World leaders urge US to treat Venezuelan oil humanely
"We will be monitoring this delicate situation to make sure there is no unnecessary loss of innocent oil” chaser.com.au/world/ally-l...
Kidnapping the leader of a foreign state without any declaration of war and announcing it via social media is full-on rogue state stuff. From the world’s number one superpower.
Leavitt: “Venezuela should have known better than to walk through this neighborhood wearing that much oil.“
Americans should have known when their ‘President of Peace’ gave himself a War Department. No Congressional approval, nothing… Trump has turned the US into a lawless rogue state.
In unrelated news, I’m sure, Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world, far ahead of Saudi Arabia and Canada.
This is my cyclical reminder that there's really only one consistently reliable source of info in the public record that isn't owned by right wing billionaires, who really want to put an end to it.
Please give at least the $2.75 minimum they request if you can.

‘Black’ isn’t the original main English word for this colour.
In Old English, that was ‘sweart’. It’s the ancestor of ‘swart’, the now archaic cognate of German ‘schwarz’, Dutch ‘zwart’, and Swedish ‘svart’.
‘Black’ gradually displaced ‘swart’ during the late Middle Ages.

So... they are going to ban the Portuguese celebrations in the Plateau? The Italian processions in the Little Italy ? No, because those are catholic ? thought so... It's like they are not even trying anymore
“Forget about intelligence” is a pretty good mantra for this administration
Is THIS why I've been seeing stories about how Rick Moranis is a really nice guy — who bowed out of showbiz for selfless reasons that may no longer apply — for a month now??
A comics page in black and white. Arranged in 5 tiers of panels, each with successively smaller panels and more per row - with the exception of the first. Opens with no panel border - silhouette of a hand in a gun position - with smoke coming from index finger. speech balloon “i could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn’t lose any voters, ok?” Caption “this is perhaps the most truthful thing trump has ever said…” Same row - more than half page width panel with three drawings of trump making jerky body distortions mocking cerebral palsy. Caption “one might’ve assumed when he mocked reporter serge kovaleski that it would cross a line and be the end of him in public life.” Speech balloon “now the poor guy, you ought to see this guy!” Caption “that was naive.” Next row, first panel, slightly more than page width - closeup on trump’s open mouth, shouting “when you’re a star, they let you do it. you can do anything. Grab ‘em by the pussy. you can do anything.” Caption “surely, there’d be no coming back from this?” Second panel - silhouettes of tiki torch carrying rioters with their shirt collars showing. Caption “or this?” Dialogue “you also had some very fine people on both sides.” Caption “and yet…” Third row - three panels, first slightly more than a third, rest smaller still. Silhouette of trump throwing a paper towel roll like shooting a basketball. Dialogue “a great day…” Caption “c’mon…”. Second panel closeup on his lips, dialogue “why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” Caption “really?” Third panel closeup on a coiled-style phone cord, dialogue “i would like you to do us a favor, though.” In background words from the first articles of impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors. Dialogue “the call with ukraine was perfect, with “no pressure.” full alt-text on my site at the link
I made a comic on how we got here & trump/supporters - collecting things he's said that would seem to have been over the line - and how that never seems to be the case is the real problem...

“Heat and water destroy capital. Flooded homes lose value. Overheated cities become uninhabitable. Entire asset classes are degrading in real time.”
this is a good post and "decadence" is a good way to think about a lot of things. true decadence is, eg, thinking you could let an insurrection go unpunished and the country would just keep chugging along nbd

Mathieu Bock-Côté est une arnaque. Gênant pour l’ensemble des québécois.
The largest purchaser of wine is the Liquor Control Board of Ontario.
The shelves of Kentucky whiskey, American beer and California wine are now empty.
The LCOBO was doing a brisk business - good news for Canadian, French, Spanish, Australian, Chilean.
Sucks for Kentucky and California.
La belle ville de Québec. La ville est magique en hiver.
Quebec City is a magical place. Its people are so welcoming.
But they do have basic standards.
Le maire de Hampstead s’est surpassé dans ses dérapages ces derniers jours, estimant de bon goût de faire de l’humour sur le thème du nettoyage ethnique et la déportation de 2 millions de civils palestiniens.
Comment un élu peut-il dire pareilles choses en toute impunité ? 👇🏽

The most important thing I can tell everyone that I've learned from being a YouTuber who explains how stuff works is that each and every time I thought "this is common knowledge and doesn't need to be explained" I was wrong.
This is so good.
Oh yeah!

La France a "bel et bien mené la guerre" à la fin des années 50 contre les indépendantistes au Cameroun, marquée par des "violences extrêmes", selon un rapport d'historiens français et camerounais sur le rôle de Paris avant et après l'indépendance du pays.
Il y a 8 ans, un attentat islamophobe a tué six personnes et en a gravement blessé une autre à la grande mosquée de Québec. Ce drame reste gravé dans nos mémoires.
Luttons contre l'islamophobie et la haine et défendons la paix, la solidarité et l’ouverture.
Free speech, baby!
