SO tired of Canadians & Europeans getting up in our face as Americans, preaching & scolding. How on earth do they think it's going to help. I started out being sympathetic to their concerns and am now thoroughly over it. Doomers of any origin, scolding outsiders: you are counter-resisters. GET LOST.

#USA is not at war with #Venezuela unless and until it is authorized by an act of Congress.
Until then, it is an unconstitutional action of 47 involving the DoD in an illegal move in Venezuela.
The people of USA have not authorized a war. Far from it.

A great article, not least because he traces the beginnings of the rot to long before Trump and calls out failures of leadership across the board.
Thank you for all you've done for us. When you take all the daily chaos out of it, 2025 was a steady ride down toward authoritarianism. I appreciated Robert Reich's piece in the Guardian from a couple of days ago which might be an appropriate follow-on. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
