briefly popping in to say the reason we aren’t seeing mass movement in response to the united states kidnapping the (dictatorial) leader of a sovereign nation is the same reason why the united states feels emboldened to kidnap the leader of a sovereign nation

Trump's Venezuela Attack: It’s All About the Oil, Stupid! Here are five times Donald Trump himself admitted that illegally attacking Venezuela and toppling Nicolás Maduro was aimed at seizing the country’s massive oil reserves.

In his 2019 memoir The Threat, former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe quotes first-term Trump saying Venezuela was “the country we should be going to war with, they have all that oil and they’re right on our back door.”

we have not "apprehended" the president of venezuela. we have invaded a foreign country and kidnapped its leader. what the fuck are we doing here, i am going to lose my mind

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Video from the port city of La Guaira shows the aftermath of explosions that took place across Venezuela on early Saturday morning. President Maduro has declared a state of emergency after accusing the US of striking the country.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.

I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.

Ministers may cut green tech mandate from new homes regulations in England Critics say removing battery installation requirement will reduce amount homebuyers save on energy bills

“Housing developers in this country have a track record of pushing back against requirements that enhance energy performance of homes. We have seen this with insulation, heat pumps and other technologies. Ultimately, it will be to the detriment of the homebuyer.”

please be critical of even your favorite politicians. democracy can only function if we are constantly demanding better.

they’re going to want to kill him for this but he’s so right, individualism as an ideology needs to end

Admissions to Humanities and Social Science PhD Programs Suspended at Boston University Boston University has not officially announced the change nor has it fully explained the implications on applicants and existing programs.

So the graduate student union won a new contract and the school immediately cut graduate student entries into humanities and social science sectors. Sick.

Audiobooks are life-changing cause instead of wasting an hour cooking food im listening to an audiobook and just so happen to be cooking at the same time

Reading documents on no-fault divorce and learned J.D. Vance has been an advocate for removing it. We're in for one hell of a presidential term folks

I'm also scared that violence against trans people will cause a wave of detransitions to avoid being killed by a psychopath. Trans people are already unjustifiably targeted as is. But if there is a wave of detransistions for safety concerns, I imagine it'll be used as "trans bad" propaganda

The Supreme Court is also fucked completely. If two of them retire in the next 4 years like expected, the next 40 will be hell with a maxed out republican Supreme Court. If dems ever play politics again and win a presidency, they could add more Supreme Court seats, but I don't have high hopes.

And this includes the tens of millions of immigrants already here that literally keep our economy running and social security afloat. Because they not only pay taxes but can't draw any benefits from them. They've been paying into our taxes for nothing in return, and now we're throwing them out

Not to mention we're literally creating mass hysteria over immigrant problems that don't exist. Meaning that every single person from a smaller nation that has to flee due to climate change can't even go to the Imperial core for safety because we're such a racist ass country.

So it's literally only going to get much worse. I truly can't imagine what it will be like in ~40 years when what Trump is about to deregulate manifests. But by then, who knows what diseases would have spread by shifting climates or what crops are literally ungrowable.

Just a bit of a rant here, but most people in the US don't understand that climate change will ruin the way we live long before it destroys the land beneath our feet like in Florida or North Carolina. Not to mention that what we're experiencing now is most likely due to emissions in the 80s/90s

Jamelle Bouie is my giga-lib north star, but he made a great point that between Nixon and now, we've been in a steep decline under neoliberalism. But after yesterday, this will be the start of a whole new type of hell we've never experienced before

Tintin strikes again.

I'm never going to have a better use for this meme.

Do not obey in advance. Resist. Do not offer an oppressive government what it wants. Do not anticipate its needs and offer up what you think it wants. To do so teaches power what it can do.

The only grocery store in my town is walmart and they've been systematically removing all non-namebrand foods I eat and replacing them with walmart brand alternatives that use shit quality ingredients for the same price

Gotta cook a healthy meal and go for a walk today. Seasonal depression might win this year if we don't take precautions and bit early this time around.
