"The storytelling project on the right is all negative."
Rachel Maddow joins us for a candid conversation about history and the fight for democracy. She traces her path from AIDS activism to journalism and explains how she learned to use stories to move hearts as well as minds. We also wrestle with PEPFAR, mass incarceration and Trump-era abuses, and we talk about protecting our own power and holding on to hope while we try to push this country forward. In the end, Rachel reminds us that telling the truth is its own form of power, and she challenges us to keep doing the work our moment demands.

Protest in NYC: "hands off Venezuela."
NYC streets are loud and clear.
No coups.
No sanctions.
No wars sold as "freedom."
This is people power rejecting empire, greed, and oil-first politics.
Sovereignty isn't negotiable.

"The people united will never be defeated." Drawing the line in the sand: Baltimore residents are in the streets refusing an illegal war, a kidnapped head of state, and a president who treats violence as a profit strategy. No coups. No oil wars. No silence.

Some claim that Venezuelans are glad to be rid of Maduro. However, that does not give the US the right to militarily topple that government nor to kidnap him. People may not like Trump but they would not want a foreign power to bomb us and kidnap him. That's not how things work.

Maduro is a violent dictator. But Trump is putting the world at risk and violating international law. This was done to allow our oil companies to commandeer the largest proven oil reserves in the world. This encourages others to also act as aggressors. Impeach. Convict. Remove.

Maduro was a brutal dictator. But Trump had no legal authority to carry out regime change without Congress, to kidnap their leader or to plot the theft of Venezuela's oil. This is lawless greed that breeds criminals and dictators. The US has no king. Impeach. Convict. Remove.

Rep. Jim Himes: Woke up to news the US removed Maduro. He was illegitimate, but regime change without a plan often fails. Congress wasn’t informed or authorized. Giving one person the power to put troops in harm’s way is extremely dangerous.

This is exactly what corruption looks like: power used as a commodity, war treated as a profit center, and human lives reduced to line items. This isn't leadership or strategy-it' pay-to-play imperialism, and it's indefensible.

Claim: Venezuela had to be hit and Maduro captured “for drug trafficking.”
Fact: A U.S. federal jury convicted a Honduran president of massive cocaine trafficking — and Trump pardoned him.
It was never about the drugs

We’re on the verge of conceding Ukraine to Putin and letting China take Taiwan, while “protecting” semiconductors by shipping Venezuelan oil to Beijing. Meanwhile, healthcare is collapsing, the environment is destroyed, and corruption runs unchecked.
