⭕️ New: Venezuela’s interior minister Diosdado Cabello, a central figure in the country’s security and intelligence apparatus, is calling for resistance and mobilization following the U.S. operation that seized Nicolás Maduro. According to the Miami Herald, Diosdado Cabello has sent voice messages to loyal military officers and ruling-party figures, calling for unity, reorganization, and mass mobilization in defense of the government, saying those responsible for the U.S. raid “will regret it for the rest of their lives.” As the messages circulated, armed pro-government paramilitary groups known as colectivos set up checkpoints and patrols across Caracas, stopping people to check identification and mobile phones. The moves underscore mounting uncertainty over whether the post-Maduro government, now led by interim President Delcy Rodríguez, can resist Washington’s designs and military pressure. Diosdado Cabello, who is wanted by U.S. authorities and accused by federal prosecutors of leading the so-called Cartel of the Suns, leads large parts of Venezuela’s security, intelligence, and armed civilian apparatus and is viewed in Washington as a potential spoiler to any regime-change transition, the Herald reports. The U.S. government also offers a $25 million reward for information leading to his capture. Some of Cabello’s messages yesterday are linked in the posts below.

New — I wrote about how corporate media is immediately siding with power in the wake of Trump attacking Venezuela and capturing Maduro, and how journalists need to treat the administration as a hostile entity that’s openly lying to them.
Call Trump's power grab in Venezuela what it is
Corporate media must recognize they're being openly lied to—and report accordingly.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

I appreciate Stephen Miller going on TV and giving unhinged rants that offer absolutely no justification for occupying Venezuela or taking any other country other than, "We should have it & we want it." Let what little mask remains slip off of this deranged, fascist, Veruca Salt-ass administration.

What is going to follow from me is a number of posts regarding someone I have admired and listened to for a long time. Some of you will know of her already. Every now and again, I urge others to pay attention to Fiona Hill.

And every so often, I look to see if she has a Bluesky account. Not yet.
Fiona Hill, former Russia and Europe adviser to the White House who testified during Donald Trump's impeachment hearing. Text across the image states: The Russian government was "signalling very strongly that they wanted to somehow make some very strange swap agreement between Venezuela and Ukraine."

Hours before Maduro’s first court appearance on federal criminal charges, a senior Justice Department official amplified a post speculating that the Venezuelan dictator would try to plead to lesser charges by proffering “evidence” that the 2020 U.S. election was stolen.

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

I have no opinions about whether Gov Walz should have run for a third term, but agree w this thread that it's really bad for our democracy that Nick Shirley and the rest of the GOP outrage machine are facing no opposition and notching one win after another.
parkermolloy.com Parker Molloy @parkermolloy.com · 3d
This is the "testing the waters" phase of the playbook. The GOP ecosystem targets groups like Somalis, Haitians, and trans people specifically because they've calculated that the average person's passive disapproval won't ever turn into active defense. They're exploiting public apathy.

During Tim Walz’s second term, Minnesota Democrats passed numerous democracy reforms, including:

• A state Voting Rights Act
• Automatic voter registration
• Restoring voting rights after prison for tens of thousands of people
• The National Popular Vote Compact
• Expanded early voting, and more

Love this from Guillermo del Toro
“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

