Since the early hours of Saturday, a series of strikes have hit Venezuela and the country's president has been "captured" and flown out of the country. In a fast-developing situation, here's everything we know so far.
"Producing code that isn't designed for legibility and maintainability, that is optimized, rather, for speed of production, is a way to incur tech debt at scale." 👏

Pourquoi l’extrême droite est au centre du jeu politique et va y rester
En 2025, cette force politique a encore fortement progressé dans de nombreuses élections en Europe et dans le monde. Une poussée qui trouve son origine dans l’affaiblissement de ses adversaires, mais aussi dans une dynamique propre de déni et de violence.
This, this, so much this thread. Look, if you're opposed to what Putin is doing in Ukraine, but you're ok with what Israel is doing in Gaza and the West Bank or with what Trump is doing in Venezuela, then you can just fuck off all the way into the sun. You're no ally of mine or of peace.
I just unsubscribed from The Counteroffensive. I really followed Tim Mak and his crew on Ukraine, and believe they were providing very crucial reporting. However, their take on Venezuela unlawful bombing and abduction was appalling. Regardless of what Maduro is (and I don't have nice words for him) the US invading another country because they don't like their regime and wants control over their resources IS NOT AN END TO DICTATORSHIP, IT'S REPLACING IT.
"Quite an undisclosed conflict of interest: K Budd-Falen,🚨the #3 at the Int Dept, didn’t disclose a $3.5M water-rights contract btw her husband +devs of a NV mine approved by Dept of the Interior." -K Vogel
Falen’s sale of his water rights depended on the mine getting a permit from the Int Dept. W/o it, Lithium NV could've terminated its deal with him. Trump’s 1st term: Int Dept approved Thacker Pass, using a “fast track” process. #Kleptocracy #Corruption #Fascism #USPol nytimes.com/2026/01/03/climate…

Handen af van Venezuela: Solidariteitsprotest tegen Amerikaanse terreur
My friends, sometimes the most difficult thing about fighting evil is realizing that it actually exists, and then unambiguously and forcefully calling it what it is.
History shows time and time again that one of evils greatest strengths is its ability to disguise itself as good, or at least a temporary necessity, until that last fatal moment when its revelation becomes clear, indisputable, and inescapable.
So today let us take a clear and unadulterated look into the mirror at ourselves.
Just six years ago we were one of the most respected and admired defenders of democracy and human rights in history. Respected not only by our friends, but even begrudgingly by most of our enemies. In fact, even the fantastic power of our military paled in comparison to the overwhelming might of our moral authority.
Today we are a nation that operates secret prisons occupied by anonymous inmates, illegally abducted and held indefinitely without charge or representation. We are guilty of torture. We are guilty of murder. We are guilty of preemptive war of conque

Today we are a nation that operates secret prisons occupied by anonymous inmates, illegally abducted and held indefinitely without charge or representation. We are guilty of torture. We are guilty of murder. We are guilty of preemptive war of conquest. We are guilty of the wholesale surveillance of our population, suppressing all hope of privacy and free dissent. And we are guilty of disgracing our nation through the abandonment of even our most basic precepts of morality.
If this is not evil then nothing we have ever fought against is evil, and nothing we have ever fought for is good." SearingTruth, A Future of the Brave, 2005
