We situate the attack on Venezuela in a larger context, reflect on what effective opposition could look like, and identify how we can take action in response.

“We live in a world that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power,” Stephen Miller told CNN host Jake Tapper, on January 5, 2026, spelling out the fascist program as he justified seizing Greenland by force. “These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.”
What is the alternative to this worldview? How can we ensure that it does not triumph?
The attack on Venezuela and the conflicts to come: how to understand the imperialist objectives of the Trump administration and identify ways to resist.

2000 federal mercenaries are deploying in the Twin Cities to terrorize and kidnap people. This is the front line of the regime's program to introduce fascism, rule by brute force.

Hey, folks. I hate doing this, but my family and I need help with money for food & gas. This is unfortunately going to be a regular request until I can get a new job. (See my pinned posts for my resume.)
We average about $35/day for food (2 adults, 2 kids) and $10/day for gas, if we are being cheap. Dog food is $22/week. So we need around $335-$340 to make it through the week, making sure everyone is fed and gets to school. Any help, however small, is deeply appreciated.
Please boost for reach! And remember, you can unboost and boost again to keep it visible.
Week of Jan 5: Progress: $0/$340
***** We still need ~$660 to keep the phones and utilities on. *****
We are pretty tight tonight for groceries. About $10 shy of what we need. If folks wouldn't mind unboosting/reboosting, my family and I would really appreciate it!
Down to $11 for tonight. I've been letting down on the editing & reboosting because I've been distracted with job search stress, and now we don't have enough to get dinner.
We have just enough for dinner -- very tight, but doable. But we are completely out of dog food aside from what's in the bowl rn. Would anybody be able to help us out so our pooches don't go without?
We also habe another issue: Our car insurance has lapsed, and so has our vehicle registration. We need the vehicle in order to get the kids to school, since we are outside the bus routes, and in Texas, they impound your vehicle if you're caught driving without insurance. The registration being out makes it *way* more likely to be pulled over, so my wife is a nervous wreck (pardon the pun) every time she has to drive.
We need ~$300 total in order to get the insurance reinstated and cover the registration.
Right now we are subsisting on just enough money to eat and feed the dogs. Utility bills will be coming due soon, too, but they are less urgent right now.
Can anybody help us keep from falling deeper in the hole while I search for a job?
We got the dog food and dinner tomorrow covered, thanks to two very kind folks' help. We still need help with the other stuff, but I'm a lot less panicky because at least everyone will be fed
I have a job interview tomorrow at 10:30am. It would help a lot if I could afford something decent for breakfast tomorrow. $12 won't be enough to even afford dinner for the kids tonight.
If you wouldn't mind, please unboost/reboost the original post so this gets seen. I really appreciate it!
We are down to just $2 -- if we round up. I could really use a reboost of this, if you're willing to help us out. The upcoming job interview isn't until a week or two from now, but the family still has to eat in the meantime. Many thanks!
@hadon Not a typo! Some of it was already spent, as it's a running total, but we got over $1k in a single day! This should keep us going for a over a week, even with the bills that have to come out of it.
@8petros Hey, I went to MetaMask, but it's not at all clear what I need to do from here. Is the chrome extension required for desktop access? Is it better to just do it on my phone?
Essentially it is just your preference, whichever device you feel more comfortable with. Once you have your wallet securely set up, you can just publish its address for people to start sending a specific crypto you chose as your base.
Next step is to create a multicurrency donation link via trocador, where you put your wallet address as the receiving address, but people can send many different currencies, being exchanged on the fly. For spending the money, the crypto card seems to be the easiest way.
@8petros I've come to the conclusion that I have no idea whatsoever what I'm doing. lol The user interface for trocador is really confusing and unintuitive. I finally figured out how to create an account and log in, at least.
Is it a bad idea to just share a public wallet link from MetaMask, and skip trocador altogether?
I took some out of our food money for my medications. We are down to $15.67 for dinner tonight, and we have bills coming up, one of them urgent. Even if I ace the upcoming interviews, there's no way I can manage this in the meantime, so I could really use your help. Please unboost/reboost the original post. Thank you!
Medication: $94/94 (monthly expense, already paid out of food money)
Water bill: $146/174 (due 1/10)
Phone bill: $0/$625.78 (cut off date is 1/11, will have no internet w/o it and therefore unable to job hunt)
We have the food covered for the week, but we need a lot to catch up on the phone bill and keep from losing phone & internet. We only have a short time before that happens. I have job interviews scheduled this coming week, and I'm really afraid of it getting cut off in the middle of that and missing my chance to earn instead of begging. Please help us out if you can.
I really need your help, folks. We have that massive overdue amount on our phone bill, and a water bill due soon, too. I won't be able to job hunt or even come on here to ask for help if I don't get the phone paid by the 11th. I'm getting panicky about it at this point. I want to be able to support myself, but for that to happen, I need to be able to attend the remote interviews and get phone calls.
Please please unboost and reboost the original post above to get it in front of as many eyes as possible!

osiągnięcie autonomii poza państwem wymaga sojuszników w państwie. Konieczne jest zhybrydyzowanie państwa, poleganie na urzędnikach państwowych lub wybranych urzędnikach, którzy sympatyzują z tą sprawą, oraz wykorzystanie zwycięstw wyborczych najmniej wrogich sił politycznych, aby uzyskać przewagę w podboju terytoriów.
