Many of you followed me because my post about adopting Zeppole got a lot of traction, and now, he needs your help!
Zepp needs dental work, including multiple extractions, in order to live his best life. The vet estimated a max cost of $2,300 for this. Donate/share if you can!

Heyo! I am in #SanJoséCA at Mexican Heritage Plaza for this WET Sunday afternoon's emergency "HANDS OFF VENEZUELA" protest.
So far, about 50 people have gathered and a speaker system is being set up. There's very little shelter from the rain so not sure how much I'll be able to post 😅

As of right now, I am aware of one emergency "HANDS OFF VENEZUELA" protest for the #SouthSFBayArea that was posted online around midnight.
Tomorrow 3 p.m. @ Mexican Heritage Plaza in #SanJoséCA.

The only people I won’t talk shit to regarding our actions in Venezuela are my Venezuelan friends. They’re much more clear-eyed about the threat of US intervention and their elation over the removal of Maduro is completely understandable.

I don’t really give a shit if Maduro is a bad guy or not, that’s not the issue here and acting like it is only gives legitimacy to extrajudicial murder and the violation of international law. Get your fucking heads out of your asses.

By framing this brazen act of aggression in euphemistic terms, the media is falling in line with Trump.

Trump must be impeached immediately. This is not how a democracy functions.

Democrat leaders on this platform want you to believe they are the party of resistance while supporting genocide, rubber stamping Trump's nominees, folding on trans rights, using far-right rhetoric about migrants, working with mass surveillance companies, getting mad they weren't in on a coup.

Reminder that two weeks ago, the US government had $900 billion to give to the military to be able to do things like commit war crimes in Venezuela, but they cut precisely the same amount in healthcare for poor and disabled folks in July, and millions more people are losing healthcare as we speak.

As always I also have to remind people that Venezuela in particular is an extremely polarised society where family members have often stopped talking to each other over their politics so I urge some caution before you take any individual Venezuelan's take on this as the settled will of the people

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.
