I also have been assuming that the primary purpose of this conflict is domestic
I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.

“Republicans want children to die from brain cancer” is the easiest ad in the world and should be running now.

Find an event on Saturday to protest Trump’s effort to rig electoral maps and steal the 2026 election. Trump’s map takeover is starting in Texas, but it won’t stop there. We’re fighting back nationwide with a day of action this weekend.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment.
Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off.
📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

Fighting cancer and diabetes and Alzheimer’s isn’t a partisan issue. It’s a moral one. The NIH funds the research that treats us, cures us, and keeps us healthy. We call on the Trump administration to stop these cuts

I saw firsthand the incredible work Head Start does, providing child care for families who need it most.
Out-of-touch billionaires like Trump and Musk want to slash funding for programs like this for a $4.5 billion tax cut for their ultra-rich buddies.
