It is entirely consistent to hate Maduro & strongly condemn the decision to remove him by force.
Trump did not seek & Congress did not grant authorization for this use of force.
Under our Constitution & laws, that makes it ILLEGAL.

It is outrageous for a President who is tanking our economy here at home to suggest that the American taxpayer spend a fortune to “run” another country while doing nothing to make life better in America. I opposed the war in Iraq from the outset—and the parallels here are glaring.

I am horrified that the United States continues to set precedent for China to take unilateral action against Taiwan.

Just because things aren't bad enough being a belligerent pariah-state doing war crimes to thrill fragile egos, we did it 3 hours after the Chinese special envoy landed in Caracas.

Looks like nine helicopters. Very risky. An outrage and a betrayal of the American people to launch such an ill-founded war of choice
Video rolling in of pretty massive airstrikes across Venezuela, plus low-flying helicopters which *appear* to be American.

We seem to be bombing Caracas. There are 3 million people in Caracas. This is an unprovoked attack. This is a war crime. This is criminal. We are the bad guys.

The demonization of Somalis is no different than the demonization of Haitians before the election. It's a political attack and has to be actively fought—not through half-measures or expressions of tepid concern but by demanding decency from society and respect for all of humanity.

Outrageous threats from Musk against an American public servant. We are going to have American political dissidents
That Musk is now threatening people with imprisonment and/or execution for non-crimes but rather being a person who he disagrees with should be the end of that pathetic website.

Anti-abortion laws and the movement that pushes them kill mothers
ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions.

The two parties are not remotely the same, & yet they are covered in our most prominent outlets in exactly opposite proportions to the actual degree of scandal, lawbreaking, authoritarianism, etc. It has been uneven for decades, but it’s reached new levels of farce & obscenity since Trump.
