Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.
If you think Trump will stop with Venezuela, this is a test. He will do this to members of Congress and the Senate and do the same. Get his ass out NOW. This isn't about small countries and leaders. He will do it to the US leaders as well. Get him gone anyway possible.

Yesterday we visited Green Mountain Falls, CO to visit the kinetic sculpture Off the Beaten Path by Patrick Shearn. I wasn’t ready for just how dynamic it was even in the slightest breeze. Reminds me of a murmuration of starlings. Incredible artwork. It’ll only be up through October 19th.

So there appears to be solid evidence that the US presidential 2024 election was stolen, which is also likely in states such as PA ... but this NSA-sponsored evidence was "buried" ... what can be done to unbury it? thiswillhold.substack.com/p/ex-cia-whi...

Math doesn’t lie—people do. A buried NSA‑authorized audit paved the way for this unelected illegitimate regime.

The Trump regime is flagrantly violating the law and ignoring court orders and when a judge is sick of the bullshit and applies the law properly, she gets arrested. This is a fascist regime and anybody who doesn't acknowledge it at this point is either a liar, an ignorant idiot or a fellow fascist.
When you force people to foreign incarceration for the rest of their life without due process... that's not deportation. That's human trafficking. And it's not a prison. It's a concentration camp.
Rights of due process don't depend on our personal opinions of the accused. For example, I regard the January 6, 2021, criminals as insurrectionists and traitors - yet I am still glad that each and every one of them got a proper trial before they were convicted and sentenced.
AOC in Bakersfield, California: "By first going after activists such as these so that they can jail them for their speech, and then they will jail the rest of us for speaking up for immigrants, for speaking up for women's rights, for speaking up against this administration in any way shape or form"
“In 2012, in Arizona v United States, the highest court in the land ruled that “as a general rule, it is not a crime for a removable alien to remain in the United States”. Got that? Not. A. Crime.” From my new Guardian op-ed:

“There is no such thing as an ‘illegal immigrant’” My myth-busting piece for The Guardian today arguing that it is factually inaccurate & totally, utterly wrong to say that undocumented people are ‘illegal’ & are automatically ‘criminals’. I bring receipts:

BARBARIAN by Arthur Rimbaud Long after days and seasons pass, And the living have gone, and the land, A Banner of meat that bleeds Onto the silk of seas and arctic flowers; (they do not exist). Echoes of heroics, and the old fanfares That still attack us, head and heart - 1/2
