I'm protesting at the Federal building in SF if Trump declares war in Venezuela

Someone has to stop this mad man. We ought to be helping countries like Venezuela, not invading them. We ought to be putting American resources to work promoting human rights and democracy, not bullying small countries, not killing their young —or our own. Especially when they haven’t done anything more to hurt us or their own than TT has done to us I don’t have much juice, but I’m putting what little I have on the line tonight if he announces a war he promote was against. Join me if it’s necessary.

...short of issuing a formal declaration, you still have declared war. We would certainly consider it that way if it was being imposed on us. Not sure why more in the international community are not taking these criminal actions to the UN and the ICC on the simple principals involved.

We should call for an immediate general strike and fucking shut everything possible down until he and the entire regime are removed.

Period.

This cannot stand.
