Arizona Public Service killed my mother
www.APSKilledMyMom.com
I put together a proper website
❝
My mother Kate Korman owed $500 to Arizona Public Service, so shortly before her 82nd birthday they cut off her electricity.
Temperatures were in the 90s and climbing. Without air conditioning, the heat killed her within a few days.

Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

(Semafor) - The New York Times and Washington Post learned of a secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin Friday night — but held off publishing what they knew to avoid endangering US troops ..

You ever think about how the Roman Senate kept meeting centuries into the reigns of emperors. Hanging out, shooting the shit, giving speeches, and play-acting that their positions of privilege remained positions of power.

This is why the slow-roll policy reversal strategy has not functioned to meaningfully hurt Trump. You can't defeat the Wrestling Presidency with Debate Club.
Sure, it's good that courts keep rejecting his actions. Those are true defensive victories, but they do not open a line of attack.

Trump has no interest in governing - but he loves the pageantry of the presidency and the power to order violence while “looking strong.”
He has no coherent ideology, but a worldview defined by reactionary grievances and an insatiable impulse to dominate.
An incredibly dangerous combination.

Trump to Fox & Friends on the raid that captured Maduro: "I mean, I watched it literally l like I was watching a television show. If you would've seen the speed, the violence -- it was an amazing thing."

out of my depth on any foreign policy thing but seems clear that at least some real part of this is fueled out of, if not a kind of boredom, a very real desire to entertain themselves because they are absolutely not interested in governing beyond shows of force they can post about online

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather.
“No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!”
“No boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”

If you don't think the capture of Nicolas Maduro has made the world safer, just remember how the death of Saddam Hussein brought stability to the region and a lasting peace to the world.

Putting this correction here.
We need to repeal the Hague Invasion Act and sign onto the Rome Statute, yes.
Quick note, however—we need to submit to the ICC. The US is subject to the ICJ, as are all full UN member states, but is not a signatory to the Rome Statute, which establishes the ICC.

A college sophomore at an Occupy rally could not have generated such a grotesque outsized caricature of US imperialism
Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."
