Trump "could have tried to persuade Congress or the public to give him permission to use force. He didn’t bother. He chose war despite polls that found a large majority of Americans opposed it." From Conor Friedersdorf

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.

After a year in which Trump has bombed ...
- Venezuela
- Nigeria
- Iran
- Yemen
- Syria

So sad to read that Bill Moyers died. He was such an important part of my understanding of America and the values I hold close.

"We do not want to give Trump an excuse to crack down on peaceful protest, which is exactly what he wants to do." @ezralevin.bsky.social explains why No Kings protests are leaving Washington, D.C. to Donald Trump for his "pathetic little parade."

Lovely!
To better prepare for this violent insurrection, Marines and the National Guard are being taught how to line dance.

This is California.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Horrifying!
The Trump administration has scrapped more than $800 million worth of research into the health of LGBTQ people, abandoning studies of cancers and viruses that tend to affect members of sexual minority groups, according to an analysis of federal data by The New York Times.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”
He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”
Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.
