Why Nonviolent Resistance Doesn't Require Your Opponent to Have a Conscience If nonviolence required tyrants to grow a heart, we'd be finishedβ€”violence is what they're begging for. History shows we beat them by withdrawing pillars of support until they're forced to concede.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.
