Some thoughts on what Trump has done in Venezuela and what it might mean for US national security. Caveat: not a Latin America scholar so this is focused on US policy. Clearly huge consequences for Venezuela that others can address. First, despite the buildup, I didn't think Trump would do it. 1/

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression

The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

This is important. The first 24 hours of press coverage fumbled the ball. But the US just murdered 11 people in international waters. Analogies to the US’s (highly suspect, morally and legally) targeted killings of suspect terrorists don’t work. This crossed their own lines, and they know it.

Ryan Goodman@rgoodlaw.bsky.social · 11mo ago

1/ I worked at DoD. I literally cannot imagine lawyers coming up with a legal basis for lethal strike of suspected Venezuelan drug boat. Hard to see how this would not be "murder" or war crime under international law that DoD considers applicable. Read expert analysis by @bcfinucane.bsky.social⤵️

I'm teaching intro to IR (last minute substitute teacher right here) and today a student asked for great IR podcasts. Can someone point me to the place where this has already been discussed and decided? I do not listen except for special occasions because of my schedule.

Susan Hyde@sdhyde.bsky.social · 11mo ago

For those who don't follow this on the regular: this is bad for literally everyone. In the short term there might be a few very specific winners. But in the medium and long term this is going to have lasting consequences that can't be "undone" at the next election.

They're now saying it out loud: The Administration's goal is to undo the political independence that Congress granted the Fed, so that the President can directly set rates.

Vance on undermining the Federal Reserve: "I don't think we allow  bureaucrats to make decisions about monetary policy and interest rates without any input from the people that were elected to serve the American people...POTUS is much better able to make these determinations."

Absolutely shameful. Afghans promised a home in U.S. may face repatriation — and the Taliban Afghans who helped American forces are stuck in limbo as the Trump administration cuts the State Department office for Afghan relocation. We're talking upwards of 250k Afghans here.

Ominous: "even people not yet within the administration’s direct sightlines are becoming worried about speaking freely" This is why it's so important for people of conscience to speak out. Resistance to authoritarianism is a coordination game.

The vote failed on a 49-49 tie. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat, was in Korea for an ocean conference. Mitch McConnell, who also supported the measure, also missed the vote.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.gov · last yr.

Later today the Senate will vote on my bipartisan legislation to end Trump’s tariffs. This has a real chance of passing. I encourage everyone to make your voices heard with your Senators if you feel strongly about this issue. I’ll be working to get it across the finish line. More soon.

If we know where they were sent, but it isn’t to detention: exile. If we know where they are & it’s in detention: extraordinary rendition. If we don’t know where they are, but we know someone’s holding them: kidnapping. Otherwise, if we don’t know where they are: disappearance.

Mehdi Hasan@mehdirhasan.bsky.social · last yr.

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?
