NYT: “At least 40 people were killed in the U.S. attack on Venezuela, including military personnel and civilians… no American troops killed— About half a dozen soldiers injured…”

This is what they call a “law enforcement operation”? 😕

I know it’s exhausting. I know you’re sick to death of Trump. I am, too. But as he revealed yesterday, there is no limit to what Trump will do to assert his power. Your activism, courage, and attention are needed now more than ever. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-the-looting

“Since 1900, every time a Republican president has taken over, economic inequality has increased and the country has become more violent.”
The psychiatrist who warned us that Donald Trump would unleash violence was absolutely right

Looks like we can repeal 2A then since we finally have a real reason to use it and everyone just sat home and did nothing.

Cruelty doesn’t seem like a byproduct, it’s the goal. The Trump administration is set to destroy $9.7 million worth of contraceptives instead of sending them to women in need overseas.

Bollocks. I’m from LA. We burn more cars when sports teams win titles.
The area outlined in black (& filled w/ colored boxes) is the city of LA. Outside are cities w/in the county of LA; Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, the Valley, etc. They're all part of what's considered LA.

That tiny red circle? That's what Trump's just called in 700 marines to "control."

Get it now?

Elon Musk tried to buy Wisconsin's Supreme Court. He lost.
Susan Crawford's victory means liberals will preserve their majority on the court.

The Trump regime and DOGE are rolling out this playbook to attack Social Security — one of the most popular and effective government programs.

They're deliberately sabotaging it by firing SSA workers and cutting services.

Why? Because they don't want it to work.

Trump's Special Envoy Steve Witkoff revealed that Putin gave him a portrait of Donald Trump, painted by a Russian artist. But that's not all - Putin claimed he prayed for Trump after the assassination attempt, calling him a "friend".👇

They lost me years ago, I hope they figure out they need to go more left not more center soon!
By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires.

There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom.

Dems need to learn this.

This is insane.
There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.
