Ozzie Guillen, former star player and manager, is a hero to us Chicago White Sox fans. Right now he's in his native #Venezuela, managing the Aragua Tigers in winter baseball. Is my country really going to launch armed attacks against his country. @pabloreports.bsky.social @dceiver.bsky.social

These lies are an actual official tweet from America's Department of Homeland Security. The peaceful protesters are NOT "violent rioters." The street taco sellers and construction workers are NOT "some of the worst human beings on planet earth." @pabloreports.bsky.social @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

More arrogant lunacy. Not one single person in #Venezuela is quoted or cited in this article. We should pay attention, because these warmongers are pushing another #Iraq disaster. (@foreignpolicy.com should be ashamed it ran this.)

An ignorant article endorsing U.S. military attacks against #Venezuela -- with zero warning that "regime change" could detonate a disaster inside the country. Quotes only one Venezuelan. The same catastrophic idiocy invaded #Iraq in 2003. @pabloreports.bsky.social @frrodriguezc.bsky.social

More media malpractice at the #NYTimes. Nowhere in this long article does the paper analyze the catastrophic impact a U.S. attack would have inside #Venezuela. Not one single Venezuelan is interviewed. The same incompetence at the NYT and elsewhere contributed to the disaster in Iraq in 2003.

The Republican National Committee wants to deport the next mayor of New York City. How are these people any different from German Nazis, in the early 1930s?

Needs to be investigated. Did Lt. General Joe McGee resign because he refused to obey unlawful orders from Pete #Hegseth? If so, he should be given a medal, and the gratitude of a nation. @gtconway.bsky.social @jfallows.bsky.social

The #NYTimes is desperate to stop Zohran Mamdani. Here's its latest hit job.
So when can we expect the paper to expose Andrew Cuomo's college curriculum, which clearly "steeped" him in pro-billionaire "dogma?"

This #NYTimes headline is not accurate. It should read:
"The U.S. continues its illegal aerial campaign, killing 14 more people accused (without evidence) of smuggling drugs on boats."

The #NYTimes is just repeating #Hegseth's lie about "25,000 lives saved" without challenging it. The deadliest drug, #fentanyl, does NOT come from #Venezuela. So the #NYT is letting Hegseth justify murder on the high seas. @pabloreports.bsky.social @extremearturo.bsky.social

Breathtaking #NYTimes media malpractice. The nationwide #NoKings demonstrations attracted 7 million people to arguably the largest protests in U.S. history. But today's Times hides 2 small photos on the front page, and buries the story on page 23. @jfallows.bsky.social @froomkin.bsky.social

Stephen Miller is the 2nd or 3rd most powerful man in our country. He has huge influence over the impaired Trump. He is pushing for an invasion of #Venezuela. And he has a pathological hatred of Latinos, dating back to his youth -- as shown in this vital biography by @jeanguerre.bsky.social.

Another stupid headline in the #NYTimes. Today's #NOKINGS nationwide marches are almost certainly the biggest in my lifetime, and I'm in my 70s. In what universe is that not gigantic news? @froomkin.bsky.social @fairmediawatch.bsky.social

Apparently the worst outrages in Chicago are being carried out by the Border Patrol, who are even more out of control than ICE. Which makes this inside account from former Border Control Agent Jenn Budd even more vital.

I reached experts in #Venezuela for my article @newrepublic.com about Trump's threats to attempt violent "regime change" there. My contacts do NOT support the undemocratic Maduro government. But they explain why a U.S. invasion would detonate a disaster.

Trump isn't "blowing up boats." He's "murdering" or "assassinating" people without due process.
Were the editors off duty at the #NYTimes? Or don't #Venezuelans count as "people?"

Extraordinary bias in the #NYTimes. #Israelis held captive are "hostages." But #Palestinians, most of whom have never been put on trial, are called "prisoners."
