"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet a lifetime is often not enough to rebuild. They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found." -Pope Leo XIV
Pope Leo has dropped some bangers this week and while I’m not ready to walk back into church anytime soon I love that we are collectively fed up with cynicism with the gamification of suffering.
If the pope wants to say kindness is punk af, he gets a hell yeah from me.
Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people — and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.
The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.
The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.
This is incredibly moving.
At last night’s anti-Orbán concert in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square, the crowd cheered ex-army recruitment star Captain Szilveszter Pálinkás — now a whistleblower — as he fought back tears.
He recently said: “Orbán’s Moscow-friendly stance has only weakened our homeland.”

No Kings
My Favorite sign of all time at a No Kings Protest.
So F--king True!

I've been waiting for people who would say it loudly and coherently. Thank you for your service and being a TRUE Patriot. History should never be forgotten for it is always repeated in some fashion.
"Anti Anti-Fascism" directly equals and means "Pro-Fascism"!
Let’s go Cleveland!
No Kings!!!!

A massive No Kings crowd turns out in Los Angeles, California
Walz: We will never leave the side of our Somali Minnesotans. Here's our pledge to you, our Somali Minnesotans, your great grandchildren will still be here when that orange clown is in the dustbin of history.
We are the cavalry – proud to stand with so many patriots in Tarrytown and Nyack today at No Kings fighting for our country and what America stands for.
Holy New York.
De Niro: Every morning when I get up, I reach for my phone to look at the headlines of the day, and for some time now, I start every morning depressed about the latest outrage from our would-be king. I mean, it’s amazing—every fucking day there’s something new and crazy, but it’s different today…
Today, I had the honor of speaking to over 1,000 energized District 4 residents.
From veterans, to teachers, healthcare workers, students and hundreds of everyday residents who are ready to challenge the status quo and Elevate the Upstate in November.

A cold wind off the ice in Little Traverse Bay in Petoskey, Michigan wasn't strong enough to discourage hundreds of enthusiastic and peaceful protesters from turning out with signs and flags to line US 31. Democracy rocks even in the snowy north!
