The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.
From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.
Octavia E. Butler, 1998:
Oh my gosh you guys! The House just passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for three more years!
The Trump admin is slashing the very programs that predict, prevent, and respond to disasters like the deadly Texas flood. Climate chaos is here, costing lives and billions. Ignoring it won’t stop it. Security means being prepared. Let’s get serious. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

9/29/2023— General Milley farewell speech: “We don’t take an oath to a tribe, we don't take an oath to a religion, we don't take an oath to a king or queen, or a tyrant, or a dictator, and we don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator.”
Never forget our country and Constitution come before any man.

A military spouse—Nicole Saroukos—was thrown in federal prison in Hawaii, held incommunicado, deported, and banned from the U.S. Her “crime”? Having tattoos and “too many clothes.”
This is how America treats the partners of service members now.

I am appalled by the deadly antisemitic violence in Washington, D.C. last night. Hate has no place in this country and must be called out in all its forms.
There are so many other ways veterans could benefit from the astronomical amount of money he is wasting on this embarrassing display of weakness.
What is a nation supposed to do when its leader is publicly committing impeachable offenses on a daily basis and the impeachment process is utterly broken due to slightly more than half of the nation's Congress being members of a cult dedicated to destroying rule of law
Class and dignity in everything.
MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️
They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador.
Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose.
No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.
Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think.
The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.
This is a clear statement by CNN that a man who incited an insurrection against America 4 years ago and told 31,000 lies in his first term still has credibility
People should be fired for this sort of thing, as it's these journalistic atrocities—all *dangerously* counterfactual—driving readers away
Nothing says ‘America First’ like a Trump coin dinner hosted by foreigners cashing in on the grift
Trump meme coin dinner to include mostly non-Americans based on top $TRUMP holders www.cnbc.com/2025/05/18/t...
Fact-check: True
A statement from AFM President Tino Gagliardi:
“The American Federation of Musicians will not remain silent as two of our members — Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift — are singled out and personally attacked by the President of the United States. 1/
WATCH THIS. He gets it right
Nottoway Plantation: the so-called “White Castle”, burned down. With it, a monument to whitewashed brutality.
We don’t need romanticized nostalgia for slavery. We need truth. Let this be the end of pretending these places were anything but what they were: crime scenes.
Watters: So my question to you is how big of a masterclass was this?
Jessica: While we were in the commercial break, Moodys downgraded our credit for the first time in the agency's history, so… masterclass
We should be ashamed of ourselves for not appreciating him breaking the law. ✈️ 💰 🙏
As mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka has a responsibility to ensure that facilities operating in the city are adhering to laws that protect the safety and wellbeing of occupants and residents.
Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?
An elected mayor and 3 members of Congress were arrested today for trying to inspect an ICE detention center. If peaceful oversight gets you cuffed, that’s not law and order — that’s a threat to democracy. Transparency isn’t optional. Accountability matters.
This is a spectacular display of incompetence.
