Trump literally said it's fine to describe Maduro's abduction as a kidnapping to reporters but Western news outlets insist on whitewashing the operation on his behalf.
BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped. The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

The US invasion of Venezuela and capture of Maduro raises some of the clearest violations of international law we’ve seen in decades! I've broken down the international law issues in this brief post: https://t.co/NEyh7q1LA9

Trump’s military strikes in Venezuela, including Maduro’s capture, is a flagrant act of war + violation of international law. It's part of a shameful pattern of U.S. imperialism, where military power secures economic interests, like fossil fuels. More: https://t.co/3rwBVwV8AE

Trump’s strikes in Venezuela and capture of Maduro mark a flagrant act of war driven by oil. The U.S. must stop treating Latin America as a resource colony. — @esbast Read our response here:

For the record. This was not unanimous. I was muted on the call and not allowed to speak or voice my opposition to this move. Also for the record, this was not on the agenda. This was not consensus. This is censorship.
I have just been informed that the highly respected Board of the Kennedy Center, some of the most successful people from all parts of the world, have just voted unanimously to rename the Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center, because of the unbelievable work President Trump

This is government for the benefit of big polluters. While excluding the public, Shane Jones and his advisors repeatedly consulted the oil and gas industry, resulting in a new decommissioning regime that shifts the risk back to taxpayers.

A paper trail shows just how far ministers went to accommodate the industry's wishlist, including giving it access to draft laws.

1/ 🚨It’s down to the wire at #COP30. The latest draft text is shamefully weak. No mention of fossil fuels. No real finance commitments. Just vague adaptation promises. “This is outrageous.” – @bronwentucker 🧵👇 🔗 https://t.co/gA0gD8Q9yv

This is outrageous. The Presidency has presented a shamefully weak text that fails to mention fossil fuels, fails to deliver accountability towards rich countries’ finance obligations, and only makes...

🚨In the final stretch of #COP30, we need to be very clear: 📣A just transition away from fossil fuels needs public money, and rich countries need to pay their fair share 📣 The COP30 Presidency risks derailing the entire negotiations by saying otherwise

Bronwen Tucker, Public Finance lead at Oil Change International, said: “It’s distressing to hear the COP30 Presidency say we don’t need more public funding for the energy transition.

This morning @ #COP30: Indigenous land defenders blockaded access to the venue to demand real action to protect their territories ❤️🔥✊🏻 The best part is Total CEO Pouyanné was spotted among those locked out (and begging for anyone w/ photo evidence to come forward 👀)

This is really quite scandalous... the key assumption that means rising oil demand is that EV sales share will be the same in 2050 as in 2024 in EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD (except China+EU) 🤷♂️
🤡OIL DEMAND WILL KEEP RISING🤡 What are the IEA assumptions that make rising oil demand so improbable? Today’s new IEA WEO “Current Policies Scenario” (CPS) shows global oil demand 13% higher in 2050 than in 2024. The IEA had previously heralded an imminent peaking of oil by

It’s still not clocking to some fossil fuel lobbyists at #COP30.... The fossil fuel era is ending, cheaper renewables are taking over. @Davidxvx from @PriceofOil, speaking on the annual International Energy Agency report has emphasized: no single country can stop the energy

One thing I don’t understand about the “police in the Minister’s office stole the McSkimming emails” line - the police staff in the office don’t clear the Minister’s emails, a (probably junior) Ministerial staffer will, and send them on to whoever is assigned to pick them up.
