Hungary was also the first former Soviet country to shake off communist rule in the late 1980s, leading the way for others. (Ironically, Orbán was a major figure in the resistance and transition to liberal democracy.)
I’m sure it has a secular meaning tho
My latest for @statecourtreport.org @brennancenter.org —this case has implications beyond gender-affirming care:

The OH high court heard oral arguments last week in a case that touches on two hot-button issues: parental rights and access to medical care for transgender children, writes @bjessiehill.bsky.social.
More grisly murders than a slasher film
Was that the State of the Union or a Dateline episode?
Ohio's corrupt Statehouse wants to punish school districts that successfully proved in court that the current voucher program is illegal.
Let that sink in.
There is a time and place for everything, and the moment when a demented authoritarian strongman is attempting to take over one of the last remaining independent institutions in the U.S. is, frankly, not the moment for your aCtUaLlY CeNtRaL BaNk iNdEpEnDeNcE Is HiStoRicAllY cOnTeStEd take.
In my opinion there are several things that taste at least as good as, if not in fact better than, skinny feels
Makes sense: how can Trump pardon Maduro if he doesn’t get convicted first?
How many books did you read in 2025?? Just kidding I don’t give a f*ck
No one is looking forward to closing the book on 2025 more than I am! Happy New Year!
Harmeet K. Dhillon @HarmeetKDhillon X.com "Conservative" influencers, if you think you are "keeping the pressure on" or "winning" by spreading bullshit attacks on @realDonaldTrump's hand-picked cabinet, you are NOT.

Ladies and gentlemen, the head of DOJ’s Civil Rights Division
To prime the kids for that fascist frog Pepe or whatever it’s called?
Never forget that just a week ago, Ross Douthat and the NYTimes were asking if women ruined the workplace.
Somewhere near downtown LA, no lies told — blue states keep MAGA country afloat. 🔥

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

You may be living in an absolutely racist country when 13-year-old Black boys are tried and sentenced as adults, but white dudes who *are* adults are called "kids" by JD Vance to shield them from culpability.
Great post from my colleague Joey Fishkin @fishkin.bsky.social. The same should be said about the preexisting Title VI demands. I don’t see any kind of “deal” that doesn’t fundamentally undermine the rule of law and academic freedom.
Under the compact, a mix of nine public and private universities would receive favorable terms for government aid if they agreed to conditions like banning consideration of race or sex in hiring and admissions, capping international undergraduate enrollment, requiring that applicants pass admissions examinations and suppressing grade inflation. Universities with large endowments would be asked to waive tuition for students interested in the hard sciences.
A sex-blind admissions policy at selective universities will not go the way that the Trump administration thinks it will.
Ms. Halligan, who took over on Monday after her predecessor quit rather than prosecute James B. Comey with what he believed was insufficient evidence, had a little trouble with the first two tasks. At one point, she entered the wrong courtroom. When she found the right one, she stood on the wrong side of the judge, then appeared confused about the paperwork she just had signed.
Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy
The need for fair congressional districts is beyond overdue. Ohio elected officials must pass a bipartisan map that accurately represents their communities.
Voters should choose their leaders, not the other way around. www.cleveland.com/news/2025/09...
Same guy who lied that immigrants were eating pets. Actual statistics show he's lying here, too.
That is very on-brand.

Once more, with feeling: The President has no authority to federalize *anything* in D.C. without Congress, and all Congress has authorized is using the (tiny) D.C. National Guard and 30 days of use of the MPD "for federal purposes":
