Yep & I'm not gonna go in a boat near VZ;) You can't get a visa though or it will cost a lot.

Do Not Travel to Venezuela for any reason and Avoid Venezuelan Borders with Colombia, Brazil, and Guyana.  - U.S. Embassy in Venezuela

Apparently Americans were no longer allowed to go to VZ by May of this year. I didn't even know that till just now. I have no desire to go there but I'm sure some people would like to go over the holidays, etc. Well, nope. There are literally no flights.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

MAGA said that Biden was too old and Kamala was too black, so they elected someone ‘young,’ vigorous, and orange.

Honduras election: Why has Trump threatened to cut off aid? US president backs right-wing presidential candidate Nasry Asfura; electoral council says vote a 'technical tie' so far.

WHY is Trump so invested in what happens in Honduras?
That doesn't sound very "America First." Does this have to do with Theil's dystopian experiment: Prospera? Was pardoning the drug cartel guy Hernandez for reasons OTHER than bribe $?

It appears that the air travel to VZ (from the US) is over. Did that happen the other day when he said he was closing the airspace? Did Trump say how long people won't be able to fly from the US to Venezuela? Isn't that hard for ppl who want to self-deport there or does ICE fly them?

Yes something seems fishy. I know it's obviously to boost the stock market. It doesn't apply to me but it sounds like the kind of thing MAGA would like.

It must be emphasised that the Trump administration has yet to produce a single scrap of evidence that these boats are running drugs. Taking account of that and the fact that he's just pardoned one of the biggest proven drug runners in the Americas, I wouldn't put money on their being any evidence.

SS (The maga account in question) From NBC News Trump administration, asking the Court of International Trade to consider all tariffs collected under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act unlawful. From @Peter Replying to @ss_scmb and @Costco You canceled your Costco membership because they want to sell you goods at a lower price. This is a prime example of MAGA stupidity. You sure owned them.

MAGA outraged that a corporation dare, to want to lower taxes on a customer, and make life more affordable for them.

I watched a little of it & didn't understand it. Are they giving each newborn kid a set amount of money or are they just opening an account? Is it funded by parents like a 529 college account? Why does something sound not right about this?

Candidates like End Citizens United endorsed @aftynbehn.bsky.social know that working families deserve a government that works for them, not billionaires and greedy corporations. That’s why they’ve signed on to Unrig Washington, a bold new standard for combating corruption. #ecuunrigwashington

The greed, hate and insanity seem exponentially worse than any president I've heard of in the last 100 years at least. Nixon was nowhere near as vicious, corrupt & psychotic as Trump.

"Nixon represents that dark, venal and incurably violent side of the American character almost every other country in the world has learned to fear and despise".

Hunter S Thompson - October 1973

This quote sums up Trump just as perfectly as it summed up Richard Nixon 52 years ago. Pure evil.

“The damage is adding up but so is the reality of what the world is facing. My hunch is any sort of land invasion or bombing of Venezuela may appear as a crossing of a rubicon of that will force more of our allies to reassess the threat Trump poses to the world.”

Where Can I Run by Run for Something Take the next step: Look up offices you can run for

2026 is going to be a *great* year to run for office. @runforsomething.net will help you. Filing deadlines are coming up fast - it's just barely not too late to get started. runforwhat.net

We're the only wealthy country that's allowed propaganda to cook the brains of the 1/2 the pop. How do you fix GenZ's perceptions who've heard nothing but lies their entire lives? Their adolescence/young adulthood were framed by the ever-present Trump for the last 9 years. It's normalized crazy.

You don’t have to be a healthcare professional to see that Trump is horrifyingly impaired.

Only in a government as beset by corruption and incompetence as ours could he remain in office another moment.

The malignant narcissism and sociopathy in conjunction with dementia is truly awful.

Trump Frees Fraudster Just Days Into Seven-Year Prison Sentence

Americans are facing rising costs of everything from electricity to healthcare. Meanwhile, Trump spends his time overseeing ballroom construction & pardoning convicted cop killers, cartel leaders, & billionaire scammers. This level of corruption is unparalleled.

Tennessee, vote for this lady. Imagine a world with even a single consequence for fascism.

omg, this is going to get so much worse.

I hate it here.

The irony is the predators doing the arresting are much scarier than their prey.

Maybe ppl who don't care about the cruelty will care if they bankrupt the US.
