People on board the boat were said to have survived an initial strike and were killed in a follow-up attack. Officials said the boat appeared to have turned back toward shore. Three sources, including Sen. Rand Paul said the boat was attacked by one or more drones.

For the poor in Venezuela, crypto is a makeshift opportunity for survival. For the rich, it's a tool for making quick profits and side-stepping sanctions.

Today lecturing about the Expulsion of the Jews in 1492. In other years, students pointed out how cruel it was to give people three months to sell their possessions and leave Castile and Aragon. How is that going down now that US is grabbing people in the street and deporting them to foreign gulags?

"The cruel irony here is that a military operation applauded by Venezuelan immigrants in hopes of freeing their country from Nicolás Maduro is more likely to free Donald Trump to deport them from the U.S., without the benefits of due process."

@dsmilde.bsky.social right on point, as usual.

On the US threats off #Venezuela
´having warships off the coast of Venezuela, presumably to fight off Cartel de los Soles and its supposed operational arm, the Tren de Aragua, from “flooding the U.S. with drugs,” could pass muster for a “military conflict.”´
