Archiving the past and current events of the world. Begun on January 8th, 2026.

Apologies everyone if you’re looking for a lighthearted blog. If you want one based on fandoms and what brings me joy, you’re searching for @darling-reveries. Not this. This is intended to archive the good and bad we’ve done.

This is my service to people. I hope people will come across this with an open mind. This is not meant to put down any side. Anything that’s my opinion or anyone else’s opinion will be correctly labelled, and what’s fact (or at least what seems to be) will be labelled as well. But always take everything with a grain of salt and look into things yourself. Remain educated.

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

We keep these stories in libraries for a reason, for history repeats without them.

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 without more pretense of negotiations, 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.

Hey, guys! Thank you so much for your support and kind words. Everything is calmer now in Caracas. It seems Maduro was apprehended, but everything is extremely fishy. It all happened way too quickly. I don't believe for a second the official statements from neither the US nor our own government. My guess is Maduro made a deal and surrendered willingly, and he might've known this was going to happen for some time.

Currently, the vice-president, Delcy Rodriguez, and the minister of defense, Vladimir Padrino López, seem to be trying to seize power. So it's not over yet. People keep telling me things will calm down now that Maduro is out of the country, but I fear his supporters don't want to surrender. They are demanding for Maduro to be released and seem to be preparing for war. I doubt they have the weapons or manpower to actually stand up to the US, but I'm honestly not sure what will happen...

I’m so sorry for what we’re doing. I’ve never felt much attachment to my country, and now more than ever. I don’t know how we allowed this to happen. This is on us, more than people are willing to admit.

"at least venezuela lost a dictator" "the good thing about trump's invasion" "maduro deserved it" oh my god some of you are dangerously susceptible to fascist propaganda.

unfriendly and honestly hostile reminder that trump isn't invading venezuela because maduro is a dictator, or because of drug cartels. he's doing it only and exclusively because they have desirable oil reserves and no other reason. reminder that venezuela is a comparatively poor country that will never financially recover from this. reminder that venezuelans are suffering with the bombing and the air strikes. reminder that trump did it to steal from them and no one did anything. reminder that this sets a dangerous precedent and now all trump has to do to invade another country is claim they're in a dictatorship. reminder that trump is a fascist dictator.

this will only be bad, for venezuelans and for all of latin america (and possibly the whole world) in the long run. trump did this not to help the venezuelans or their country, but to steal their petrol and get away with it. and he will. because that's what dictators do.

Hello, guys. I know I haven't been active in this blog for some time, but I guess I just needed to write about this and I'm not sure where else to do it.

As some of you know, I live in Venezuela. For the last hour or so bombs have been falling over my city, Caracas. Some people say it's a coup d'etat, others that it's the US military. We are not yet sure what is happening.

A bomb fell over La Carlota, a military air base a few blocks away from my apartment. We can still see the smoke through the window. As I understand, bombs have also fallen on "strategic places" like Fuerte Tiuna and Miraflores.

The neighbors are speaking about leaving but me and my parents haven't decided what we are going to do. We don't really have a place to go. I'll keep you updated if I can. Thank you for taking the time to read.

Looks a safe distance away especially if 'meticulously executed' 😊 may I suggest you just chill and enjoy the scenery? Looks like you have awesome views where you live 🤩

[ishomieokay]

A few blocks away is not a safe distance from a bomb. You're a political fanatic with an impaired sense of empathy and should probably seek professional help. Beware of this sort of people.

I wish to acknowledge the fact that even a retired ICE agent can agree that the shooting on a Minnesota woman seems to be unreasonable. I refuse to show the video as the woman was shot three times in the face, and no one should be subjected to that, whether as a victim, or a witness. Though it is known this is not the first time that this particular ICE agent got physically aggressive with someone.

In a June incident, the agent was dragged by a vehicle at least 50 yards and required stitches, according to DHS and court documents.
