👀🇺🇸🇻🇪 Sources within the Venezuelan opposition tell Sky News they believe Nicolás Maduro’s capture was a “negotiated exit.” U.S. Deputy Secretary of State says Maduro will “finally face justice for his crimes.”

Venezuela is a sovereign country, not a non-state actor. It is not developing any offensive capabilities that would threaten US safety. There has been no argument to Congress—the only entity that can declare war—that the United States must undertake military operations. This is beyond illegal.

“Venezuela reserves the right to exercise legitimate self-defense to protect its people, its territory, and its independence. We call upon the peoples and governments of Latin America, the Caribbean, and the world to mobilize in active solidarity against this imperialist aggression.”

The marketing of X shamelessly promotes Grok, an AI tool designed not for objectivity but as a propaganda machine for a fascist oligarch. This clearly illustrates how technology can be weaponized to manipulate and control.

Trump is getting a $400 million luxury Boeing 747-8 as a ‘gift’ from Qatar’s royal family, ABC reports. The plane is described as a “flying palace” and will be used as Airforce One and then transferred to Trump. It’s the biggest foreign ‘gift’ ever and apparently doesn’t break bribery laws.

This #Eurovision feels like a special one for me. When my mother was born, her home country of Switzerland won for the first time. When I was born Switzerland won for the second time. This year we’ll be watching together as Switzerland hosts its third contest, even though we won’t be in the country.

🇺🇦🗣️ Zelensky: Putin created a fake calm only for the May 9 parade. Why fake? Because the attacks on the front continue. Russian assaults do not stop. They are still using aerial bombs. But there were no air raids. And this proves once again: when Moscow does not want to kill, it can stop.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.
Wilmer only found out his son had been detained after receiving a phone call on March 15 from his nephew, Luis, who lives with them. That morning was their last time together; they had gone around the corner to do their laundry. Later that day, Wilmer said that his son met with a friend to get help with some errands at the American Red Cross. He learned this from Luis, who looked at the situation from inside the apartment: when his son was on his way back, just steps from his home when ICE agents stopped him. “The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, ‘No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, ‘Take him anyway.'”

That moment marked the beginning of Wilmer’s search for answers — answers he’s still waiting for.

Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.
