All of which is to say, there's a good chance that the events of the last 16 hours basically change *nothing* about autocracy in Venezuela. There's a good chance Delcy simply inherits the consolidated dictatorship, just like Maduro did before her.

Very important signal here. You can say it's abt oil. And part of it is. But the White House is actually being forced to strongarm the oil companies to get involved. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...
Trump admin sends tough private message to oil companies on Venezuela
The White House has told companies they must rebuild Venezuela's crude-pumping infrastructure if they want compensation for assets seized by Caracas.

I've always refused to deal with these sorts of hyperbolic headline spewers. Depressing to see why that is a good idea. I never deal with any of the main official Dem organizations either - DNC, DSCC, DCCC etc.
Thanks for these details. Hopefully people will see the crooks for what they are.

We should not frame this as cowardice. Cowardice assumes they don’t want it.
The point is that they supported democracy if it benefited them, and the moment it didn’t, they didn’t. They are at best neutral to it: what matters is themselves and their power.
It is why fascism arrived at all.

The most disheartening thing about America’s descent into fascism has been the abject cowardice of virtually all the people and institutions that could have stood up and refused to comply.

Owning people and genocide? Fucking horrific. Universal human equality and freedom of speech? Fucking genius.
That’s the American conundrum and why history is complex and beautiful and terrifying.

I'd caution against pushing this message too hard.
Fundementally these deals are just extortion payments, and Trump sets the ransom.
If he decides he wants the optics of lots of "deals" more than he cares about the substance of what's in them, he'll have no problem signing many "deals" quickly.

Again even if we’re doing 18 bespoke trade deals in 90 days (as Bessent claims) you’d need to be completing a deal *every five days* to stay on track
20 days since the 90-day pause and we’ve done *zero*
