Does he pal around with Pete Kegsbreath? 🍻🍺🍻

And Philadelphia

What could it possibly be about Detroit and Atlanta that has so captured the attention of the white supremacists in the Trump White House?

If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?

Anne Applebaum C @anneapplebaum X.com Read this thread Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar. 9h okay I guess I have to talk about Péter Magyar here. Let me just start with saying, in a very unladylike way, that you guys seem to have zero clue what happened in Hungary in the last two years,

Bogata Timár @BogataTimar 9h I don't know if you've noticed, but the guy just rid us from Orbán. You know what it takes to win an election against Orbán? It's not just making a party and campaigning. The rules were massively rigged. Hungary was gerrymandered to oblivion. The regime played dirty. • 15 17382 0 4.9K il 237K 贝 X 仚 Bogata Timár @BogataTimar• 9h Magyar was harrassed and provoked constantly. His phone was tapped with military spy software. His girlfriend turned out to be a Fidesz agent. Al slop was generated about him and fed to voters on the daily. Russian agents helped create smear campaigns against him. • 11| 17335 © 4.4K il 221K 仚 Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar• 9h O... His movement was infested with spies. State security were deployed to break down his IT system and perform data leaks. His supporters were harrassed. The entire country was flooded with billboards spreading lies about him. He was threatened with a leaked sex tape. Never wavered.

Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar. 9h In 2 years he has visited 327 towns, 517 times, visited 161 parishes of the 174, always went to the crowd, always shook hands, always took selfies. He often managed to visit 6 or even 9 towns in one day. Almost every day he was out with the people, telling them not to fear. • 5 17326 O 4.7K thl 217K G... Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar. 9h O... He showed people all the good that is in Hungary. He inspired them to start talking to each other. After 16 miserable years of being told they do not belong, people started feeling pride for their homeland again. That one can be a proud Hungarian and reject Orbán's mess. L7252 O4.5K ill 192K Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar • 9h G... If you don't care to see how Hungarians now cry on each other's shoulders, sing patriotic songs in crowded subway cars, honk the horns while wave the flags, proudly for the first time maybe ever, I don't know what to tell you. This is a watershed moment. And Magyar took us here.

Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar 9h Is he a center-right, conservative person? Yes, and? Nobody cares. He believes in a democratic state and the rule of law, and his job is to take Hungary back there. He has declared he does not care what one believes in, or whom one loves, as long as they love Hungary. 0 20 {7408 • 5.5K il 189K O... 企 Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar. 9h O... He's just given his very first press conference. He's not even PM yet. He has opinions and agendas, because he's a politician. He will further discuss them when the time comes. The fact that he was up there for 3 hous giving answers to actual questions is already a miracle to us. 04 LY 203 O4.5K thl 182K 贝 企 Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar. 9h Anyways. I'm glad you have learned his name. Its correct pronunciation is PEEter MAdjar. Extra points for saying the surname first. We will have plenty of time to pick his policies apart. But I'd like you to be aware that what he's done is for the history books.

Anne Applebaum said to read this thread over on the other place and I can’t find it on Bluesky so here you go 🫡 @anneapplebaum.bsky.social

/6 It’s not so simple, she said, with customary patience. Taking the Lord’s name in vain means invoking God’s name for our own selfish purposes, whether that’s swearing or convincing someone we’re telling the truth or justifying something we want to do. It’s using God for what we want.

Being mad that the Pope won't endorse your war is like being mad that your doctor won't endorse your cocaine habit.

COGNITIVE ASSESSMENT TEST QUESTION: PLEASE IDENTIFY THE DOCTOR.

Person, woman, man, camera, TV, doctor.

IS THAT? "Sir, can we help you?" "No, I work here"

I blame his voters. I blame every Republican in office. I blame every coward in media, business, academia, and politics who bent the knee. They taught him there are no consequences. They taught him he deserves obedience. They taught him he should be worshipped.

Oh wait…

Wasn’t Pope Francis the first “American” leader? Perhaps you meant this is our first NORTH American pope. And he’s right.

Agree with him on this, except that bats ARE NOT blind! 🦇😆🦇

Hey, I realize you're all busy with other stuff right now but I wanted to just take a minute to make it very clear that I am not and have never been close friends with the Boston Strangler

Chaco Canyon is sacred. As the Trump Admin rushes to push through oil and gas leasing in the greater Chaco Landscape—they announced yesterday that they will give only ONE WEEK for public comment on removing protections for this sacred place. Make your voice heard! NO to drilling in Chaco Canyon! ⬇️

Hegseth forces out Army’s top general Gen. Randy George’s ouster is the latest in a series of clashes between the Pentagon chief and the service’s senior leadership, and comes amid the ongoing war in Iran.

Hegseth's repeated moves to purge the military of anyone not judged a Trump loyalist should set off major alarms. But, because Hegseth presents as such a buffoon, his role in Trump's authoritarian project is underrated.

A graph titled “the public health success of the measles vaccine” that shows the number of measles cases in the United States plummeting after the vaccine was introduced in 1963

I showed this graph in class yesterday on how measles cases in the United States plummeted dramatically after the vaccine was licensed in 1963. It’s not subtle and I could not resist observing: “This stunning design in measles cases was not thanks to vitamin A. It was not due to beef tallow.”

This is an excellent summary of current circumstances

Kyle Kulinski: “A sundowning president with Alzheimer’s who’s a malignant narcissist is dragging us into WWIII, committing war crimes on a daily basis and crashing the global economy, and nobody is actually grabbing the steering wheel.”

The stupidest war in history, being waged by the stupidest president in history.

10,000 troops. Iran rattling sabers. Politicians playing chess with other people's kids. Trump's always brave when it's not his son on the plane. Iran says they're waiting on U.S. troops to arrive so they can "set them on fire."

He's the biggest threat to the people of United States...and the world
