This was earlier today (Dec 5 2025). Businesses had to shut down, five people were taken by the Enemy, and observers were mass teargassed. For all that violence however reports are ICE had bigger plans and was defeated. They don’t use this much resources to take only five hostages.

On the 16th of November, protesters marched on the sports bar district in St Petersburg FL not far from the waterfront. Protesters emphasized that this war is about oil and has nothing to do with drugs etc.

A number of Trump supporters become quite hostile and confrontational, but none were up for backing their tough guy talk with action. Protesters essentially did a “thunder run” right through the sports bar area where lots of football-following Trump fans were watching games on big screen TV’s.

There were also quite a few supporters indicating they too oppose Trump, deportation, and wars of aggression.

On the 15th of November, activists showed up at the White House to demand Donald Trump cease and desist his violent attacks on and threats against Venezuala.

Trump’s US has bombed Venezualan boats, shot down an unidentified Venezualan aircraft(hope to hell it was a drone!), and is threatening the whole country with war. This is a continuation of the notorious U$ history of “gunboat diplomacy” in the nations south of the Rio Grande. It is also a typical example of the Fascist program of seeking foreign wars, same as Mussolini in Ethiopia or Nazi Germany in the rest of Europe.

Recall also that Trump backed a failed coup attempt in 2019, which had consequences inside DC itself. When the Venezualan Embassy staff was expelled, they handed the keys to Popular Resistance and Code Pink on the way out. After the coup attempt, upscale Venezualan exiles put the embassy under a literal siege that lasted for weeks. It took not one but two attempts for Secret Service to unlawfully sieze the building so it could be handed to the coup plotters’ agents.

I played a small role in that 2019 Embassy defense myself. I was on some of the teams that fought to relieve the siege by delivering food to the defenders.

Arlington, VA—They swept into the a North Arlington neighborhood like a well-organized herd of cats with their weapons of choice, 2.54 cm solid point sticks—made of chalk. They laid a line of block letters spelling ‘SHAME’ in various colors, tall and wide enough to see from a helicopter. For effect, they added giant arrows pointing towards the home of Russell Vought, Director of Office of Management and Budget (OMB). On the sidewalk at the edge of Vought’s lawn, they chalked “USAID Lives In Our Hearts—From The American People.”

The half dozen activists took about a half hour or so to complete the giant block letters. An unmarked security unit sat behind tinted glass in what appeared to be an unmarked police vehicle just feet from them but did not try to stop them. Their antics complete, the chalk affinity group stood in a line looking over their work briefly as if daring the security contingent parked there to come out. Then they faded into the daylight like cats do, as if they hadn’t even been there, leaving their chalk boxes behind like a cat’s paw prints
