Trumpism is the worst of the last 50 years of Republican politics, amped up, legally unbound, and garnished with some noise and nonsense about tariffs. That's all it is and all it's ever been.

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country?
There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

Today they followed Trump’s illegal order to invade Venezuela and abduct Maduro

At times like this, I wish Bush & Cheney were here to invade Mar a Lago and capture this dictator. Makes much more sense to me than Iraq.

“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.

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.
Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

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

Fascists are almost always expansionist.
They have to be. They are incompetent at governing; they depend on crises for power and war to feel like real men.
They need natural resources and places for mass murder.

Make them feel about me the same way everyone who's ever defaulted on student loans feels about their voicemail.

Ask not what your representative will do for you (nothing), ask how you can make your representative so miserable they quit their job
My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds.
I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are.
My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

It's 25 degrees outside.
Organizers are leading the crowd in a chant of, "no boots on the ground, no bombs in the air!"
Two protesters hold a large banner reading, "no war for Venezuela oil."
