At this point, we need regional and city-based general strikes. We need labor militancy tied to sustained protests because voting is far away and won’t solve shit. These are extrajudicial killings by right-wing paramilitaries full stop.

Bush Walked So Trump Could Run Into Venezuela - The American Prospect
George W. Bush’s foreign policy wasn’t an aberration, but it was the moment where America began to drunkenly bumble its way through unipolarity.
Bush’s post-9/11 foreign policy shifted America away from commitments to international law and toward unipolarity—a precedent that Trump has embraced with open arms in Venezuela. From Grant Morgan:

Trump is following in Bush’s footsteps in Venezuela. “Trump has followed the Bush Iraq playbook almost perfectly, and with great speed. Trump has used Bush-era classics to justify the war.” From Grant Morgan:

So we’re running the country, taking control of their oil industry, and not setting any long-term goals or expectations for a transitional government. Good fucking luck.

Watching CNN rn. Holy shit man. No talk of this action being illegal. No mention of this being overreach. People gushing over the effectiveness of the operation. Anti-war positions are nowhere to be seen. Total fucking bullshit.

International relations person here: Rapid regime change in a large country being followed immediately with talks of protecting their oil is gonna result in so much bloodshed. It’s a fucking repeat of Iraq but this time it’s a Leroy Jenkins speed run. Fucking disgraceful.

We’ve literally learned nothing from Iraq. It’s incredible really. All the talk of based realism and restraint that’s been brewing in DC media circles is seemingly just total bullshit. Dick Cheney ( in hell) is loving this shit.

I think it’s hilarious that even from a design perspective Cybertrucks still suck. They can’t do truck shit, they fall apart easily, and they don’t even look cool. All around great effort to make the world’s shittiest PS2-mobile.

I, for one, think it’s really cool that 3 rich people own everything I have ever known and loved before.
