Congress needs to fear the masses more than they do trump and musk.
Happening now: a protest is underway in downtown Chicago against the overnight U.S. attacks on Venezuela, which included the kidnapping of its President Nicolás Maduro. Protestors are filing into the city's Federal Plaza despite the dark and below-freezing temperatures.

Last year, Trump promised American oil executives “a great deal” if they donated $1 billion to his campaign.
Today, he gave them Venezuela — home to the largest oil reserves in the world.
This new war is not only illegal and reckless; it is deeply corrupt.

These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver.
This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.

Battle of Inō (1556). Oda Nobunaga leads 700 men against rebel vassals supporting his brother's attempted usurpation of the clan leadership. He launches a surprise attack against Shibata Katsuie's 1,000 men, before the latter can link up with Hayashi Hidesada.

There are many, many people still viewing world events like today's through an ideological prism, as if the Trump regime has coherent or principled worldviews.
The sane among us realize Trump could just as easily "capture" the Canadian Prime Minister next month, on a whim.
