People in the Budapest Metro, Hungary, shouting: “Russians, go home!”

Scenes from Budapest tonight.
Hungary has chosen Europe.
Europe has always chosen Hungary.
A country reclaims its European path.
The Union grows stronger.
Viktor Orbán won't see your posts cheering his loss but U.S. right-wing authoritarians will.
Let's go Hungary. Orban loses after a 16 year old rule where he bled Hungary dry, tried to destroy its democracy, its universities, its free press all while using EU funds to build himself and his cronies mansions and stadiums. Orban can be defeated. Trump can be defeated. Keep fighting for hope.
BREAKING: the judges who dismissed high-profile cases in immigration court against two international students who have advocated for Palestinian causes, Rümeysa Öztürk and Mohsen Mahdawi, were fired yesterday, alongside four other judges.

Legal eagles noticed, and there’s been SOME mainstream coverage. But overall the political class has underreacted to this month’s OLC opinion, ordered up by Trump or on his behalf, declaring the Presidential Records Act unconstitutional. Things are likely being stolen and/or destroyed *right now*.
As a Hungarian living in the US I hope this endorsement goes as well as when he endorsed losing House candidates in the US. Hungarians are ready for change.
After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X.
This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵 (1/5)

Wow, a magnet, a fan, and a tote bag? Now totalitarianism that you guys enable every day and clap for will surely be stopped
Probably because we keep focusing on civilian infrastructure?
BREAKING: President Trump has issued an unlawful executive order attempting to severely restrict mail-in voting.
The Constitution is clear: Only the states or Congress can change election laws.
This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...
San Diego No Kings. FDT.
SPRINGSTEEN IN MINNEAPOLIS: “This is still America… and this reactionary nightmare and invasion of American cities will not stand.” 🇺🇸
(From ablackpolitical)
If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today.
That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right
His constituents would probably vote that child rapist into office.
Deploying ICE at airports is to normalize their transition from being a special operation targeting immigrants to being an entity that polices all.
This is the production of the American Gestapo, one institution at a time.
When Democrats accuse Trump of a crime, it's because he actually did it.
When Trump falsely accuses Democrats of a crime, it's because he actually did it.
How do you fix a situation where a corrupt president can have his allies make bogus lawsuits against our own government, and then direct his corrupted "Justice Department" to settle and shell out taxpayer money to his corrupt friends?
We need to start thinking about writing laws around this *now*.
The government hands your tax dollars out as gifts to the President‘s criminous toadies.
So in this Iran scenario, we’re playing the part of Japan attacking Pearl Harbor and dragging the US into WW II. Does anyone remember how that ended for the Japanese as a strategic move?
Rep Dan Goldman (D-NY) reveals and unredacts FBI documents showing Trump sexually assaulting a minor. This is, in part, why we're bombing Iran. youtu.be/OLnU9IWEIgw?...
NYT on Feb. 13, 2026: The visit also demonstrated the relative foreign policy inexperience of Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, who has made a few overseas trips since taking office but does not sit on any House committees devoted primarily to world affairs. She struggled at times to formulate succinct answers at a nighttime panel session, during which she was asked probing and specific questions about how to respond to international crises. Questioned about whether the United States should send troops to defend Taiwan if China invaded the island, she stalled for roughly 20 seconds before offering a substantive response. “I think that, uh, this is such a, a — you know, I think that — this is a, um — this is of course, a, uh, a very longstanding, um, policy of the United States,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said, before saying that the country should try to avoid reaching that point with China in the first place.
NYT on March 16, 2026: On Monday, Mr. Trump claimed that “numerous countries have told me they’re on the way,” noting that President Emmanuel Macron of France would most likely help in the Strait of Hormuz and was an eight out of 10. “Not perfect, but it’s France,” he said. Others are not demonstrating sufficient enthusiasm for his demands, he said.
Last month the NYT said AOC "struggled" to give an answer on Taiwan and quoted her with "uhs" and "ums" to make her look stupid
Yesterday talking about Hormuz Trump claimed he's heard from "numerous countries" and said "uh" four times. The NYT deleted the "uhs" and paraphrased him to look smarter:
This is dumb. Let Trump own his high gas prices. Maybe learn to fight him on stuff. Prepare for his eventual impeachment. Anything but whatever this is.
and she asked all the women in the room to stand up because (paraphrased) “i wouldn’t be here without all of you.” such an amazing moment.
They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.
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 think they understood and liked their orders. I don’t think they were ignorant at all. They came across as racist, misogynist sociopaths.
Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."
