Big arms sale to Israel announced, including nearly $4 billion worth of attack helicopters.

The Feds never left Los Angeles. Don’t forget us. Solidarity with Minneapolis and all communities under siege by federal pigs.

Keep fighting. Hold the line.

To their credit, @nolympicsla.bsky.social has been clear-eyed from the very beginning that sports mega-events like the Olympics embolden & further empower ICE. It's right there in one of their logos.

And the feds will be here & in charge of “security” over the city for the next 2+ years due to Olympics.

it's beautiful watching others on our homeland realize no one is coming to save them, either.

it's us. we will save us. YOU will save us. we can do this. together.

Activist arrested on-camera in Grand Rapids, Michigan while summarizing the reasoning behind a peaceful protest against the U.S. government’s kidnapping of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro held earlier that day.

Frustrating hearing “nobody cares” and “Americans are so disengaged”. It’s a disservice to the many, many activists and orgs who are indeed fighting to make things better. Immediate drastic change would be nice, but it’s the consistent work that actually builds longterm change. Help do that work.

this is why you must always oppose every act an imperialist country does, because then they’ll soon come for everyone

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

This explains why the op-ed was ready to go

We should be all extremely concerned that Gaza and the West Bank has fallen off the news agenda.

Since the so called ceasefire Israel has killed 1000 Palestinians and banned over 30 well respected humanitarian orgs. Gaza is also grappling with flooding, high winds & extreme cold.

Every president has done this, though none so brazenly. Things are getting worse AND getting uncovered, not either/or. Our response cannot be to wait around for Congress or the Glorious Revolution to appear from nowhere; we must change how we live every day.

If we want change, WE have to change.

In the past week, the Trump-Vance admin:
–Bombed Nigeria
–Bombed Venezuela, abducted its leader
–Bombed more ships in the middle of the ocean
–Threatened military action in Iran, Colombia, and Cuba
–Accepted the “Israel Prize” & hosted Netanyahu in Mar-a-Lago (despite his soldiers killing Americans)

Special Report on Venezuela: U.S. Kidnaps Maduro, Trump Says “We Are Going to Run” Oil-Rich Nation

Preparing myself for the majority of Dems to talk about disagreeing with the process but agreeing with the outcome, shrugging and moving on

Can’t wait for all the strongly worded statements from the Democrats.

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather.

“No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!”

“No boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”

Im in my late 40s, and im just flashing back to every ‘justified’ regime change and invasion for decades, every ‘weapons of mass destruction’ lie, every ‘evil communists’ trope bought and sold by politicians, journalists and people, and all the incredible suffering that followed

Screaming "wtf" and waiting for a spontaneous uprising is going to discourage you. There won't be a spontaneous uprising. That's just not where the people are at.

Organize for the long term. Build community. Build resilience. Have a strategy for whatever corner of this thing you're working on.

A Criminal Empire The United States launches a conquest and occupation of Venezuela to extract its oil wealth. The neocon dream is the America First dream

The kidnapping of Maduro inaugurates a highly dangerous era of U.S. empire that for perhaps the first time in an era of mass media is not pretending to be anything other than a violent, extractive enterprise of domination.

US imperialism is the greatest threat to peace and security in our world today and it's not even close.

Overthrowing the government of Iran and installing the shah led to the Iranian revolution and the Ayatollah. Funding the Mujahideen in Afghanistan led to the taliban and Al queda. These unlawful actions could have destabilizing consequences for decades and this will haunt the US for generations.

I think it’s time for us as US citizens to take action into our own hands and accept that majority of these politicians are not our saviors. Regardless of their political party.

Democracy is dead and no one is coming to save us. When the fuck are we going to save ourselves?

Just saying out loud that I remember this morning when they were saying that they weren’t going to do anything besides the Maduro kidnapping

Before they announced they were also going to run the entire country

I remember a few hours ago
