Yes! Hate Politics needs to be consigned to the trash everywhere
The LGBTQ+ community in Hungary in particular has been holding its breath: Orban tried to ban 2025 Budapest Pride and many thousands of Hungarians of all backgrounds attended, to flood the streets against him

I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but usurping the power of the purse isn't just one constitutional violation among all the many others. It is, uniquely and singularly, the death of constitutional government altogether. Game over, end of story, you now live in an autocracy.
Black text on white background “Happy Easter, New York! Today, millions of New Yorkers celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the victory of hope over despair and faith over fear. As the air warms and cherry blossoms begin to bloom, this holy day is a sacred time to pause and reflect on a season of rebirth. Whether you spend this day singing in pews, parading on Fifth Avenue, joining a processional guided by the bamboo trumpets of Haitian Rara music, or hunting for painted eggs amidst the spring grass, I wish every New Yorker celebrating a joyous day. Let us all embrace this holiday's spirit of hope and renewal as we build the City — and the world — that we deserve.”
Great to meet you, Ian!

Justice Jackson dissented about callous treatment of immigrants through the majority’s “grave misuse” of the shadow docket, & the “bald assertion of unconstrained executive power over countless families’ pleas for the stability our government has promised them.”
Looks like she got through to them.
A really difficult, really important read by our pal Will Selber.

Thomas Jefferson wrote, “Neither Pagan nor Mahamedan [Muslim] nor Jew ought to be excluded from the civil rights of the Commonwealth.”
Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.
I worked in a Peruvian restaurant in college, and that was the chef's "staff meal" and it was so good!
Anticuchos de Corazon from Peru, delish.
Maher: So being Christian is an important part of being truly American?
Boebert: Absolutely
Talarico: I always speak up on behalf of my non-Christian neighbors. Because we as Christians are called to love them as ourselves, and forcing my religion down their throats is not love.
Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."

"Love is the natural north star to look for in any character’s life. What we’re trying to find is what has driven them off-course. What has made them doubtful, uncertain of themselves and others, wary, wounded, lost." - David Corbett
Come for the fire, stay for the brimstone.
Pew Research Institute (2023):
• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.
DOJ is out of control. The crime of impeding federal agents requires physical force. Speaking out against the way ICE is being deployed is not a crime.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
You could be next.
Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open
Bari Weiss’ two accomplishments so far are hosting an interview that she desperately wanted people to watch (but they didn’t) and trying to spike a news story that she desperately wanted nobody to watch (but they did)
CBS NEWS: “We can’t report on the current murdering spree until we get the serial killer’s side of the story.”
I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?
Just when I thought I couldn't admire the man more...

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.
They are openly saying this.
Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

"In the worst cases, the infected would die from liver cancer before reaching adulthood. Brian McMahon, a physician who treated some of those cases, told me about one particular patient—'18 years old, 4.0 GPA, with a full ride to University of Alaska.'"
