Lovely tribute to Coach Beam on the Super Bowl pregame show just now. Nice local touch.
Saturday’s celebration of life for John Beam, the longtime Skyline High and Laney College football coach, brought out luminaries from Mayor Barbara Lee to former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch.

This is the ad that Fox News does NOT want you to see.
Fox News rejected our newest ad, which demonstrates that Trump has “gone too far” with ICE.
But we will not remain silent in the face of these attacks.

If Congress doesn’t act, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire. It would pointlessly wipe out decades of diplomacy, and could spark another arms race that makes the world less safe. This piece is worth the read.

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

This to me is the missing piece of the puzzle, since it didn't otherwise make sense to me 1) why things suddenly escalated and 2) why we'd want Venezuela's poor quality oil.
If this was the issue being addressed, which I don't doubt, Trump's problem-solving is that of a five year old.

Something I see a lot of folks missing in discussions about what's happening Venezuela, particularly around oil, is the role U.S. oil majors' interest in Guyana—and the threat Venezuela posed to it—has in all of it. Explainer here: drilled.media/news/guyana-...
The U.S.-Venezuela-Guyana Oil Triangle
The U.S. interest in Venezuela isn’t just about the oil there, but also about the oil next door in Guyana, and the U.S. oil companies that have staked their future on it.

So fmr Honduran President Hernandez voluntarily surrendered, and was duly extradited, tried and convicted for drug trafficking, and Trump pardoned him 6w ago.
And this morning, Trump illegally attacks Venezuela and abducts its president and his wife purportedly to try them for drug trafficking.

Make sure you take some of the anger you’re feeling right now and use it to contact your officials to demand impeachment now.
It’s basically the least we can possibly do in opposition to this, which IMO makes it mandatory.
