White supremacy is not just discrimination against POC. It is a REQUIREMENT of capitalism.
It creates a caste system, under which each group of living beings is categorized, from white wealthy men, to POC, to poor whites, to domestic and wild animals, to nature.

Good morning.
You are waking up to the irony of a convicted felon president, who spent years avoiding his own criminal trials, capturing the president of a sovereign nation and holding him captive for criminal trials.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

Law is useless if there is no means of enforcement and consequence for violation. So... this international law is useless at to the US.
The US, SHAMEFULLY, has never agreed to be part of the ICCJ, and is therefore not subject to its jurisdiction.

What the United States did in Venezuela is prohibited under international law, which bars the use of force as an instrument of national policy.

The doctors chosen by a criminal fraud who knowingly surrounded himself with criminals willing to lie, commit crimes, and fall on a grenade for him said he's in good mental health, so that should totally be "okay" for everyone to believe. Right.

If Nicolás Maduro stands trial in the United States and gets convicted of 34 felonies, does that mean he’s qualified to be our next president now?
Just checking what the standards are these days.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

The problem is... even this post gets its wrong... the govt has problems absolutely! But those problems are bc the govt system was designed by and FBO capitalists!
If we change govt structure, but retain a capitalist socio-economic system we will be in the same boat.
First we must #KillCapitalism!

For the billionth time the problem isn't this one guy alone. Or even this one administration. Or even just the republican party. The problem is the government system itself. it's as if 99% of people just want civility, not actually interested in solving anything.

I know this seems strange, as Congress usually MAKES laws.
But when Democrats regain control in 2026--especially if they have both houses--they need to undertake a project to review, amend and repeal laws that have been, or could be used, to to expend executive authority.

In response to @kim4thebabies.bsky.social As long as we continue to believe 2 lies, that:
1) we need capitalism and that it's sustainable; and
2) fed taxes fund fed spending.
If we ever break our reliance on these myths, we will finally have the government--indeed the nation--we've dreamed of!

In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

To every red state citizen and GOP voter... imagine having a governor or POTUS who gave a sh*t enough to make a personal message like this for their constituents!
Without Gov. Hot Wheels in TX, or Billy Bible Thumper in TN, you might have the ACA expansion, affordable housing, etc.
