Stop calling the US-Venezuela oil exchange a "deal". It's a total theft. Trump kidnapped their head of state, and the leveraged the might of American military to capture and steal Venezuelan oil exports. So Venezuelans continue to suffer, not to mention the people of Cuba that this theft affects.

Darkness Falls

I woke Monday morning, a bleary glance at my phone to check the time and make sure I didn’t oversleep. The time was fine, but then I noticed a ton of missed calls. “EMERGENCY, call me A…
