No, Venezuela Is Not a ‘Small Latin American Country’
And talk of a quick invasion and easy ‘regime change’ is dangerously misleading.

I had the good fortune of sharing a breakfast table with him at a tech industry event in Seattle some years back. Sharp, classy, kind, and an attentive listener. He was a good one.

🚨🚨🚨SILVER ALERT for the SHREVEPORT AREA🚨🚨🚨
My brother Mike (pictured below) has been wandering the streets for days now. He keeps trying to hold pretend press conferences but then insists he doesn't know anything about anything. It's very sad!
If you have seen him, please let our family know!

Ugh. The right wing bullshit machine is pumping out and amplifying fake videos (Sora, AI) of Black people talking about SNAP benefits, videos oozing with racist stereotypes, to justify / distract from the real human suffering that the SNAP suspension is going to cause. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMqbgpgj/

Please understand that the Trump regime is dehumanizing Democrats the same way the Nazis dehumanized Jews. Trump is laying the groundwork to arrest, imprison and even kill us. History is warning us that is where we are heading.

Stay Weird Portland! 🔥 Today Portland had an emergency naked bike ride to the ICE facility. IN THE RAIN.
It was around 50°. Thousands were fully nude, half nude, or wearing costumes.
Portland is VERY dedicated to exposing the absurdities of injustice.
Here are some photos & videos. 🧵👇🏼

KATU TV, a Sinclair-owned Portland station, has started broadcasting a livestream of the ICE building to let viewers decide if what is happening warrants a military presence.
I just turned on the livestream and this is what I saw.

If Jimmy Kimmel gets suspended for mild comments about Tyler Robinson leaning MAGA, something not even off-base, why does Brian Kilmeade still have a job after suggesting murder? I’m not letting go of this. It’s the clearest example of the current disproportionate hypocrisy.

From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!)

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.
