Venezuela – Rejection of Grave Aggression

The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela rejects, condemns, and denounces before the international community the extremely grave military aggression carried out by the current Government of the United States of America against Venezuelan territory and population, targeting civilian and military locations in the city of Caracas, the capital of the Republic, and the states of Miranda, Aragua, and La Guaira. This act constitutes a flagrant violation of the Charter of the United Nations, particularly Articles 1 and 2, which enshrine respect for sovereignty, the legal equality of States, and the prohibition of the use of force. Such aggression threatens international peace and stability, specifically in Latin America and the Caribbean, and places the lives of millions of people at serious risk.

Cruising for Normal | Eric Dean Wilson

Beginning in June, the Amtrak Police Department (APD) had been running a plainclothes sting operation in New York’s Penn Station bathroom—the old one near Eighth Avenue, not any of the new Moynihan ones. Writing for The City, Gwynne Hogan reported a clear “surge” of twenty-three arrests for “public lewdness” during Pride month alone. In the months that followed, around two hundred men were arrested, including, by September, twenty in one day.
