"Mr. Trump has not yet offered a coherent explanation for his actions in Venezuela."
That brain-addled d-bag has not yet offered a coherent sentence during his entire presidency.
So I'll offer a coherent explanation for him: He bombed and destabilized a country to distract from his (and his friends') involvement in the Epstein files.
I say turnabout is fair play, and eagerly await New Zealand or Canada kidnapping T-bag and running our country until a better leader can be elected.
The International Congress of Mathematicians (#ICM) decided not to meet in #Russia in 2022, for a list of reasons including Russa's "war of aggression in #Ukraine and the potential dangers…in regards to freedom of political expression and the safety of #LGBTQ participants." Now some ICM members have launched a petition asking it not to meet in the US in 2026, for a list of reasons including US aggression in #Gaza, #Greenland, #Iran, and #Venezuela, and "serious concern that academics (or anyone) traveling to the US may be denied entry."

The Republican culture wars in Texas will soon turn the state into the Forbidden Zone from Planet of the Apes.
Physicians are leaving. Women are leaving. Businesses are leaving. Teachers are leaving at a rate that’s 25% higher than that of other states.
You break it, you bought it.

Retiring Congressman Steve Cohen (Tennessee's only Democrat in Congress) introduces six articles of impeachment against Chief Justice John Roberts.

I was just watching a YouTube video with I presume auto-generated captions, and the speaker said "the world doesn't trust the US" but the caption read "the world doesn't trust the AI".

I think Hegseth quoting fake bible passages from Pulp Fiction, presumably because he doesn't know they're made up, perfectly illustrates the role of religion in right wing extremist politics. It's a tool to control the masses. Nothing more.
In that respect, I am in 100% agreement with the pope.
I'm an atheist, but I grew up in a Christian community. US and Israeli violence is not in line with the core message. (Although there are people in my old community who supports them.)
Every time I criticize Republicans, they call me liberal. Criticize Democrats, they call me MAGA. Politics isn’t red vs blue, it’s class. Both parties lie about immigration, wages, healthcare, and culture wars to keep us divided while the billionaires get richer. “Socialist” and “communist” are demonized so you never question the system. This isn’t a Democrat vs Republican fight. It’s a class struggle, and that’s why I’m a socialist. #socialism #uspol
Unity like we’ve never seen before. This Saturday, a day of action by the Democratic Socialists of America, Party for Socialism and Liberation, with some Communist Party USA chapters joining in. Truly unprecedented times. #venezuela #uspol #freemaduro #maduro #DSA

Listen. The Scandinavian people are generally nice and quiet. But I would recommend not to push us. Respectfully.
THIS is what a domestic terrorist looks like, it's called a "Kristi Noem" AKA #ICE Barbie
It's 625am here, I'm on holiday, I'm pre-coffee, and I've already made my latest round of calls to all 3 of my reps in congress, demanding impeachment of Trump, Hegseth, and Rubio, and that they stop cooperating with this regime.
You a US citizen or resident? Doing this is the bare minimum.
The calls get easier with practice, and I know legislative staffers: calls matter!
What else can we do NOW and over the long term? What leverage do we have? 🧵👇🏻 #USPol

#USPol - 5/3/26 (27th day calling)
I left messages at all the offices of Rep. Elise Stefanik (R, NY), requesting she impeaches Trump for starting an unprovoked war in Iran, to stop arming Israel, and allow aid into Gaza. (I won't be able to call tomorrow.)
I post for accountability, to compound my emotional benefit, & let my online neighbors see that I care.
For informed levity, I recommend this YT channel of AM & PM global news shorts (below is for this AM):
