just gonna reshare this post (and thread) because I think it's really important that people understand how we all use social media differently. some simply want to chat, some want to joke, or offload, or muse. These are not all opportunities for debate
I am begging the users of this wesbite - of all the websites that work like this - to understand the basic fucking manners that are involved in talking to other people on here. If you hit Reply, the original poster is going to take that as a direct response to what they said, because it is.

I don't have a good answer, but my question is what moral duty did these newsrooms have to the 40 dead Venezuelans – and the unknown others who will come after?
NYT, WaPo learned of the secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin but held off publishing what they had at the administration's request to avoid endangering US troops

Republicans voted over 70 times (!) to repeal Obamacare even though they knew they didn’t have the numbers, but it pleased the base, kept them energized, and showed that the party is still fighting despite being in the minority.

Trump when campaigning: I want Venezuelan oil.

Trump in the summer: Venezuelan oil is going to be mine.

Trump bombing ships: Can’t wait for that Venezuelan oil!

Trump after kidnapping the president: Drill baby, drill!

People: We are just now learning this is about oil.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

In the past week, the Trump-Vance admin:
–Bombed Nigeria
–Bombed Venezuela, abducted its leader
–Bombed more ships in the middle of the ocean
–Threatened military action in Iran, Colombia, and Cuba
–Accepted the “Israel Prize” & hosted Netanyahu in Mar-a-Lago (despite his soldiers killing Americans)

Nightmarish. CBS News is now running straight state propaganda. They handed Hegseth all three segments and are now tweeting flattering sound bites.

I genuinely cannot stress this enough. If you want to make a valid point about anything (especially social justice), using AI imagery is the quickest way to discredit everything you are saying. Same goes for fake or out of context images but especially AI. Just don’t.

An offer has been on the table for the last TEN FUCKING DAYS which means these CEOs knew about this shit in advance but said nothing (but probably made bets accordingly)

Looks like the Trump administration is going to force the oil companies to rebuild Venezuela's oil infrastructure so they can seize the country's reserves, which the companies neither want nor need.

Let's hear it for free enterprise!

It must rule so hard to be a democrat apologist. They can never do anything and their mean voters are always bullying them for tiny things like supporting genocide and funding the world’s most murderous military. They’re smol beans who need unlimited funds and support to do Something, Eventually™️
