Well, the weeks start coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming
Well-said.
You make good points.
So much this.
Truth.
QFT
(idk, I didn't bother to read)
The head of a University in Belgium, who is also a key figure of the Green party, got caught using AI to write her opening speech of the year and not only that, it contained quotes misatrributed to famous people. Like, fake Einstein quotes and stuff. I just think that's funny as fuck.
As a reminder, the US is not invincible and their Delta force has been defeated before.

what is going on in Iran?
Among all the Venezuela chaos some things lost focus, but that law the Brazilian Congress passed reducing the sentence for the coup plotters was vetoed yesterday. Notably it was vetoed on the anniversary of the coup attempt itself.
Congress in recess right now, but their reaction was rather lackluster which makes sense considering it's been less than a week since a neighbor country was bombed by the USA. Although the Lula admin clearly wants the veto to be overruled for electoralist goals, I suspect the reaction to the Maduro abduction coupled with the extra time for popular organisation and the typical radicalization of discourse in electoral years might be enough for a popular success.
Maduro court case judge is 92 years old.
Dozens of oil tankers from BRICS members Brazil, Russia, China, India, plus Mexico and others are BREAKING THE AMERICAN BLOCKADE and loading Venezuelan oil.

As they should. Venezuela can decide for their own and countries doing business with them should be able to do so. US insanity should be kept to their own.
Whenever you hear about drug traffickers and drug cartels, never forget Gary Webb.
If you have any liberal friend or family that still believes in the US as a "good" force, this book will dispel that fallacy.
Rome Italy. A comrade there is doing great agitprop

Basically boils down to:
1. US has very lethal force, that can do targeted attacks/kidnapping.
2. All out invasion is not feasible for USA (check Afg, Iraq, VIetnam)
3. It’s not a coup by his VP, that’s preposterous
4. Revolution still continues
5. Material support offered by Russia and China is not enough
6. Maduro called for diplomacy before, that’s still the official position
7. In the article they discuss the parallel between Russia and Germany during WW1, the same thing is emphasized in this article too.
In 1918, Lenin and the Bolsheviks famously signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, ceding vast territories to imperialist Germany to save the infant Soviet Republic from annihilation. He was accused of selling out the revolution by the “left communists” in his party, but he compared such a compromise to that of giving up your wallet to an “armed bandit” in exchange for your life. This concession led to the breakup of the alliance with the Left Socialist-Revolutionaries who accused him of “treason.” The Left Socialist-Revolutionaries took up an armed struggle against the Bolshevik government, including an assassination attempt on Lenin as a “traitor to the revolution” that left him badly wounded in September 1918. Two months later, Germany surrendered and the Soviet Republic regained all the territory lost at Brest-Litovsk.
Venezuela facing the same situation. Retreat today to advance tomorrow. (Offer big shares of PSUV to US finance)
This kidnapping happened due to failed regime change, and US fragility to do ground invasion
As a tangent, I also heard USA tried to do naval blockade, but Venezuela circumvented it with the help of Russia. Blockade was not effective. (Again this is not mentioned in the article)
Woke up, no snow. Went to get dressed for 15 minutes, 5cm of snow. Cool, I'll take the bus. No bus, no info anywhere about of they operate or not. Cool, I'll take the metro. No metro (underground hello????).
Good luck getting to work. Oh btw, if you are late it's your fault. It was announced it would be snowing. Oh your bus didn't appear without any warning? Oh well...
This country crumbles the second something unexpected happens.
I thought EU countries would have more robust worker protections in the case of public transport being disrupted.
Can you not legally call off work if you can't arrive with public transportation?
My party made a post on instagram condemning the invasion of Venezuela, and they actually said that Maduro and Chavez improved the lives of Venezuelans. I'm positively surprised. Of course some libs in the party are complaining about that, and the group chat is fighting over if Maduro deserves support
Gusanos have been trying for years to fabricate this myth that Venezuela was prosperous before Chavez, there is no doubt that people's lives have improved under the chavista period, there have been bad times due to the oil shocks and subsequent economic blockades by Empire but they're overall on a better spot.
I saw that too and I thought wow that is a bold stance to take even for Bij1. The comments are wack though but it can be expected with a big tent party like Bij1. Unfortunately you will get a lot of radlibs.
How are you all doing?
fucking horrible but thank you for asking anyways
ofc
Not great, dear American comrade. It's been a while since I've been so full of anger and helplessness towards the imperialist regime, it's hard to keep in mind that not all of the people in the core are evil.
No, they aren't.
In my trans group therapy session, everyone was condemning the kidnapping of Maduro and the United States.
Anecdotally, here in the belly of the beast those I've spoken with have condemned the empire's aggression. Opinions are split on Maduro, but this isn't a repeat of US support for Iraq, it's closer to popular public response to the post-Al Aqsa Flood view of Palestinian genocide. The historic unshakeable faith in the empire as a necessary evil is eroding rapidly, though of course there are countless fash supporting it still.
I have noticed this too.
As good as being a part of a Petite Bourgeois family can be. Not to mention that it is a Latino family, so the reaction is ten fold than normal.
I am also Latina.
Are they quite reactionary? I'm thinking it's just the specific conditions of my family being Labor Aristocrats or Petite Bourgeoisie leading to such reaction, and not any sort of culture or ethnicity. It's just so disappointing. They're extremely individualist, and believe fully in the "American Dream"- to such an extent that, when I make a joke about it (i.e: "You gotta be asleep to believe it", etc), they get provoked.
They are either liberal or fascist. One of them is white-passing and believes in race science.
Hello, all!
Have you ever wished that you could interact with a stranger whom you used to see somewhere online a lot.

I remember reading and enjoying this guy’s posts, but I never got a chance to talk to him and I have no clue how anybody could contact him today — assuming that he remains alive, that is. I would have loved to have met him… sigh. I miss him. I hope that he is doing okay now, wherever he be.
This year feels exhausting to me already and we're not even a week in. I'm trying to keep in perspective that's part of the goal of shock action is to wear down and demoralize, but it still grates.
Hey, is Maduro's wife actually being charged with anything? Or is she just being held because ??? Obviously the entire situation is bad but I feel especially bad for her.
Maduro charges are fabricated anyways, whats a few fabricated charges more for his wife?
Guilt by association, cruel
Probably being used as a hostage to try and threaten Maduro into confessing or some such.
Leftist viewpoints and resistance LMFAO, is this liberal zionist mainstream viewpoint now or something? (This is Quora btw)
There's a whopping 2 cm of snow here and emergency situations have been issued. The entire public transport system is overwhelmed. Like fuck me man how? In high school I had to plough through -12 degrees and snow and nobody thought it was anything special.
From Rusia! Solidarity with Venezuela!
