While reading the news from Budapest, take a moment to look at this photo of Hungarian-American Bela Lugosi at an antifascist rally in Los Angeles during the war.

Péter Magyar victory speech:

"We want to make a country where no one is persecuted because they think differently or because someone loves in a different way to others."

He may not have campaigned as a liberal. But this is a huge change of direction and rhetoric from Orbán’s anti-LGBTQ+ crusade.

one of many reasons i will never accept abandoning my trans siblings or the broader queer community for the purposes of "a bigger tent"

"All you had to do was pay us enough to live" really needs to become the clarion call, the cultural zeitgeist. Put the blame on those billionaires who could pay us but choose not to, to remind them, and everyone, that their greed is why the world is the way it is. They could stop this. At any time.

This is pretty wild: US federal agents who participated in the "Operation Metro Surge" immigration enforcement operation in and around Minneapolis have been given "Trump-themed challenge coins adorned with skulls".

This is the Republican Party.

This is what every person who votes for a Republican is voting for.

i firmly believe that kennedy wants preventable diseases to rip through american communities since, in his warped mind, those who survive without vaccines will have proven themselves “healthy.”

Alex says "well, economy's fucked. Time to start camming." She asks herself "what's my niche?" She gets an idea. She has set up a sexual version of Cow Tools. Her friend says "I don't get it..."

Trump's three angry Truth Social posts in the last hour suggest he may not be too happy about Melania's statement on Epstein.

Melania doesn't bother defending her husband. And isn't her reminder that Epstein didn't act alone an encouragement to look again into what Donald was up to with his pal?

It takes a lot of tiny movements to build something as big as universal childcare. We’re up to the task.

In 100 days, we’ve taken meaningful steps every day to make child care more accessible, affordable, and equitable for New Yorkers. Here are just a few of the milestones we’ve reached so far.

Miles Taylor @MilesTaylorUSA The Trump administration is quietly trying to build medical dossiers on all federal employees. Their prescriptions. Therapy appointments. Abortion records. For millions of people (and their families). They won’t say how they’ll use it. But I can venture a guess. Quote CBS News @CBSNews · 9h The Office of Personnel Management is asking insurers that cover federal employees and retirees to hand over details about their medical visits, their pharmacy claims, and more. https://cbsn.ws/4tBfdJ7

This seems bad.

It's upsetting to think that 1 out of every 3 people you meet is a sociopath.

2026 has really shown me that there isn't a single act that can be committed that's so horrible that 30% of people won't try to rationalize it as being good actually.

We've gone from "I Don't Know How To Convince You To Care About Other People" to "I Don't Know Why You Don't Have A Soul"

A screenshot of a post on X by Christopher Hale (@ChristopherHale) quoting an earlier post of his. ​The main post reads: "UPDATE: Letters from Leo can now independently confirm that the meeting took place — and that the Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics that Pope Leo XIV shelved plans to visit the United States later this year. Many in the Vatican saw the Pentagon’s reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See." ​The quoted post reads: "NEW: A stunning new report claims that the Pentagon summoned Pope Leo XIV’s top American diplomat and threatened him after the U.S.-born pontiff gave his January state-of-the-world address." ​The bottom of the post shows it was last edited at 3:22 PM on Apr 8, 2026, and has 1.5M views.

The Trump administration threatened to kill the pope to the Vatican's ambassador and install a antipope in the US.

When it happens, I am going to post a gif of Vir waving just like this.

Decades and decades of slow boiling resentment in conservatives, getting them to see education as a weakness and diversity as murder, the Republican voter assumed their final form -- seeking only to inflict harm for imagined wrongs.

Did you hear the story of the one man $1.8 billion business built by AI as portrayed in the @nytimes.com? Turns out basically every aspect of that story is bullshit and the story should be retracted.

Trump went from making insane genocidal threats this morning to hyping the “golden age” of Iran hours later, and he received no concessions in between. He’s an absolute basket case who needs to be removed from power before he follows through on one of his mass murder fantasies.

You can write a nice longer resolution with articles of impeachment laying out the case in detail; I've done it before and seen it introduced. But it is not a procedural necessity. The House can vote on a literally one-sentence impeachment resolution if it wants, that's perfectly valid.

Donald Trump is unfit to serve as the leader of the free world. That's why I have cosponsored H. Res. 939 Articles of Impeachment to remove him from office.

Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide.

Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session.

Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.

Iran closes all diplomatic and indirect channels of communication with the U.S., suspending the exchange of messages, following Trump’s threat to kill Iran's "whole civilization." -Reuters

The Republican Party is evil.

Morality and constitutionality aside, how do you propose “eliminating” Iran? We simply do not have the capacity to do this.

Republicans live in a fantasy world where you simply describe something and it manifests - a propaganda dreamscape that comes from mainlining Fox News and Twitter 24/7
