C. From Middle East Monitor – January 3, 2026
US President Donald Trump shared on his social media account the first photograph of Venezuelan President
Nicholas Maduro aboard the USS Iwo Jima on Saturday, Jan. 3, Anadolu Agency reports.
Earlier, Venezuela’s government said the US of attacked civilian and military installations in multiple states, and declared a national emergency.
Trump confirmed the strike on his social media platform Truth Social, saying Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, had been captured and flown out of the country.
He later told Fox News that his forces did an “incredible job” and he watched the operation “in real time.” Asked about the next steps on Venezuela, he said the US will be “very much” involved in the process.
US Attorney General Pam Bondi said Maduro and his wife have been indicted in New York. The two have been charged with “Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States,” she said on X.
“They will soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts.”

1. Saturday, 1:00pm – 2:30pm, No War on Venezuela!
Meet at:
Powell & Market St
SF
STOP the BOMBINGS
Explosions have been reported across Caracas, Venezuela as an apparent U.S. bombing campaign has begun targeting the country. This war is not about drug trafficking, it is not about democracy — it is about stealing Venezuela’s oil and dominating Latin America. It is an outrageous escalation in a campaign of murder in international waters and piracy targeting civilian ships trading with Venezuela.
We need to take to the streets and say no to another endless war! The people of this country do not want another war! A U.S. war would cause death and destruction for the people of Venezuela. The war machine consumes an unimaginable amount of our tax dollars while working families struggle to make ends meet. In an all-out war with Venezuela, it will be working class young people who are sent to kill and die, not the children of executives at ExxonMobil and LockheedMartin. The people need to take to the streets and say not to Trump’s war on Venezuela!

to receive your personal link to participate in this event online
Please help us celebrate our return to the Starry Plough by ordering food and/or drinks.
Please arrive early to place your order so that you do not miss any of the presentations.
An open discussion will follow the presentations.
U.S. government officials have already admitted that CIA forces and other
“clandestine” warfare groups have been operating within Venezuela, and the
movement of large naval forces to the area signal an intent to invade.
The “clandestine” acts of war already constitute aggression, illegal under international
law. The blowing up of boats, with the clearly false excuse that they are somehow
running drugs to the USA, is a crime. Further military action will be war crimes.
Our speakers will address the question: Why is the U.S. Government, and particularly
the current Trump regime, attacking Venezuela, and what can we do about it?

3. Sunday, 1:00pm – 3:00pm, Boycott Chevron Picket
Temescal Chevron
5500 Telegraph Avenue
Telegraph & 55th
Oakland
Join a monthly demonstration at the Chevron in Temescal | 5500 Telegraph in Oakland | FIRST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH, 1-3 PM
Signs and chants will be provided. Bring your energy and tambourines!
Israel’s genocide machine couldn’t run without power from Chevron. Israel’s war on Gaza and Occupation of Palestine contributes to the climate catastrophe. Chevron supplies light and energy via its operation and co-ownership of two major Israeli-claimed fossil gas fields in the Mediterranean.
Chevron’s extraction activities are funneling millions of dollars in tax revenues to Israeli government coffers, directly fueling Israel’s system of settler colonialism and violence against all Palestinians. In 2022, those revenues amounted to over $462 million.
BDS is a global nonviolent Palestinian led movement, and we demand that Chevron immediately cut its contracts with genocidal Israel, and end its role in climate devastation globally.
