If we can't trust governments, the press, or photo/video evidence to tell us the truth any more, we're going to have to get a whole lot better at trusting one another.
This video, viewed millions of times on TikTok, Facebook and X, claims to show Venezuelans taking to the street to thank the US for detaining Maduro.
But the video is a combination of four AI-generated clips and was first posted on TikTok by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.

I'm calling my elected officials and demanding impeachment. You should too. Yes, I mean you.
Candid answer - as someone who handled constituent affairs calls for years - while they’re not checking the phone right now, the urgency of the moment is important.
Show them you care enough to make the weekend call, and be counted that way. Staffers will clock and report this upstream.

Is there actually a benefit to leaving a VM now vs getting a staffer on Monday? Can do both but just curious

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Desperate flail by a failing president, or the inauguration of a new age of authoritarian regional expansionism and technofascist empire?
Maybe both. I don't know. Neither do you.
But it's scary and enraging and it's going to keep tearing us apart unless we come together and oust these warmongers
