Doing this to countries that the US has invaded and/or bombed makes this even more disgusting.

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles.

It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.
Advocates want legal action after man shot and killed by off-duty ICE agent in Northridge
Advocates argue that the off-duty ICE agent wasn't trained for the situation and should have called police and waited for them to arrive.

As I approach the end game of Xenoblade 3, I'm really starting to appreciate that the Monolithsoft devs managed to make a thematic successor to Xenosaga 3.

Just got a boiler plate response to my email to my congressman re: the war in Venezuela. Said response doesn't even mention Venezuela, not that I was expecting it to.

I also left a phone message, but I'm not expecting any response to that.

Many local groups have begun planning protests and actions against ICE in other cities.

You'll probably feel better joining an action than doom scroling for a snuff video, just saying.

There's still meant to be a ceasefire btw.

But at least 414 Palestinians have been killed and 1,145 injured (that we know of) since that ceasefire went into effect, with Israel now physically occupying more than 50% of the Gaza Strip.

lol this is borderline Shaternian levels of petty.

The one silver lining to this act of murder and war is that Machado is eating shit.
WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.

“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

The death toll is now 80? I know the pandemic made life cheap amid mass death, but 80 dead is staggering

The corollary to "Nothing is a distraction" is that you can work on any important part of the problem productively. Find what motivates you, build broad community, stay engaged for the long term.

NYT:

At least 40 people were killed in the US attack on Venezuela, including military personnel and civilians.

"Miraculously, there were no American deaths"

How many Venezuelans died? Bezos and pals clearly think that Venezuelan lives are worthless.

There's a non-zero chance that Maduro gets acquitted after all this. For all the talk of kangaroo courts, the Bondi DOJ is really bad at prosecuting cases. What happens if they can't convict him?
