The swift U.S. removal of Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro sparked predictions that Beijing could attempt something similar against the leadership of Taiwan, though leading China watchers cast doubt on such a scenario.

TFW the elected leaders of the entire Western Hemisphere have to start rotating safe houses because Trump has decided rendition is the way to get whatever he wants

This was my theory. Trump stated Machado “didn’t have the support” but this admin has no info, plan, etc. so it was obv yet another off the cuff lie. He’s always been thin skinned but it’s different now. The expectation has escalated to sycophancy & anything less is unacceptable. Mad King territory.
WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.

“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

Totally agree. Me earlier today, "humans on the planet who have no voice in American politics but who have to live the choices of our politicians need access."

I lift video too. But in a respectful way. I credit outlet + reporter. And try to link back. Some aggregators cover watermarks. Not ok!

Observation on form, not content.

Tennessee Holler, one of the most notorious aggregators re-packaging news, steals video from NBC News and ABC News, already aggregated by the Bulwark (whose watermark is visible.)

No link to original content. It's theft. They do it to independents too. Gross.
WELKER: “Are you running Venezuela?”

When I blocked the Tennessee Holler, they were just posting memes and other people's content, usually in the form of screenshots without alt text. Has that changed? Do they report news now?

I believe he's the first acting Archivist of the United States to be deputized to run a foreign country as a side hustle.
WELKER: Mr. Secretary, are you running Venezuela right now?

MARCO RUBIO: Yeah. People are fixating on that. Here's the bottom line -- we expect to see changes in Venezuela

You've probably been following the story about fraud in MN. I wrote about the people who provide services who are being driven into bankruptcy, thanks to the Walz' administration decision to hire Optum AI to screen all payments. It's a disaster.
Perry: Trusted providers are being unfairly swept up in Minnesota’s fraud crackdown
As the state's new anti-fraud screening system went into effect, the Holland Center expected to receive $212,000 in payments. It instead received $22,000, David M. Perry writes. If nothing changes soo...

@CNN and @nytimes.com should have a “US Measles Cases” ticker running every minute of every day. This is a national emergency. It matters more than the DJIA.

I said this to a friend yesterday and will repeat it here. A lot of people are going to be hyper-focused on elections this year but if that's not your ministry, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HYPER-FOCUS there. There's so much other organizing work to do. You can focus your energies and attention there.

Given that Trump's critics call it a kidnapping, and Trump says it's an apt term, I see no reason for the media not to use it. Literally both sides agree it's the proper description of what happened.
Q: Rodriguez called it a 'kidnapping' of Maduro

TRUMP: That's alright. That's not a bad term.

If you or someone you know have been a victim of the sexualized deepfakes created by Grok and would like to discuss your civil legal options, DM me or reach out on Signal at riot.95. I can connect you with excellent free legal counsel.
Unless I'm missing something, and I'm pretty sure I'm not, Twitter's AI is cranking out CSAM deepfakes, Elon Musk is making jokes about it, and nobody is doing anything to stop it or hold anyone at Twitter accountable for its creation and distribution.

Is that right?

At this point easier to keep track of which countries Trump does NOT plan to invade
Trump: We have a very sick neighbor. That’s Venezuela. Colombia is very sick too.

Reporter: So there will be an operation by the US in Colombia?

Trump: Sounds good to me

For everyone saying the solution is just to get off Twitter/X—that’s not going to cut it. This problem preceded Grok, it preceded Twitter, it preceded the internet itself. It will outlast the AI boom. It’s a problem of patriarchy, which is reinforced with violence.

With that being said, Grok and other AI image generators should be destroyed. If we had a just society, it never would have gotten this far.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.
