I actually think that the regime may have specifically waited to pull all of this insanity specifically until after the new year started, specifically to try and immediately shut down any notion of a free start and make people feel even more hopeless.

PSA: trigger warning - there is a video going around that shows #ICE firing a weapon into a vehicle after it has disengaged, allegedly killing someone.
Although it is important for people to bear witness, you DO NOT HAVE TO WATCH THE VIDEO IF IT WILL HARM YOU.

Never forget, "boots on the ground," is shitweasel politic-talk for "your uniformed family members in harm's way." They can substitute leather for flesh and blood in the press room, but know what it is really.

I really don’t like this framing that we shouldn’t care about Venezuela and should stay laser focused on the Epstein Files.
Like, you do not need to pit South American lives against survivors of horrific sexual abuse. You just don’t.
Lots of us have the capacity to care about all of it.

This is incredibly important. Foreign invasion destabilises countries. Bad regimes get replaced by worse ones. Populations get brutalised and radicalised. Did none of these ghouls learn anything from Afghanistan?
you simply do not have to preface your statements about this with “but Maduro sucks”
whether or not Maduro sucks is entirely beside the point - we invaded another country and grabbed their leader with no justification other than “we wanted to”
don’t give them cover on it

Nope, Trump's invasion/regime change/occupation of Venezuela isn't an extension of the Monroe Doctrine. That's just a bull crap rationale. This is straight up imperialism. They can sugar coat it all they want but we're not falling for it.

Whether you're in Chicago or Caracas or Kyiv, people should have freedom from military invasion whether the aggressor is foreign or domestic. But once again this regime is destroying lives to seize more power & hand more money to its billionaire backers.

Fun fact—Venezuela oil reserves are the largest in the world—larger than all Middle East countries…. And just today post invasion, Trump says U.S. oil companies will go into Venezuela and 'start making money for the country'. That was the plan all along.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

Maduro was a brutal repressive dictator who destroyed Venezuela. Trump did not have congressional or UN approval to engage in unilateral regime change. Trump's actions were illegal. All of those things can be true at the same time. Don't let them make this about Maduro.

Congress must immediately act to impeach & imprison Donald Trump.
And if they fail to do so, the rest of the world should punish the USA just as heavily as was done to Russia for attacking Ukraine.
We should not get to kidnap heads of state & "run" sovereign countries like vassals.

A primary goal of the discussion now on dragging dem pols to do the right thing has to be on widespread accountability and where appropriate prosecutions of significant numbers of servicemembers
