The US has already killed innocent civilians in Venezuela. Stop acting as though this attack was legitimate and the only problems are in a hypothetical future.
The Venezuelan people elected Edmundo González to run their country.
Not Pete Hegseth or Marco Rubio.
The American people do not support another expensive foreign war that risks the lives of our men and women in uniform.

Hey you wanna know how to fix this? GO FUCKING VOTE.
More than a third of voting-age citizens just don't bother. 90+ million people stayed home.
America is only a democracy as long as we keep it, and right now we aren't doing a good job.

FIFA aggressively hating their own fans. How else to explain 9pm kickoff at foxboro ("Boston"+40 miles)? Jump on the commuter rail to Boston get there just as subway service ends. Or drive out the one lane from the stadium with the other 40k people. Home by 2am?

Anyway, waiting for the midterms is not a plan, and much as I enjoyed ‘No Kings,’ quarterly rallies are not going to cut it.
We need to start moving towards a general strike and the kind of sustained national protest that topple regimes.

ICE killed a father of three in Franklin Park a few days ago. They are snatching people at gas stations, at bus stops, and from their homes and cars, leaving screaming, panicked children in their wake. It is a nightmare, and when ICE has amassed 10,000 new agents, it could be the new normal.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.
