For those keeping track at home: Since Christmas Eve the United States has bombed or carried out raids in Syria, Somalia, Nigeria and now Venezuela. And Congress' response has ranged from nothing to support.

Thinking about Jean-Bertrand Aristide in Haiti this morning as the news comes in about Venezuela. The word “empire” is not an exaggeration. This is how it regularly defines itself.

Heard NPR’s correspondent, who is not in Venezuela, explain that people in Venezuela woke up to this news. Yet everyone I’ve heard from was up all night.
Intense observation on what the U.S. state is and isn’t doing requires critical attention to what the U.S. press is and isn’t doing, too.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

Unclear 1) how many casualties tonight's attack caused and 2) under what legal ground the US is citing to capture and extradited Maduro (if he is captured, Venezuela isnt saying just yet). Cartel de Los Soles almost certainly doesnt exist as an organization

It's totally true. I live near Fuerte Tiuna, the main military base in the capital, recently attacked, and I still hear bombs exploding on surrounding zones
[Trump, Invasion, Venezuela]
All Indications are that Trump just launched a Strike on Venezuela.
Like, Bombs on the Ground, Chinook Helicopters flying overhead.
For fuck sakes.
