The largest human protest OF ALL TIME, around the world, Peacefully, was The Women's March, on the day after Trump was inaugurated in 2016. I am a woman who participated, and will again. I also went to Washington DC protest Brett Kavanaugh.

I do not normally get involved in politics on this account, but I must formally state, for all my local, national, and international friends, that I 100% do not approve of the illegal war the United States just started with #Venezuela. Stay safe, if you can. 💔🔭🦛

He had put us on a very dangerous trajectory. This is not what his voters voted for.

He must be removed before he gets us all killed…

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

There is no global authority that can police the United States. The law restrains us only if we choose to be restrained. When Congress refuses to act, when courts stay silent, when we bomb nations and announce colonial rule impunity isn't an accident. It's policy. This is empire.

For pete sake, stop blaming any elected Democrats for what is happening. They do not have control. The country did not give them the control. Blame the 77 million Americans who votes for this.

This Administration can’t even run our own country, how do they expect to run Venezuela?

Yeah, so fuck this country. I know this sentiment has been stated multiple times before and I tend not to be political on this account but way to start this year off with a strong start, huh, dumbass?

They originally planned it closer to Christmas as well...

Gotta say, the moderate position here is impeachment and removal and the moderates seem like they're on board.

Donald Trump and Marco Rubio making it absolutely clear Cuba is next in their crosshairs.

It’s incredible to hear Rubio say Venezuela was “colonized” by Cubans — as the United States decapitates its government and claims it’s becoming an occupying power to steal the country’s oil wealth.

When asked about other states reacting to Trump's intervention and occupation in Venezuela, he was very sincere: we will now produce all the oil Venezuela was not producing and the rest of the world will happily buy it.

Imperialism is not just grabbing fossil fuels. It's also powered by it.

The US has attacked a country, kidnapped its head of state, and is seizing its oil. Trump has invoked the Monroe Doctrine.

This is a moment for Canada to stand up: condemn this act of imperialism. Reject impunity and the politics of brute force.
