This is much more significant than a naval blockade. It violates a Venezuela's sovereign airspace. A commercial no-fly zone instituted by the US is an invasion and declaration of war.

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.
He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.
Release the transcript.

It’s crazy that the President understands health care so little that he thinks this even approaches the already low “concepts of a plan” bar.
Trump: "THE ONLY HEALTHCARE I'LL SUPPORT OR APPROVE IS SENDING MONEY DIRECTLY BACK TO THE PEOPLE W/ NOTHING GOING TO THE BIG, FAT, RICH INSURANCE COMPANIES, WHO HAVE RIPPED OFF AMERICA LONG ENOUGH. THE PEOPLE WILL BE ALLOWED TO NEGOTIATE & BUY THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, INSURANCE. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!"

Leger Fernandez: They’re going to get a million dollars because you were related to or somehow connected with conspirators? And that’s what people should be outraged about — they are treating themselves to the trough of corruption that Trump is laying out.

Trump doesn’t have to call on House Republican to vote to release the file.
Trump can order Bondi and Patel to release the files. Tomorrow.
The question is, has he already ordered Bondi and Patel to destroy some of the files after they went through them months ago.

🔥🔥🔥This is the trailer to my film “True Believers At The Insurrection” it’s my first film (at 80) I didn’t think I could do it. But I did. When we walk thru the fear, anything is possible. I could not have done it without the support of old twitter. So grateful to those who helped

I found this a really illuminating thread on what demonstrations do and why they matter.
In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.
