this feels like a turning point

More than 1,000 demonstrations are slated for Saturday and Sunday after federal immigration agents shot three people, killing one, in the past week.
Three things can be true at once:
1) Maduro was a horrible dictator and Venezuela benefits from removing him
2) Supporting the US illegally kidnapping leaders for regime change is a bad idea
3) Spheres of influence hurt small countries and we should not want that
Absolutely no word of the celebratory mood many millions of Venezuelans feel. I have no defense of Trump. I wish him the worse in Karma, but we most note that the situation is complex. Those headlines don’t hint at that - they sow the same sentiment that’s created polarization. Not dialogue.
Can a plan be revealed but not the details of the plan? I’m surprised anyone was surprised about this ‘invasion’ when the prep had been happening in plain sight. So perhaps news orgs should have reported on it?
“.. I can’t remember anyone ever telling me we can’t say anything critical about a civilian like this. He was not in our chain of command or anything,” the officer said.

Jesse Waters needs to be fired TODAY!
Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.
"It can't happen here" - a great number of people in official, important positions as they're watching it happen here www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-isnt...
Three uniformed Border Patrol agents standing at the corner of 7th & H St. N.W., near an entrance of the Gallery Place/Chinatown Metro station.
Two uniformed Homeland Security Investigations agents patrolling a sidewalk in the Chinatown neighborhood of D.C.
Department of Homeland Security agents, loitering around a nightlife district in D.C. as part of a presidential show of force? More proof of the need to unwind the entire department.
I love this story.
This is insane. You can only be on board with these comments if you in fact believe in this racist bull shit. It’s not some verbal gymnastics. This is plain, 4th grade level language that is saying what exactly he means.
Don’t try to decipher. At this point you are with or your against.
Tonight the Senate GOP is expected to confirm Emil Bove to one of the highest courts in the nation—despite 3 whistleblowers saying he pushed the DOJ to ignore court orders.
when I really hate having to look at the news and work all the time for The Weekly List. But it just became that much more important. Ugh.

So how many days until that Iran war starts? He really needs that distraction.
Sitting US Senator Alex Padilla forcibly wrestled to the ground and arrested by the FBI for attempting to ask a question of DHS secretary Kristin Noem.
Is there any more pathetic ad exec than Yaccarino? When this wheel turns, as it inevitably will, she will never work in the industry again.
ICE crossed a line in LA
Government watchdogs muzzled. Support for veterans: MIA. Prices are rising.
It's mourning again in Elon Musk's America.
It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.
We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.
The economy is in free fall.
The markets are collapsing.
Our soldiers are dying.
Our sensitive information is being leaked over text message and gmail.
Random people are being kidnapped and sent to foreign torture prisons.
And Trump is fucking golfing.
Have been feeling like this for years now. There is so much apathy even now. There’s more interest in TikTok being banned than the destruction of the country.
THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️
Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines.
He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.
The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.
CNBC anchor on Trump’s tariffs: “This… is worse than the worst-case scenario.”
There was zero reason for these tariffs—we’re not at war, the economy wasn’t struggling and we had strong trade partners. This is economic sabotage, plain & simple. Folks on the right not to stop pretending he’s helping.
It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.
Congratulations to all the people who voted for Trump because they thought he’d be good for the economy
