It doesn't embarrass me to admit that Bernard Sumner ranks among my favorite lyricists. Somehow he offers universal truths in the most banal language. Luckily the rhythm section and synths help. Happy birthday. humanizingthevacuum.wordpress.com/2018/08/20/r...

Okay here’s an actual take: the fascist international is at war with the very concept of legitimacy.
Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine.
We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

I had an incredibly hard time believing the bozos that brought on signalgate would maintain OPSEC, only the press decided to do it for them
I’m kind of stunned there wasn’t a leak in advance tbh
CNN: We have major breaking news. CNN just learning of explosions in Caracas, Venezuela… We have now have CNN's own teams that have personally witnessed explosions.

I … will try to wrap my head around this arc tomorrow
Looks like the Trump administration is going to force the oil companies to rebuild Venezuela's oil infrastructure so they can seize the country's reserves, which the companies neither want nor need.
Let's hear it for free enterprise!

Amazing post from my senator. He can’t even bring himself to say “…and that’s bad.”
Donald Trump is clear: he launched this war to remove a foreign leader and now he claims the U.S. will “run the country.”
In other words, Donald Trump wants the U.S. to be an occupying power and control the oil.

(Semafor) - The New York Times and Washington Post learned of a secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin Friday night — but held off publishing what they knew to avoid endangering US troops ..

It's the third "totally" that indicates they really grasp the gravity of this situation.
Press call with Chuck Schumer says he has been talking with his caucus "I've been talking to so many members of my caucus today. Everybody is very, very just totally, totally, totally troubled."

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

The kidnapping of Maduro inaugurates a highly dangerous era of U.S. empire that for perhaps the first time in an era of mass media is not pretending to be anything other than a violent, extractive enterprise of domination.

it's crazy to have the usual subtext of pillage apparent in a lot of our world police action spelled out as the core objective of this thing (even as the old pretense that locals will be enriched is sold)
