If the regime change in Venezuela is successful, the US will likely declare it a "safe" country, revoke the refugee status of all these people, and set ICE loose to deport them.
There are 770,000 Venezuelan refugees in the US. Let's be sure to protect them too.
Here's a list of refugee resettlement orgs by state that you can volunteer with or donate to:

Rafaats surviving parents have been through so much. They have lost two of their sons in one bombing and have had $20k from their last campaign stolen from them while their health deteriorates.
They found a new trustee to run their campaign and still desperately need the funds that were stolen.

I love you Minneapolis. Thank you 🙏
I’m teaming up with some fellow community members to place a big order with a restaurant that has seen its business disrupted by ICE presence on the south side. And what better way than to get food for neighbors in need?
Burritos are about $10 each- please donate to help us provide 50+ meals!

YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m calling from [ZIP CODE].

I said pretty much this exact thing when I contacted my Rep tonight. This is a blood-red line of illegality and anyone not AT MINIMUM calling for impeachment should be driven out of office and public life.
Any Representative or Senator not filing articles of impeachment over this circus as soon as they get into the office is unworthy of their station and unfit for the job

An obvious point but one we should not ignore, especially those of us living in England: Sweeney’s account shows the central role that the Cass Review, and responses to it, played in shifting the NYT towards open anti-trans hatred
In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

GOOD NEWS! A group of patients with an otherwise incurable form of T‑cell leukemia have seen their cancer driven into REMISSION by an innovative immune therapy known as BE-CAR7. 82% of patients reached deep remission and 64% of patients have now been disease-free and OFF therapy for THREE years.

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.

Int law prohibits bombing countries for the sake of democracy. FOR VERY GOOD REASON. It tends not to work.
Attacking a country because its leader lacks legitimacy - whether as pretext or sincerely held rationale - is still just an aggression.
