EU’s top court finds Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ+ law in breach of key values ECJ says law passed in 2021 is discriminatory and ‘contrary to the identity of the union’, in early test for new PM

“The EU’s highest court has found Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ+ law to be discriminatory, stigmatising and in breach of basic democratic values…”

This is a crucial decision. The court rejected the political claim that LGBTQ+ representation is “propaganda.” We must keep fighting politics that dehumanise us.

Impeachment, not the 25th. He is unfit for office, but his problems now are because he has surrounded himself with enablers and thinks he has no restrictions or consequences.

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

ICYMI — new HUNGARY 🇭🇺 PM Magyar says Netanyahu will be arrested if he goes to Hungary

Dumbo picked a fight with someone who has a much larger cult following, and who he can't bully with tariffs, sanctions, or boycotts.

Back to the simple natural order of things…….. not human arrogance based on destruction of our water,air, environment for profit…… for the 1%

How tragic that you could publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish a cartoon like this over and over again...

The media's disinterest in Trump's hallucinations smacks more of collusion than incompetence Trump hallucinated an entire peace agreement. Now everyone's pretending it didn't happen?

In which I go slowly insane.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.

Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.

But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.

Trickle down hoax.

Ford, province to sell $28.9M private jet 'as quickly as possible' after public backlash | CBC News Ontario is looking to sell the $28.9 million private jet that was recently purchased for Premier Doug Ford's use "as quickly as possible," following backlash days after the purchase was confirmed publ...

Doug Ford:

If you don't like being scrutinized and are tempted to whine about it, then you are FREE TO RESIGN and live on your own money without wasting taxpayer's time, money or inclination.

Pay for your own fat ass a softer cushion to plop that nepo baby behind in.

Just Go!

- Henry

How did Doug Ford spend $28.9 million without any oversight? On a jet plane is atrocious BUT when did Premiers get the authority to spend $28.9 million on anything without oversight?
