I think we should all start blogs again. Or online journals, even. That was a nice time. Just writing a few paragraphs about your day (don't forget to list the sad song you're listening to!) and maybe your friends will leave a comment. Then you go and read theirs and comment. It was fun.
That sound this morning is every Netflix writer furiously pitching a heartwarming sitcom called “The Pontiff vs the Presidency”
A series of posts from journalist Mark Chadbourn reporting on the acceptance speech of Péter Magyar after Hungarian elections: Péter Magyar: "Our country wants to live again. It wants to be a European country again." Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 24m Magyar's speech is powered.

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.
i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan
there is no politician so irreplaceable that we must overlook sexual misconduct because nobody else could possibly fill their shoes
this is cool bc it also shows you that on some level, in some field, we are still capable of doing things properly in this country. hoping that awareness spreads.
this feels like me traveling abroad and trying to get my eSIM to work properly the moment the plane lands
Incredible that human beings figured out how to do this. How cool. What if we only did cool stuff
a “ceasefire” that lasted 17 hours and killed 254 people in lebanon is not a ceasefire and referring to it as one is inaccurate
Nearly 20,000 people have been detained in just over a year, in the DC area. READ THAT NUMBER AGAIN.
The impact? Communities living in fear, avoiding public life (going to work, dropping their kids at school), and constantly questioning the occupation of our city.
ICE OUT NOW 🗣️
Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly:
- Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat)
- Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex)
- Humming (stimulates vagus nerve)
- Exercise (anything helps, outside even better)
- Impeachment and removal
Don't taco Tuesday this shit. Millions of people spent the day wondering if they would get vaporized, and no one in our government stood up to him. Nothing cutesy about it.
so, he should still be removed from office as soon as humanly possible
I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.
well today fucking sucked
Only a master deal maker could achieve the status quo of 5 weeks ago in exchange for accomplishing nothing of value and turning his country into a global pariah. Thank you sir
Iran's 10-point plan, which President Trump agreed to, includes the complete removal of all sanctions imposed on Iran, but does not include a commitment to give up its nuclear stockpile or to completely halt uranium enrichment.
It's not just Iran whose surrender is being demanded. It's yours. Your hope. Your belief in yourself and our collective potential. Your empathy. They want to crush those things. They want you to believe their will is inevitable.
They want you to surrender.
I have a father and mother in law in Iran. I have a sister in law. A niece. She's 14. She likes silly pink headbands and purses and dresses, just like kids her age all over the world. There are 93 million people like her in Iran. People who do all the normal mundane life things as the rest of us.
I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.
Washington Post Trump warns ‘a whole civilization will die’ if Iran doesn’t make a deal The president had issued a deadline of 8 p.m. Eastern time for Iran to open up the Strait of Hormuz, pledging destruction by midnight if leaders don’t comply. April 7, 2026 at 9:22 a.m. EDT26 minutes ago 2 min
Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.
you have to get him out of office and you have to do it today
even if it gets blocked you force an impeachment vote right now
how else can you live with yourself if he follows through with this and you didn’t do everything you could to stop it
“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.
i think if you tweet "a whole civilization will die tonight" you shouldn't go to the hague, the hague should get to come to you
sorry if this seems harsh but I don't think the president should be allowed to post "a whole civilization will die tonight" and still be president
yeah yeah yeah trump is dumb as hell and does hyperbole as easily as he breathes but the only way to kill an entire civilization in a single day is with nukes and like... we shouldn't be doing the "aww shucks he's not serious thing" about it
I don’t care if it’s a bluff, I don’t care if he tacos, I don’t care if it’s just for the theatrics. It’s unacceptable and abhorrent behavior no matter what and makes it shameful to be a citizen of this country
A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!
God help us.
Realizing that some of my inexplicable sadness about the Artemis II stuff is that it feels like a trans-dimensional communication from an America that took a different path and chose joy instead of fear and hate.
