Folks bypass things like the fact that NYPD activated drones and 30 cop cars for a demonstration of 1000 people in freezing weather today. The levels of surveillance and potential repression are taken as regular order in this country.

I have zero expectation that anyone will stand with Canada in the event of US aggression against us. Certainly not the UK or Europe. Not conscientious objectors in the American military. Not Democrats. Not the American people on the whole.
If we don’t have the courage to stand against blatant imperialism, we shouldn’t be surprised when no one stands with Canada either.

we are living through a real reminder of why Harris embracing the Cheneys was a bridge too far for a lot of Democrats who got very yelled at for looking a gift horse in the mouth

I think, unfortunately, the "success" of the Venezuala operation + the previously reported planning for a Mexican operation means the Trump Administration is, unless meaningfully stopped, absolutely going to be invading Mexico. This simply cannot be treated as an empty threat

You can introduce articles of impeachment at any time, Zoe.
You can also work to convince your Republican colleagues that illegal wars aren't good for their electoral prospects. Stop acting like you have no agency here.

Trump illegally attacked Venezuela without constitutionally required approval. Trump says it's to take their oil and that his cabinet members will run the country.
Will any Republican members of the Senate or House finally stand up for the Constitution? Have they no shame?

As you read the news today, watch who phrases the news as an "illegal invasion and regime change" versus "bringing democracy". It'll tell you everything you need to know about the news source you're reading, and frankly should decide whether you ever read them seriously again.

The Liberals refuse to deal with the threat Trump poses because they can't acknowledge that major changes happen quickly and their own bubble of elite safety isn't permanent.
The Conservatives like Trump and don't care if he invades Canada because they know they'll be installed as puppet leaders.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Drugs are the primary boogeyman used to justify imperial intervention in Latin America. When academics and activists like myself talk about legalizing drugs, it's not only to keep drug users safe from the toxic supply (which is reason enough), it's about geopolitical stability. It affects YOU

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Kind of amazing how someone as dumb and unsophisticated as Trump is simply manages to perfectly crystalize US foreign policy this century. He's on Fox & Friends just straight up saying "yeah we're going to put our own guy in there and take the oil"
