Paul Singer, whose firm owns the US subsidiary of Venezuela's state-owned oil company, spent millions in 2024 to re-elect Trump.

Now, after Trump's invasion of Venezuela on behalf of Big Oil, he's set to cash in on his investment.

A government of, by, and for the billionaires.

This will have global ramifications with an increase in disease and anti vax sentiment (which already surged during peak COVID and has seen childhood imms rates drop).

Also if you're going to give medal advice, learn how to spell hepatitis you fucking buffoon.

Maduro was a brutal ruler, it’s true. So is Putin—who Trump supports. So was Bolsonaro, who Trump supports. So was the drug-trafficking former head of Honduras, who Trump just pardoned. So is Nayib Bukele in El Salvador. MBS. Bibi.

Stop pretending Trump cares about illegitimacy or brutality.

Caracas is under fire. Multiple U.S. strikes have hit key military sites: Fuerte Tiuna, La Carlota airbase, and a communications center in El Hatillo. Explosions echo through the capital, the power is out in parts of the city, and U.S. helicopters are flying low. Fires also rage near La Guaira.

I think this administration has vastly overestimated the rest of the world's willingness to put up with imperial oil war bullshit right now. I don't think this ends well. No war.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.

I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?

Another Catholic Church cover-up of abuse allegations.

They've learned nothing.

They've changed nothing.

When do they, as one of the nations largest property owners and employers, get held to account?
🚨The Catholic Church has failed to notify police of abuse allegations against one of its most senior figures – despite claiming to have done so over a week ago.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

It was certainly much easier for politicians to trick their citizens about wars - when we didn't have independent and social media - and they could control the channels where we receive our information. Now we're in control - and can see exactly what's going on #auspol

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller

"Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."

The road to fascism is paved with "objectivity" and "civility."
