I've just used Good Law Project's tool to email MPs on the Council of Europe and let them know they don’t have to bend down to Sex Matter’s transphobic threats.
The more they hear from us, the harder it’ll be for them to ignore us. goodlaw.social/9f10d1
Death toll from US attacks in Venezuela rises to 80, could go higher.
Trump told reporters: “We’re going to be taking out a tremendous amount of wealth out of the ground.”
At the UN many condemned US violation of the UN Charter, the UK hasn't.
Do not get fooled!

a little brown dachshund puppy sits on her tuchus on the concrete floor of a gym, back paws splayed out and pink puppy belly on proud display. a loaded barbell is sitting on the floor in front of her, and she’s resting one front paw on the bar. she’s giving the camera a look that screams “are you kidding me right now,” which is extremely relatable.
This is Herschel. She spent 15 minutes at the gym before deciding to switch her New Year's resolution to self acceptance. 12/10 (IG: cfsbk)
Propaganda still masquerading as "journalism" in Western media. #BBC #Venezuela
Ed Davey criticises Starmer and Cooper for failing to acknowledge Trump's attack on Venezuela as a clear breach of international law
Cooper response is both cowardly and disgusting
Please do…I’ve had enough
US President Donald Trump threatens to invade and attack other countries: “We have to do it again [in other countries]. We can do it again, too. Nobody can stop us." #VenezuelaInvasion

Imagine being the person brave enough to leak this in the hopes that media attention could stop it and then the media just……buries it.

This one is resonating today. #Andor
Genocide continues
Just Tommy Robinson apparently committing treason, in effect asking for a foreign power to do a coup in his own country
Reminded me of this... 🤔
THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread
This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated.
According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.
“Well… we can’t just keep filing impeachment articles all the time.”
Yes you can! If the man is committing impeachable offenses on the regular, you’re acquiescing to a standard that raises the bar for impeachable offense to absurd levels.
Two social media posts. The first is from Keir Starmer and reads: “The UK has long supported a transition of power in Venezuela. We regarded Maduro as an illegitimate President and we shed no tears about the end of his regime. I reiterated my support for international law this morning. The UK government will discuss the evolving situation with US counterparts in the days ahead as we seek a safe and peaceful transition to a legitimate government that reflects the will of the Venezuelan people.” Below it is a post from Ed Davey that reads: “This cop out isn’t good enough. Standing up for international law means condemning leaders when they break it, whether that’s Vladimir Putin or Donald Trump.”
Wrote a thing:
The carnage associated with fossil fuel is why speeding the transition to renewables is good for international stability as well as everything else. Fossil fuel is inseparable from violence, and dependence on it it has created a brutal world order....
“We need a transatlantic alliance more than ever, but it needs to be between peoples not states. Your state is out of control. Our state is frozen in craven ignorance. And we’re all, governments and people too, in a state of dangerous denial.”
you simply do not have to preface your statements about this with “but Maduro sucks”
whether or not Maduro sucks is entirely beside the point - we invaded another country and grabbed their leader with no justification other than “we wanted to”
don’t give them cover on it
Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"
Post which says "Very scary last night fron one kilometer of the military base was pretty horribke. May God help us.
Message from my dear friend in El Valle, Caracas. The base is Fort Tiuna which is surrounded by densely populated suburbs of high rises and barrios. Electricity is gone, people are queing for water and to get mobiles charged. Everyone is terrified of being bombed by the US again tonight.

I've never understood the "I hate my spouse/ partner/ wife/ husband/ etc" trope. Like... OK, then why are you with them? Why did you get together? Why are you still together? I cannot fathom resenting my partner that much and staying anyway
fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US
desinteresse on tumblr: "Honestly being overworked makes people unobservant and passive and it literally kills people every day. People don't seem to realize that an overworked nurse might not notice your sepsis symptoms and a tired truck driver might not notice your car when he's merging into the lane. Failing to protect worker's rights impacts nearly everyone" kiralamouse: "THIS. I want workers to be treated well for their own sake, but I NEED workers to be treated well for MY sake. We have got to stop glorifying eroding margin into the negative zones."
Library of Alexandria number... what? 2.0? 3.0?
Tbh that took longer than I thought it would
Dammit, Onion! It took me longer than I'd like to realise what account I was looking at!
