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!

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.

Maduro was a brutal repressive dictator who destroyed Venezuela. Trump did not have congressional or UN approval to engage in unilateral regime change. Trump's actions were illegal. All of those things can be true at the same time. Don't let them make this about Maduro.

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.

There are plenty of legitimate ways to assess fraud. That was not Shirley’s purpose. He wanted to impose terror and loss on this community. So did Trump. And that is what is happening right now.
This is the impact of networked incitement. And now every other “citizen journalist” wannabe Nick Shirley is on the ground in Washington, Ohio, and I assume elsewhere trying to break/make the next viral story. There’s potential for this to spin further out of control, hoping it doesn’t

#Trump breaks law after law and he still has a job.
I miss a child support payment. I'm threatened with licenses suspensions and prison.
Your judiciary is a mess.

NEW from @azrww.bsky.social: We wondered what Turning Point would look like after Charlie Kirk's murder. At this year's AmericaFest, his friends, colleagues & wife are making hay on his grave while bickering over which racists are too racist for polite company in front of neo-Nazi attendees.
“Why Do You Idolize a Man Who Was Racist?” Dispatch From AmericaFest 2025

With Charlie Kirk dead, this year’s AmericaFest quickly devolved into conservative in-fighting about whether it’s fine to hang out with open neo-Nazis.
