I live a couple miles from here, so this illegal, fucked up war is literally hitting close to home.
MS NOW confirms that Maduro will be taken to Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC), the same facility—with horrific conditions—that held prominent prisoners like El Chapo, Sam Bankman-Fried, and Sean Combs, as well as ICE detainees.

for everyone who didn't live through John Kerry's presidential campaign, be advised: "This stupid and immoral war would be good if I were managing it" is not the poll-tested flex you think it is

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.

It's 2026 and Schumer is publicly admitting he continues to take Trump at his word
Schumer: “I was in the SCIF on 3 different occasions … I asked them: Are you pursuing regime change? Are you intent on taking military action in Venezuela?"

“And they are assured me they are not pursuing those things”

It's the third "totally" that indicates they really grasp the gravity of this situation.
Press call with Chuck Schumer says he has been talking with his caucus "I've been talking to so many members of my caucus today. Everybody is very, very just totally, totally, totally troubled."

It's very funny when NPR is
interviewing an expert in something and it all feels fairly normal and evenhanded and then at the end they're like "and that was Christopher Halliburton from the Center for Exploding Venezuela"
