Yes, you can be anti-Maduro AND critical of what Trump’s done—especially since he’s now leaving that regime in place without Maduro. And Trump’s threatening to take his vanity bully project to other countries. This will not end well. It’s not even going well now.

And one of the reasons for that is the false narrative that Democratic leaders aren't doing or saying anything against the Administration. Don't perpetuate the other false narrative that there is nothing we can do to resist.

Democratic leaders DO speak out for US.
But that makes no difference whatsoever, because we failed to elect enough Democrats.

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

In a lawless administration, reminders to obey the law are rather unwelcome. So Mark Kelly must be punished for not fitting in by obeying the rules.

Today the Pentagon censured Senator Mark Kelly and moved to strip part of his earned military retirement benefits for stating the truth.
This administration is trying to convince Americans that truth is whatever it says it is—even when the evidence is plainly in front of us.

“No room at the Inn” is a biblical reference about immigrants (Jesus’ parents) being turned away. Not the government. Way to go, Hilton! The 3rd Amendment protects private entities from having to house the government.

It's a point of pride when your country has a strong military that keeps the peace.
It's a source of shame when politicians turn your strong military into an international armed robbery gang.
