Trump's violent and illegal kidnapping of the Venezuelan President and his wife is a threat to us all. If we allow this, any other country could be next. pic.twitter.com/rJF7EjKUSB

@codepinkalert This should shock the world. The Trump administration just crossed a dangerous line, kidnapping Venezuela’s president, declaring the U.S. will “run” the country, and threatening more attacks and troops on the ground. This isn’t about drugs. It’s about oil, power, and empire. U.S. interventions bring devastation, not peace. Contact Congress now and demand they invoke the War Powers Resolution to stop this illegal war: https://www.codepink.org/warpowersvzla CODEPINK stands with the people of Venezuela and all of Latin America. Hands Off Venezuela. Hands Off Latin America.

@codepinkalert CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss killed a 60 Minutes exposé on the conditions Venezuelan migrants faced in the CECOT torture center after Trump deported them there. When the media declines to criticize state violence from Israel to the US to El Salvador, they are no longer agitating or promoting the truth; they are running propaganda.
