Given the huge early turnout in Hungary odds seem very high that Magyar wil defeat Orbán very decisively; the question in that case would be whether Orbán goes with the Ukrainian electoral interference lie he has been preparing and whether foreign actors support him.

The Onion is still undefeated 🧅

Bibi finally got his way.

✅ #Artemis II update: Day 9, Orion travelling at 4944 km/h, 212 895 km from Earth and 227 844 km from the Moon. Image shows yesterday's ship-to-ship call with members of Space Station Expedition 74 (pic: NASA). Track at nasa.gov/missions/art... @exploration.esa.int @fr.esa.int

4/5. When Orbán loses, that exposes the weaknesses of MAGA: talk of peace but need for war; talk of prosperity but fleecing of the working classes; talk of the nation but dependence on an international oligarchical network.

IMPORTANT People have been waiting for a year for Zelensky to start saying something like that.

It still seems unreal to me that humans will soon be flying back to the moon! They will be returning to Earth at a speed of 40.000 km/h, the fastest ever reentry of a crewed spacecraft. This remastered video shows a similar reentry from the #Artemis 1 mission back in 2022 at 9x speed. 🔭🧪

extremely astute and vital explanation of this ruling:

woke up and still thinking about these

I wanna point out something serious. The admin has been complaining about Iran winning the information war. This same administration shut down Voice of America, and other information operations the US govt does. It’s a self goal. Actions have consequences

I've been feeling like there's a huge gap in on-the-ground news from Iran, wondering if I'm missing it. what's the status of civilians? how many casualties? then remembered how many journalists Israel murdered in the last years. there's not even reporting from US MMS because they've all been gutted.

2/2. Trump used the Iran War as a pretext to lift energy sanctions on Russia, and even personal sanctions on individual Russians. Does anyone expect those to be reimposed? Of course not.

1/2. Notice that after losing the war Trump threatens his allies rather than Russia — even though Russia quite literally helped Iran defeat the US and he knows it.

I’m sure Kushner’s connection to Russia in the #EpsteinFiles are nothing at all….

Raise your hand if you believe the Pentagon is hiding actual death and casualty numbers from us. 🙋🏾‍♀️

So close!!

4:00 AM. Pouring rain. A memorial service is being held at Parliament for those killed on April 9. Day 498 of daily, uninterrupted protests has begun. Georgians will be on Rustaveli Avenue all day—where Soviet troops killed 21 demonstrators on this date in 1989. 🎥 Protest 24

The President of the United States is a madman.

The last 30k UAH left. Which is just ~691$ or 599€. Almost there finally. Just a bit more and the truck finally can go to the unit after a year. Let's do this.

Beautiful shot & beautiful metaphor. The "Man in the Moon" drifting off at right. The lunar farside coming into view at left. (Processing: Damian Peach) From the evolution of the eye, ~500 million years ago, until October 7, 1959, no creature on Earth had ever seen the far side of the Moon. 🧪🔭

OTD in 1949 Soviets issued orders for deportations from Moldova to begin. Over 30,000 people were forcibly moved, after we had "liberated them from fascism" in Great Patriotic War. Imagine this kind of thing happening today. Oh. Wait. My bad.

this is extremely upsetting to hear.

Russian attacks on Ukraine's railways are escalating and posing a more direct threat to civilians, as Moscow increasingly shifts from hitting infrastructure to targeting moving trains, including passenger trains.

Прямо так і відчуваю 🫩

Happy First Contact Day 🖖🏽

Elon Musk is now worth over $800 billion. Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Why the fuck are we paying taxes right now? Seriously.

Orbán's false flag should remind us that other people in similar situations (I mean Trump) will have similar thoughts. See my essay from yesterday on "The Next Coup Attempt." (2/2) snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-c...

NASA #Artemis II flyby coverage schedule; all times in Eastern. You can follow along live on NASA+ (plus.nasa.gov) or on the NASA YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/@NASA). It should be amazing to watch!

watch the free youtube stream instead 🥰

Stop sane-washing Trump. He’s a mendacious, vicious, cruel, narcissistic, deranged idiot. We will still respect you as a journalist if you admit the possibility that the system that gives you your sense of insider gravitas is profoundly flawed.

In every other modern democratic country in the world, this statement would result in the immediate removal of the president or prime minister. 😳👇

Another day another chance to finally close this fundraiser after almost a year. 83.5k UAH left. Till the anniversary of the fundraiser - 9 days. Let's do it.

Great article about my favorite TV two-parter of all-time. And a great tribute to writer/showrunner Michael Piller, without whom this humble scribe doesn't get to achieve his dream of writing for the screen.

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

I keep repeating the same message. people always laugh at what a bad job he's doing. but he's not doing a bad job, he's succeeding at his actual intention the entire time, which is to make himself and his Friends incredibly rich.

Christianity is the biggest, most profitable scam in America.
