We should categorically reject and contest the assertion or implication that being an "activist" in some way diminishes/qualifies a person's perspective or positions; it's part of an insidious and reactionary project to make "passive apolitical consumer" the only correct mode of citizenship

obviously, you'd have to be silly to imagine there'd be consequences for twitter having a "produce bespoke AI child porn" feature, but even so, you'd think they would have taken the fucking thing down by now

Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

"'Coup” is not a word you will see used to describe what Trump has done...instead, huge headlines about the “capture” of Maduro—a term that implies that Maduro was a wanted man in a legitimate legal process" www.discourseblog.com/p/the-word-f...
The Word For This Is 'Coup'
Call what Donald Trump just did in Venezuela by its proper name.

If Trump is a mob boss, not a neo-con, maybe the relationship he wants to have with the "new" regime in Venezuela is essentially "your criminal operation now gives US a cut of what you are doing, which is basically the same as you were doing before" but otherwise not much changes

The most junior copy editor at the nation’s worst college paper could find a way to squeeze “which killed an estimated 40 people” somewhere into these top 6 grafs of the NYTimes story.

It was a conscious decision to bury it in the bottom half.

Chuck Schumer: The Trump administration lied to me in three separate briefings about their plans for Venezuela.

The Democrats: WE DEMAND A FOURTH BRIEFING IMMEDIATELY.

“Trump please brief us on your manifestly bonkers regime change plans” is not the rhetorical master stroke some legislators think it is

I get why the words that come out of their mouths are so alarming and such a cause for outrage, but I can never shake the feeling that by dinner time today, Trump will be done thinking about this forever.

Genuinely funny watching all the "this is about democracy" cable news commentators scramble to pivot after the Trump presser where his answer to every question was "oil."

it's darkly humorous to listen to Trump and his cronies reference the fact that Maduro was indicted in SDNY as evidence he's a dictator and overall bad guy
