"the US will run Venezuela directly until there's a 'transition'"

there we go.

[elbiotipo]

in the words and candence of Trump:

"WE are going to run the country. (untilthereisasafeandjudicioustransition) ... We are going to run it basically. And as you know the oil business in Venezuela has been a bust for years now... the best oil companies in the United States will invest on its infrastructure."

Just if there is any ambiguity. The oil part was immediately afterwards by the way. I'm almost transcribing it live, you will find the transcript soon. Say what you want about Trump but he is completely transparent.

[elbiotipo]

"we built the Venezuelan oil industry with American money and talent and the socialist regime ROBBED it from us, it was the largest theft of American property in history"

OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDD

[elbiotipo]

IT'S LITERALLY LIKE IF US CAPITALISM AND IMPERIALISM MATERIALIZED INTO A PERSON. IT'S LIKE HISTORY IS SPITTING ON MY FACE. I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING INSANE.

[theartingskorpio]

Just to make it clear cuz I know there’s gonna be those people coming to defend this regime. MADURO IS A DICTATOR, WE DO NOT HAVE ANY FORM OF DEMOCRACY, THE ELECTIONS WERE RIGGED AND STOLEN FROM THE PEOPLE!

But on that same note FUCK TRUMP! FUCK THIS! He is not wanting our freedom he is using us to fill his ego and feel like a hero.

If this ends with this government falling down good I just hope it ends at that and it doesn’t go farther but with that orange pig there’s no telling.

We are scared, we want freedom but let’s hope this doesn’t empower them even more.

Let’s hope that the fall of one dictatorship doesn’t fuel up the rise of another.

(Because one idiot already went into full on but this blog hasn’t been active in months and they are supporting the US and all that bullshit, I HAVE A MAIN BLOG THATS MORE ACTIVE THIS IS MY ART BLOG BUT I POSTED ON IT BY MISTAKE BUT THE POST HAD ALREADY TAKEN OFF WITH NOTES WHEN I NOTICED.)

[beetrans]

the US wants to run Venezuela through just a conglomerate of oil companies. this is pure extractive colonialism and imperialist aggression. not to like be iranian on main but. oil. it's always fucking oil.

[angrythyme]

The US is bombing my home country Venezuela.

Venezuela has been in a dictatorship as long as I have been alive. Since 1998. My parents are happy about a coup and hope Maduro dies or gets arrested, which yes. Fuck Maduro, fuck Chavismo. But I've read way too much about the history of US dipping their hands into South America, installing puppet states, fucking everything up and this is not a win. Even if Maduro dies or gets arrested, the US just wants the country's resources, they are not magically going to fix everything, there is a corrupt reason for this to be happening that is yet to unfold and I'm so tired. Fuck Trump.

I wish I could find better words to explain this to non-venezuelans, or Venezuelans of an older generation who are just tired of failed "socialism" and beelined straight to far right borderline extremism as if that was better. For now my family back home is safe and I wish every person in Caracas the same.

i know it almost goes without saying at this point, but, death to america by any means necessary

[spiralatria]

today, usamerican follower, i want you to look at how the empire ignores its own laws whenever it’s convenient, and then use that insight to understand why voting and peaceful protest is ineffective as a political strategy.

[nadacwriter]

There isn't hope for me, btw.

Like I'm fucked. Give your money and attention to other people.

[flufflesamy]

i sincerely hope that this Venezuela invasion will be another disaster for the US on the scale of Vietnam. i also hope that casualties on the Venezuelan side will be minimized. may ten thousand usamerikkkan soldiers die painful deaths.

The conflicting events the world is witnessing today at the start of the new year 2026 are nothing but the work of the United States and Israeli governments; they are behind everything bad that happens in this world.

[abdalsalam2000]

What happened in Venezuela today—the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro from the heart of the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, on drug charges and other charges—is nothing more than a pretext for America to occupy Venezuela and steal its oil wealth and resources, even though Venezuela is a peaceful country. This is what America and Israel want; they want to occupy the world and kill everyone in it. They are evil.

[abdalsalam2000]

Israel has committed genocide in Gaza for two years, killing, displacing, and starving us while the international community, international law, and the International Criminal Court remain silent—a court whose entire existence has proven to be a lie. Multiple arrest warrants have been issued against Netanyahu, yet no one in the world has dared to arrest him. Meanwhile, the US arrested President Nicolás Maduro in his own country without anyone saying a word. Please, don't remain silent about this injustice. We are dying and suffering here while the rest of the world lives in peace and security. We are being bombed and killed. Please help us and donate to us.

Gofundme

Please donate to us. We deserve to live in safety and peace. Please donate now.

[sporesgalaxy]

Please donate to Nader and help him. Nader shouldn't be a victim of the Israeli war on Gaza. Please share this post and donate.

[abdalsalam2000]

Please, friends, help us. Please donate to us. We want to get out of here. We want to live in peace without fear of death and hunger. Please donate to us now.

[theinternetarchive]

Help Nader!!! Gaze at present is a nightmare, he needs help and as much as possible. Please donate all you can spare, even $5-10, it all adds up. Monetary assistance is the most concrete way to improve someone's circumstances in Gaza, so please do what you can.

[abdalsalam2000]

Please, friends, donate to us.

[wolfer-aid]

As everyone else has said, Nader needs help and support living in the intolerable conditions Israel has caused in Gaza

“If Latin America had not been pillaged by the U.S. capital since its independence, millions of desperate workers would not now be coming here in such numbers to reclaim a share of that wealth; and if the United States is today the world’s richest nation, it is in part because of the sweat and blood of the copper workers of Chile, the tin miners of Bolivia, the fruit pickers of Guatemala and Honduras, the cane cutters of Cuba, the oil workers of Venezuela and Mexico, the pharmaceutical workers of Puerto Rico, the ranch hands of Costa Rica and Argentina, the West Indians who died building the Panama Canal, and the Panamanians who maintained it.”

updated: for those wanting to help venezuelans these are the best general ways to go about it

cruz roja (red cross venezuela)

doctors without borders & world central kitchen

save the children (general campaign focused on venezuela)

+ the AFSC call to action (US)

[7crowsinadress]

If you’re a USAmerican and rightfully horrified by what the government is doing right now, I just want to rq share 5calls. They have a really simple tool for finding your reps and contacting them, as well as a variety of scripts for anyone not confident speaking off book. Emails can be filtered out, phone calls, voicemails, and physical letters are much harder to ignore. Calling your reps isn’t the end all be all of anti-war action, but it’s a place to start while you process what the fuck just happened.

5 Calls

Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

Did you know that you can write angry posts on the internet and send them to the people who actually have some power to change things?

Writing or calling your state representatives is easy, free and cathartic. While I recommend using respectful language so as not to be immediately filtered out, you can and should be stern and focused in your complaint.

This is the cheapest, easiest and most direct way to make your voice heard outside of elections. What's better, it allows you to channel your angry internet energy into actions instead of doomscrolling and directionless anger.

I'll be writing my representatives today and I encourage you to do so as well.

I'm tired of seeing dead people all the time. Dead kids. Everywhere. I'm tired. I just want to die. There is nothing I can do. I just want to die.

[nadacwriter]

I was actually gonna kill myself on this trip, since I'm at home and there's actually a way for me to do it (no way to do it where I live currently) but I chickened out and now I've made promises I have to keep.

So if anyone could send me 300 bucks so I can buy a gun and a bullet so I can do it when I get home that'd be nice.

[nadacwriter]

Killing myself isn't good enough I need to somehow die twice at once.
