Stop Trump’s Escalation Toward an Unauthorized War in Venezuela
Text SIGN PGPZJY to 50409 — I am writing with deep concern about the Trump regime's rapid escalation toward a potentially catastrophic and unauthorized military conflict with Venezuela. Yesterday, President Trump declared on social media that “THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA” is “CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY,” a sweeping assertion of power far beyond any lawful authority. The Venezuelan government denounced this as a “colonialist threat,” and they are correct to view it as a violation of international law and national sovereignty. This declaration is not happening in isolation. It follows months of U.S. military buildup in the region, covert CIA operations authorized by the president, and a series of lethal strikes on alleged drug boats—at least 21 actions resulting in at least 83 deaths since September. Now the president is telling U.S. service members that “very soon” land operations will begin. That is a de facto announcement of a ground invasion without congressional approval. The Trump regime's moves have already caused immediate disruption. Venezuela has now suspended all migrant deportation flights in response to Trump’s announcement. The FAA has issued a warning about a “worsening security situation” and “heightened military activity.” Commercial airlines have paused operations; Venezuela has revoked operating rights for six major international airlines. And in the midst of all this, the U.S. Department of Defense refuses comment while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is already under scrutiny for allegedly issuing illegal kill orders in the September 2 boat strike. This pattern is unmistakable: the administration is manufacturing a crisis to justify a conflict. Trump’s accusations that President Nicolás Maduro is a drug trafficker—charges Maduro denies—mirror the kind of pretext-building we have seen before in other misguided wars. And the assembled U.S. firepower far exceeds what would be needed for narrow counter-narcotics operations. The American people see through this. Polling shows that 70% oppose military action against Venezuela. Congress cannot allow the president to unilaterally declare foreign airspace “closed,” launch land operations, or escalate into war without authorization. You must act immediately. I urge you to: 1. Publicly reject any unauthorized military action against Venezuela, including land operations. 2. Hold emergency hearings on the administration’s actions in Venezuelan airspace and maritime zones. 3. Demand full transparency from the Department of Defense and CIA regarding operations already under way. 4. Reassert Congress’s exclusive authority to authorize war under Article I of the Constitution. 5. Ensure protections for migrants whose deportation flights were abruptly suspended due to this unilateral escalation. The United States cannot stumble into yet another unnecessary, unlawful conflict—especially one being driven by political weakness rather than national security. Congress must put a stop to this before it spirals into a regional war. Please act with urgency.

As with everything, Trump is continuing preexisting undercurrents in the Republican Party and making them worse.

A lot of what Trump is doing can be called next-level awful, at least in its egregiousness.

But one thing he's about to do that no president has ever done. And it's something Republicans have dreamt about doing forever.

Millions of Americans are about to be intentionally uninsured by the GOP.
For the first time in US history, the GOP is intentionally uninsuring millions of Americans
Paul Ryan's wettest dream is about to come true. And it's everything Ted Cruz tried to prevent.

Yes, an $848.55 invested in the Melania Trump coin near the beginning of this year is now worth $1.16. Everyone in the family knows how to do a classic Trump rip-off scam of especially the culties infatuated by this immoral clan.

There's been zero evidence released to the public that the boats that Trump has ordered destroyed in the Caribbean and the Eastern Pacific are drug runners and/or terrorists. Perhaps they are, but the evidence is not there.

I wish all figures of authority cared about moms and babies. But some don’t. Some even want you to hurt. And those are the people who cast doubt on the vaccination miracle that has allowed so many of us to live longer and better.

Translation: Pete may well go down for this. But I’m not going with him.
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?

Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

I have no words...
Reporter: You have made so clear how you want to keep drugs out of the US—

Trump: Right

Reporter: Can you explain why you would pardon a notorious drug trafficker?

Trump: If somebody sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president

Imagine I got pulled over for speeding and the cop asked me for my license and registration. I don't get to say "but the Bible doesn't have any posted speed limits" and then protest the ticket because the officer ignored by precious religious beliefs.

What also gets me is that pretty much every faculty member I know is eager to engage with different viewpoints. You brought real data and interpreted it differently? Hell yes. You’re thinking! It’s the empty baseless slop, all emotion and no thought, that we push back against. That’s the job.

This is what almost every one of my colleagues worries about. You can do everything right. Every bit. And if someone wants to end your career, they likely can. Evidence doesn’t matter. Empty rage fuels them and will keep doing so. As long as admins cower before the wolves, it’s the dark times.

The compassion required to read an essay that asserts your identity is a delusion and then engage with it generously and helpfully is worth noting. It’s exactly what should be done by a great teacher or prof. And now part of this person’s identity—and not proper pedagogy—will be what’s focused on.

Fucking hell, grad students have no power at all and now this poor person has been thrust into the national spotlight for doing their job (seemingly quite well, too) because some apparent asshole felt aggrieved and decided this powerless person was an easy target.

Very tempting to keep commenting on the OU situation, especially given their (very bad) announcement. However, I can’t help but think that the likely very scared grad student TA at the center of this more than anything needs support and respect and not to be talked around.
