Many people in America cannot afford groceries, and millions are losing access to healthcare. Yet the President, without congressional approval, launched a military strike on Venezuela—after recently claiming the country was withholding oil and land that “belongs” to the United States.
Using military force to control land and resources in a foreign land has only ever yielded catastrophic outcomes. And, while the ousting of Venezuelan President Maduro is being lauded by some Venezuelans in exile, we cannot downplay the current and potential damage resulting from a U.S. President proclaiming about another sovereign nation, “We’re going to run the country” for now.
This is how militarism works. It diverts resources, concentrates power, and sustains empire while everyday people—at home and abroad—are left to suffer.
The bombing of nations and the violent capture of leaders in the interest of imperialism signal a dangerous disregard for human life and global norms. Civil society must speak, organize, and act—demanding nonviolent solutions and accountability rooted in human dignity.
Silence only enables more violence.

Karine Jean-Pierre isn’t leaving the Democratic Party over policy.
She’s leaving because they treated President Biden like shit.
If they keep up the Biden bashing they’ll lose even more of us.
I don’t think people understand that outside of the dumbfucks here, no one else looks at Trump and sees strength.
The leaders of other countries see the gross incompetence and clownish behaviors of a political freak of nature.
