for no further attacks.

The NYT’s weak concerns about the invasion of Venezuela now expressed are too little too late- they have been building support for this on their editorial pages AND news stories for months.

The subterfuges for imperial interventions have changed, but the methods, and the economic motives, have not.

It’s going to be very revealing to see which media actors and outlets embark on a project of defense and moral laundering for this illegal and shockingly reckless war.

It is the western rule of international law that should be in question. If you can lie for Israel and Saudi Arabia one minute, and legitimize US imperialism in Venezuela the next, people should be taught to never trust your structures or what you have to say

Start from the beginning position that the US and global north has no moral right to continue its centuries of impeding in the affairs of other countries. Then it follows that this is imperial, not that it is illegal. And illegal to who, the institutions that capped for Israel’s genocidal war?

Simply heartbreaking. Both in imperialism’s brutality, its apparent initial success, and the lack of a significant anti-war movement against this imperial villainy.

Remember that there is a legitimately elected president of Venezuela: Edmundo Gonzalez. He won the election in 2024.

President Trump said on Saturday that the U.S. had captured the Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro. Follow live updates. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...
A card reads: "Breaking: U.S. Captured Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro, Trump Says. The U.S. carried out “a large scale strike” and was flying Maduro out of the country, President Trump said. The announcement came hours after large explosions were reported in the capital of Caracas."

My question is who the fuck is next? If he’s now just doing this shit without any oversight at all, and with absolutely no one stopping him, why *wouldn’t* he invade Canada? Why *wouldn’t* he invade Greenland? Why *wouldn’t* he take back the Panama Canal?!

Kidnapping the leader of a foreign state without any declaration of war and announcing it via social media is full-on rogue state stuff. From the world’s number one superpower.

Trump's actions in Venezuela shows why it was wrong to dismiss his threats to Greenland. If he's willing to do this, he will be willing to do anything

Just watched the excellent doc about Seymour Hersh by Laura Poitras, and then listened to the BBC report what Trump claims about Venezuela and Colombia. No questions, no investigation of the facts, as if it is all true. NOTHING HAS CHANGED

Australia doesn't have 0 mass shootings, but very few. In 1996 there was a mass shooting in Tasmania. Then, you're not gonna believe this, politicians across the political spectrum DID SOMETHING. Not thoughts and prayers. They regulated guns, and it helped solve the problem. Unthinkable in America.

Just saw the brilliant movie Shttl, a Yiddish language, single take, black and white portrayal of a 1941 Ukrainian village before the Nazi holocaust. A wonderful rendition of a transitional period, and all the lively debates within the community.

On this week’s “More To The Story,” journalist John J. Lennon argues that true crime too often turns tragedy into entertainment. And he would know.

He’s in prison for a murder he committed years ago, whose own story has been fodder for cable news.

The latest from @revealnews.org:
Why America is obsessed with true crime
On this week’s “More To The Story,” incarcerated journalist John J. Lennon examines how our fixation on crime capitalizes on tragedy and turns it into entertainment.
