Experts inside #Venezuela warn that a Trump/U.S. invasion could detonate another Iraq/2003 disaster. My article @newrepublic. @ChuoTorrealba @philgunson @FerrerBreda @frrodriguezc

I was shot at a school shooting at 15. Last night spent locked down at my university while learning of casualties & the many injured. This is not how I imagined life when I was little girl. I miss that carefree child I once was. Thinking of the many affected #BrownUniversity

Is this really the best peace-making we can muster? In any peace process and this one, too, territory need not be a zero-sum issue. Land, and the communities and infrastructure on it, lend themselves to a wide range of solutions that transcend “one side gets to have it, precisely

In Chile, where non-citizen residents can vote, Kast is heavily favored to win today’s election with a combination of voters who blame an alleged crime wave on Venezuelan migrants, and Venezuelan migrants he’s pledged to deport, who support him because he’s anti-communist.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed El Ahmad, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example. https://t.co/HTeLRTlbFV

Before you start with your filthy racism on Muslims, say hello to Ahmed al Ahmed, a 43 years old Muslim citizen from Australia, who tackled and disarmed one of the Bondi Beach gunmen. A hero.

"The Second Emancipation" by @hofrench is among the "books of the year" listed by @thecontinent_

NYT: "At least two of the Brown University students who were on campus when a deadly shooting unfolded there have survived school shootings before."

Did Admiral Alvin #Holsey get pushed out of the Navy after 37 years because he hesitated to obey unlawful orders from Pete #Hegseth to kill non-combatants? Americans have the right to know.

Even during the Cold War, the USA and Soviet Union had extensive cultural exchange programs and dialogue. The move to silence and punish anyone who engages and recognizes Palestinians in any way shape or form is very dark and meant to facilitate their ethnic cleansing.

This #NYTimes article is warmongering and exaggerates #Venezuela's oil link to Cuba. The article admits, in smaller print, that the seized tanker had offloaded only "a small fraction of its oil" for Cuba. Marco Rubio could have written it -- to justify U.S. armed attacks.

Anyone who wants to learn more about U.S. complicity in the rise of Juan Orlando Hernández, the drug trafficking ex-president of #Honduras who Donald Trump just pardoned, should read this excellent book by Dana Frank.

As I told The Washington Post, the consequences of the US fully blocking Venezuela's oil trade could be catastrophic. A de facto naval blockade would lead to a very deep recession, worse than what Venezuela experienced between 2016 and 2020. https://t.co/n3ftBqe5sR @wapo

Very interesting video about oil industry & why #Venezuela is so important for the United States: heavy crude! Worth watching!

"[T]his inquiry is not some academic exercise. [] 137 men were spirited out of this country without a hearing and placed in a high-security prison in El Salvador, where many suffered abuse and possible torture, despite this Court’s order that they should not be disembarked."

US Accuses Rwanda of Backing Rebels Shredding Trump’s Peace Deal, UN says M23 advance threatens fragmentation of Congo & regional conflagration

Trump’s executive order supporting his fellow oligarchs is not only unconstitutional, it’s extremely dangerous. AI poses serious dangers to our economy, our privacy, our emotional well-being and our democracy. We cannot let a handful of oligarchs decide the future of humanity.

There's little news about #Honduras in the U.S. media -- unlike the '80s, when swarms of (mostly useless) reporters arrived to cover the bloody alliance between Reagan and Central American fascism. So today's valuable @AP story stands out. @hondurassol
