I just came here to say this. It’s going to be hilarious when X sends you an alert saying I haven’t posted in a while & you should check out what I’m saying.😂 BTW, it took me 15 months to get 15k followers at the other place. It took me 15 YEARS to get that many followers her 221 views · 5 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies 09 Apr 2026 · Open on X →

Put another way, Trump cynically murdered more than 100 people in boats to provide cover for his military buildup & then killed 100 more in Venezuela to arrest his critic & steal Venezuela's oil. He now threatens Mexico, Colombia & Cuba in the region. This is World 518 views · 7 likes · 4 reposts · 0 replies 15 Jan 2026 · Open on X →

Trump's drug charges against Maduro and Venezuela are quicky debunked by IPS drug policy scholar @SanhoTree on @BBC. “These charges were fabricated to target a political enemy for political ends.” https://t.co/obzHCtjRt4 760 views · 4 likes · 1 reposts · 2 replies 15 Jan 2026 · Open on X →

The drug war acts like a “price support” for traffickers. Cartels are the last people who want the war to end. We will never make drugs disappear by making them astronomically more valuable. Stop amplifying the motivational feedback loop of the people you’re trying to stop. 547 views · 6 likes · 4 reposts · 0 replies 31 Oct 2025 · Open on X →

Most drugs cost pennies per dose to manufacture. But the higher the risk to the smuggler — like the risk of getting arrested, or blown up — the more they can charge. In short, our policies are making trafficking more profitable, not less. @SanhoTree: https://t.co/sbjuyILydG 744 views · 0 likes · 2 reposts · 0 replies 31 Oct 2025 · Open on X →

@SanhoTree Same here. I see all your posts there. Here, it is hit and miss, and it requires swimming in sewage. 23 views · 0 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies 25 Mar 2025 · Open on X →

Just a reminder that I’m basically done with this Nazi-loving site after 15 years. I’m at the other place now where my posts aren’t throttled and I’m picking up followers about 6 or 7 times faster than on X. The transition was MUCH easier than I expected. https://t.co/nBEc2xsDGa 1.7K views · 27 likes · 4 reposts · 1 replies 19 Mar 2025 · Open on X →
