Trump Administration Planning To Strike Venezuela Imminently, Report Says Strikes could come within hours or days, according to the Miami Herald.

Trump administration is preparing to strike #Venezuela, report says.

The media is about to blitz us with stories about how awful Maduro is and I want you to remember that even if they're all true, they are being issued solely for the purpose of manufacturing consent for invading Venezuela and killing innocent people.

Trump Administration Admits It Doesn’t Know Who Exactly It’s Killing in Boat Strikes Officials acknowledged they don’t know the identities of the people they’re killing and can’t meet the evidentiary burden to prosecute survivors.

Looks like Trump’s “Department of War” is about to start sending missiles into Venezuela.

At this point they need to call it “Department of War Crimes”

one of my favorite things is when the subject of a piece threatens a journalist and the journalist responds by casually printing everything very matter of factly

“Epstein and Maxwell … from the start … manipulated me into participating in behaviors that ate away at me, eroding my ability to comprehend reality and preventing me from defending myself. From the start, I was groomed to be complicit in my own devastation.”

They literally ruin everything they touch

We saw actual video of ICE seizing an entire apartment building in Chicago

They arrested dozens of people-including citizens

And detained children after binding their hands with zip-ties

Yet, in Orwellian fashion, Kristi Noem tells us to reject the evidence of our eyes and ears

No there isn’t you Vichy bastards

So many own goals.
Once again: higher ed is one of our most successful exports. We export more higher ed to China than soybeans. And yet Trump and the mini-Trumps are deliberately destroying the quality of our product

CBS went to a military food pantry (those words, in order) to interview moms. 13% of military families rely on SNAP/WIC. When a military spouse of a deployed soldier on enlisted salary was asked if people should be surprised: “No they shouldn’t. We live in poverty just like everybody else.”

Shock Video Shows ICE Agent Assaulting Woman Who Asked If He’s A Good Christian Hundreds protested Tuesday at an ICE facility in southwest Colorado after agents detained two children on their way to school.

The videos of ICE agents lashing out like this always remind me of the statistics around police and domestic violence. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-ag...

Europe Needs a United Response to Russia’s Hybrid War Europe faces immense challenges in preparing for a possible war with Russia. It must rebuild hollowed-out armies, replenish weapons stockpiles and overhaul a fragmented defense industry ill-suited to modern warfighting. Clearly, it also needs better tools to wage a conflict that’s already underway: the Kremlin’s broadening campaign of hybrid, or “gray zone,” warfare.

The Kremlin's gray-zone attacks aim to divide Europe. Fighting back will require working more closely together (via Bloomberg Opinion)

On The Future of Nuclear Testing in America A strong and meaningful test ban would come at virtually no strategic cost since the US has so little to gain from renewed testing.

(8/n) As I’ve written before, there is little to no incentive for the US to return to full-scale nuclear testing and the costs of doing so FAR outweigh any potential technical benefit. The US would sacrifice its existing advantage and open the gates for adversaries to do the same.

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

The Tackiness of Evil More than a testament to his tastelessness, Trump’s demolition of the White House tells the American people: I can do whatever I want with the past.

Trump’s White House isn’t a Palladian temple; it’s a Mafia Don’s McMansion. Tackiness is the cultural logic of authoritarianism. That’s because the point of this art is hardly to elevate, but rather to dominate.

There are signs that Morgan is becoming a cause célèbre for neo-Nazis in the United States. The white supremacist Paul Miller, who gained notoriety for making hate-filled videos while wearing Nazi garb, said on social media that he was working to secure Morgan’s release and directed followers to a crowdfunding campaign that he said was from Morgan directly. “I am in contact with @GasChambers_,” Miller tweeted on Sunday, referring to an X account that says it has raised money for Morgan. “We are going to pay the bail for Kenneth in the next few days he will be free. Gaschamber was very kind and gracious. We just spoke on the phone. We are going to get kenneth out very soon.”

From an article about the man in the SS uniform arrested for attacking the woman in Georgia. Just wild that we've accepted that there's a huge social media platform where an account called "@GasChambers" is allowed to openly do Nazi fundraising and that's fine, in fact all the reporters post there.