Really, a remarkable statement from Colombia’s President.
I don’t know if Maduro is good or bad, not even if he’s a drug trafficker; in the files of the Colombian justice system, after half a century of dealing with the biggest cocaine mafias, the names of Nicolás Maduro or Cilia Flores don’t appear. Those who have come forward to denounce him are Venezuelan opposition generals, nothing more, seeking to topple the popular vote. The judicial power in Colombia doesn’t belong to me; it’s independent of me, and my opposition largely handles it. If one wants to know about the mafia and the business of cocaine commercialization, just look at Colombia’s judicial files. That’s why I deeply reject Trump speaking without knowing; my name doesn’t appear in the judicial files on drug trafficking over 50 years, neither from before nor from the present. Stop slandering me, Mr. Trump. That’s not how you threaten a Latin American president who emerged from the armed struggle and then from the people of Colombia’s fight for Peace. I was part of the clandestine organization that fought for democracy in Colombia against the civil dictatorship of the "State of Emergency." The organization that in 1974, long before Chávez, carried out the operation to raise Bolívar’s sword once more, who said he would never sheathe it until injustice ended in Gran Colombia. I was with the M19 that made the first peace in contemporary Latin America. He doesn’t read Colombia’s history, and that’s why he fails when he criticizes us. He should only meet with his officers who are experts in drug investigations in Colombia, whom I’ve helped with my own investigations as a senator of the Republic from Colombia’s Left and its people, who have suffered the narco genocide and its political allies, who are also allies of the American far right. Tens of thousands of our comrades from the armed and popular struggle for democracy were assassinated, and we didn’t go begging you for invasions; we endured and won through Peace. I’ve never burned a U.S. flag because I’ve read the history of the popular and workers’ struggles in the U.S. through Zinn’s books in Spanish. And that’s why I honor the American working people, the Black and Indigenous people, the young soldiers who, alongside the Soviets, defeated Hitler. And that’s why I dared to speak on a street in New York in front of the United Nations building and under U.S. law that protects the opinions of those attending the United Nations Assembly to speak freely. I spoke against the genocide in Gaza—how I would have loved to accompany you to make peace in Gaza! Where the Palestinians love me, and perhaps if instead of going to capture a Latin American president with small controls on oil because you blocked the oil and condemned us to hunger and unleashed the exodus that reached your own country, I would have accompanied you to capture Netanyahu, the genocidaire. For what I said, you took the arrogance to punish my opinion, my words against the Palestinian genocide. Your punishment is to falsely accuse me of being a drug trafficker and having cocaine factories; I don’t have a car, nor estates abroad—my house I’m still paying off to the bank with my salary. It’s unjust, and I fight against injustices. I’m friends with a lot of people in the U.S. who stop me on the streets, surround me with their arms. That’s why I respect the history that began with Washington and Bolívar together; they gave each other things, they were liberators more than enslavers. I learned not to be a slave, and I reject your

Colin and Sophie Hortman, the children of Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, are asking Trump to remove the false posts about their parents' killing:
My father and mother, Mark Hortman and Melissa Hortman, and their dog Gilbert, were killed by a man who believed conspiracy theories and fake news. Words matter. Sharing fake news is dangerous. One part of my grief journey has been understanding the last conversation with my mother. She loved her job. People respected her job and what she did at her job. When I called her after the legislative session ended, I asked why she voted for the bill mentioned in the video shared by President Trump, and she wept. That bill and her vote had nothing to do with fraud. She voted for that bill because it was the only way to avoid a government shutdown. She had seen the impact of shutdowns: people lose their health care, their jobs, and in some cases, from a story she told me, have taken their own lives. She was in a very tough position on that vote. She had never really voted against her conscience like that. It was emotional and extremely difficult. Her struggle with that vote makes this conspiracy all the more painful for me. I am asking President Trump to remove the video that he shared and apologize to me and my family for posting this misinformation and for using my mother's own words to dishonor her memory. My sister Sophia Hortman (Sophie) asked me to share this on her behalf, she is off social media: "The video shared by President Donald Trump on Truth Social is a painful, false twisting of my mother's final vote. The vote she made was incredibly difficult for my mother; it was not a vote made lightly or with malice in her heart. She made the decision to prevent a government shutdown because she believed our great state protects and helps Minnesotans. We must create a society in which we do not harbor hatred and violence toward our political opponents, and this video promotes a false narrative which fuels the flames of political division. The video being shared by the president is another hurdle our family must overcome in grieving the loss of my parents, Mark and Melissa, and their beloved Gilbert. I ask President Trump to please consider the pain and sadness we have faced, and to honor the spirit of the holidays we have just spent without our parents by taking down the post on Truth Social." Please share our message and help us ask the President to take this down.
