If the Spanish language triggers you, world flags anger you, and an uplifting message against hate sends you into a rage, you might be a white supremacist.
Let me walk you through the various possible explanations for Trump's invasion of Venezuela and see which ones hold water.
(spoiler: the good faith explanations don't, the corrupt ones do)
“This idea oil companies will rush to 🇻🇪— that’s not a thing. Ludicrous. It’ll take $100 BILLION to restore the infrastructure.”
@mrglobaltoo.bsky.social says Trump invaded to look tough + distract from Epstein, as 🇺🇸oil companies play along to keep him happy

Kyiv subway.
Voices of the Embassies of Germany, France, and the United Kingdom came together to perform Shchedryk in the Kyiv metro as a sign of solidarity with Ukraine.
Thankful to everyone who stands with us!
GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing
BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?
GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now
THOMPSON: What does that mean?
"Also amazing are pancakes, folks. A new word nobody has ever heard. I came up with it. They're like cakes but from a pan. I call them pancakes. Christians too. Adopting to pancakes. Very big stuff. Ballroom. Huge. And some say flarpnozzle bing. Bingidy bangidy. So sad. Flurp."
Trump: "Christians and more, think of this, more than twice as likely foster care they'll adopt the general population. They adopt to it so easily. When they get out, they adopt to it like it's become second nature. It's amazing."
You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.
STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.”
Nailed it.
Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this.
You're welcome
So Trump’s big plan is to send in the National Guard to “crack down on violent crime” in D.C.? Funny, I don’t remember him deploying them when actual violent criminals were smashing windows and beating police officers on January 6…oh right, those were his supporters.
Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:
A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.
“You simply can’t treat the airstrike group chat the same way you treat the friend’s girlfriend’s birthday brunch planning group chat. … I mean, these dumbasses are probably planning the invasion of Greenland on Snapchat right now.”

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.
But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.
He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.
🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot.
REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!
“I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.
“I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.”
I know many of you still have so many unanswered questions and want to talk about your concerns about what’s happening in D.C. That’s why I’m holding a Town Hall in Albuquerque on Thursday! Please join us!

These are the agencies Elon Musk is actively gutting. Firing thousands—while he rakes in federal contracts and the GOP prepares a massive tax break for the ultra rich.
This is not government efficiency. This is a heist.
Two fucking bandits.
One of them has unleashed horrific violence against the people of Ukraine.
The other is our next door neighbour threatening our sovereignty.
But we know exactly who this grifter is.
We don't bend.
We don't break.
We remain #strongasfuck
True. North. Strong. Free.
Elon Musk is NOT a government official, elected official, or appointee, yet his lackeys are taking over the Department of the Treasury.
We will not let Elon take our country! This is our country! We will take it back!
Trump just revoked the Equal Employment Opportunity executive order of 1965, rolling back 60 years of progress on civil rights.
The order had prohibited employment discrimination in federal hiring based on race, religion, and gender.
