“Please attribute this to the US description of the operation,” translates to “please use the language of the oppressor.”
What a disgrace we’re seeing from legacy press. Am I surprised? Absolutely not. We’ve had years of terrible Gaza coverage to know this was coming.

Trump says we're running the country now, Rubio says it was a one-time law enforcement action.
As long as nobody actually looks into it too far, both can be true and both can be false as needed.

These are fascist, WWIII type moves. While we may not occupy the land, installing right-wing despots friendly to US interests isn’t all that different. Congress needs to get off their ass and at least try to do something.
New: Trump admin officials tell Zeteo that Trump is “very interested” in secret plans drawn up last year to send US Special Forces into Mexico.
One official even says Trump recently asked for updates on preparations for a possible operation.

After Trump’s Venezuela Invasion, Mexico Could Be Next
Officials tell Zeteo that Trump remains ‘very interested’ in the idea of sending US Special Forces into Mexico, as the president threatens Colombia and Cuba, too.

Have we reached peak absurdity yet? Keep an eye on relations with other Latin American leaders, especially those with resources the US wants to steal.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Why wasn't congressional authorization necessary?
RUBIO: It wasn't necessary because this was not an invasion. We didn't occupy a country. This was an arrest operation.

A few hundred people are gathered in downtown portland to protest the Trump administration’s attack on Venezuela. A broad coalition of groups is present. Maybe 350 people here so far.

In times of US coups against foreign leaders over oil, I recommend that people get into punk music and start with the Rock Against Bush collection from 2004.

Notice how the US media doesn’t call this a coup. It’s a “stunning culmination to a months long campaign” rather than an illegal act of aggression that flies in the face of international law.
This doesn’t require interpreting international law. It’s right there in the damn text.

Not surprised, but still disappointed. There’s a pretty good chance Trump will escalate while Congress is not in session during the holidays.
The House voted 216-210 against the drug boats measure and 213-211 against the land strikes measure. Both would have required Trump to seek congressional authorization for further attacks. interc.pt/4j0Zpey

I averaged a movie per week this year. What were some of your favorites?
My fav first-time watch was I Like Movies.
Fav from this year, I’d say One Battle After Another.
Fav rewatch was The Big Lebowski, but I always enjoy Little Miss Sunshine and Redline.
