“Sec Rubio🚨said a military quarantine of #Venezuela & its oil industry would remain in place.🚨The death toll from the raid to capture Maduro rose to 80.”
Nearly💔200 Venezuelans are dead because of the #TrumpRegime’s #IllegalWar on #Venezuela, ~107 killed from the #BoatStrikes & 80 from the Jan 3rd attack. Capturing #Maduro was certainly not bloodless, in fact many civilians were slaughtered.

We risk losing our collective visual history. It's bad enough that you can't trust any new image made today, now we're also entering an era where we can't trust anything from the past, either, unless we pull it directly from an archival source before 2025.

A planned Christmas Eve jazz concert at the Kennedy Center has been canceled. Musician Chuck Redd, the show's host, says he called off the performance after the White House announced President Donald Trump's name would be added to the facility. The building's facade now reads The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts. Scholars say this violates the law. The law prohibits the board from making the center a memorial to anyone else. Numerous artists have canceled performances since Trump returned to office, including Issa Rae and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
I'm starting to feel like, for the GOP, pedophilia is less a bug and more of a feature.
Six congressional Democrats released a video advising members of the U.S. military to “refuse illegal orders.” Trump posted this was sedition punishable by death.
This week, news reports have alleged that the U.S. military carried out a strike to kill two survivors of an initial missile strike on a boat in the Caribbean.
Fun fact: Firing on shipwrecked survivors is *specifically* called out as an illegal order that service members must refuse.
