What do we think the USA will gain by attacking #Venezuela? What do we think Trump thinks the USA wil gain by attacking Venezuela? What do we think Trump thinks we think the USA will gain by attacking Venezuela? Don't think too much, baby, just relax into the sweet release of oblivion...

The only drug the USA is hooked on from #Venezuela is oil.

Even if you think #Venezuela is bad, couldn't it also be true that us bombing Venezuela is also bad?

So many of Trump's actions are cartoonishly amped-up versions of the policies that we already had. Deportations? We already do them, but let's make them worse. And so it is with #Venezuela. Our 2015 sanctions were already contributing heavily to the migration crisis, but let's start a war with them!

I'm not a #Democrat, although I sometimes vote for Democrats. I wouldn't call myself an #Independent, with its connotation of moderation. I'm a #Leftist who will use whatever electoral and advocacy means necessary to make government a tool to advance working people's needs.

If Democrats were going to break ranks and end this #shutdown without any concessions on their demands for Obamacare funding, what was it all for? What was all that pain for, @durbin.senate.gov?

Two people watch the same video. One sees #ICE attacking an innocent woman and dragging her from her car. Another sees law enforcement officers doing their jobs being endangered by a reckless woman who they constantly must subdue. Confirmation bias is real...and it's wild.

ICE agents ran into Dayanne Figueroa's car, wrenched open her car door, dragged her out by her legs, and took her off to an ICE facility. They released her later that day without charging her. This is one example of the authoritarian crackdown by #ICE on #Chicago and other cities across the USA.
Chicago woman dragged out of her car after colliding with ICE demands accountability
The arrest of Dayanne Figueroa highlights growing concerns about the use of force against U.S. citizens and due process. She was released after a few hours without charges.

Press release from the American Federation of #Vampires: We object to the current presidential administration's encroachment onto our territory of fear and mayhem. Those qualities were formerly the responsibility of vampires and our sundry collaborators: werewolves, mummies, monsters, etc.

I know why some working people are the biggest proponents of #billionaires... but it's still frustrating that they are. Like, talk about working counter to your interests.

Defense of the #Billionaires, Round 2: They're the ones who add value to our society. They're risk-takers who deserve to be rewarded.

Whenever anyone criticizes the #wealthy, their defenders always say, "But they worked hard!" Know who else works hard? Construction laborers. But the person who created a social media platform deserves generational wealth while the laborer deserves to be bankrupted by a medical emergency? Right.

Poor Americans don't deserve #SNAP benefits, but Elon Musk deserves to have 250,000 times as much money as the average American will make in a lifetime? That's where we are?

We are here for each other. We human beings are a social species. Our specific superpower is not massive strength or speed, or ability to endure temperature extremes. We have our intelligence and our collaboration. One without the other does us no good. We are -- and must be -- here for each other.

Attended #NoKings? 4 things to keep in mind.
1) Keep going. Don't let this be the end of your activism.
2) Connect to an existing group.
3) Work toward a vision of what is good, not just against those things that are bad.
