I’ll have what Hungary’s having.

Orban consolidated power by making the electoral system less proportional and gerrymandering districts of very unequal sizes.

That gave Orban supermajorities when the opposition was divided and less popular—but it turned an opposition landslide into a supermajority that can now dismantle the regime

Melania: this government will not pursue the Epstein perpetrators, but we will pressure their victims to give public testimony about the crimes inflicted upon them in a venue with no jurisdiction so they can be harassed and threatened into hiding just like Christine Blasey Ford.

Let’s be clear: Russia attacks, Russia refuses a ceasefire, Russia chooses to continue its war of aggression every single day. Ukraine has offered an unconditional ceasefire and wants peace. While Ru refuses to stop the war, Ukraine defends itself and retaliates. Ukraine has never attacked anyone.

There's no denying it: The Trump regime is deliberately committing war crimes in Iran. (Scott Ritter is a MAGA Russian puppet. So it's surprising to hear from him) War continues to divide MAGA www.fascism.link/p/theres-no-...

It goes without saying that this divide runs through most, if not all, societies. But nowhere have I seen this rupture as clearly as in the U.S., and as persistently ignored. /3

Baldwin said, “The question the white population of this country has to ask itself is why it was necessary to have a n* in the first place.
Well, I‘m not a n*, I‘m a man. But if you think I’m a n*, it means you need it. And you gotta find out why. The future of this country depends on that.” /2

In the seven minutes of Kimberly Jones’s whole video, I learned and understood more about this country and its history than I did in an entire year of high school in the United States. /1

A map showing Ireland in pink, with the Aughinish plant in the Shannon marked, and a dotted line to Denmark. A label (which has a picture of the plant) reads: Ireland → Russia The bauxite is refined in the Limerick plant and alumina is then exported to Russia on ships to Novy Port, which is near the western Russian city of St Petersburg.

This @irishtimes.com report traces how bauxite mined in Brazil and Guinea is refined in Ireland's Aughinish plant, then shipped onto Russia, where it is used in weapons.

Können wir bitte das Kapitel "Doch, doch, ganz sicher, die Sozialdemokratie muss nur in der Migrationspolitik auf den Kurs der Rechten einschwenken, dann kommt das wieder gut" jetzt definitiv ad acta legen? Danke, merci.

Gomez to Gabbard and Racliffe: "If the president can just ignore what you're doing, why do you even have a job? Why even advise him? You're saying the president can say tomorrow China is an imminent threat no matter what the intelligence says, and then he can take his own action."

Donald Trump letting you know how the authoritarian capture of the media is going, in case you missed it. Unlike other authoritarians in places like Hungary and Poland he has no worries about advertising his authoritarian take over of the media.

I'm working on a book outline that argues democracies rely on the constraint of power through functional verification, deliberation and accountability and how thats been hollowed out and captured in the US, and he just tweets it out.

Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democratic information conglomerates. All of them.
